Yesterday, I spent most of my evening, at my desk, working hard on the Art in the Yard Sale. I finished eleven pairs of earrings & stamped sixteen bags for packaging. I still have so much more to do, but I am happy because we still have a month left to prepare!
——
Because you have all been such a great source of inspiration, I want to celebrate by giving you a pair of my earrings.
So, if you would like to participate, leave a comment on this entry anytime before tomorrow, Tuesday, at 8:00 p.m. I will announce the random winner on Wednesday morning!
Thank you for visiting!
& happy winnings 🙂
love,
Natalie
Luke & I had a wonderful time at the farmer’s market this morning. We are both so excited for the season to start again so we can enjoy all of the fresh vegetables, flowers, fruits, eggs & honey. Yesterday morning, we purchased three dozen eggs (one for each of our homes & one for Jess), a phlox plant, a strawberry plant, blueberry jam, & a bar of handmade lavender soap for a friend. We felt like we were apart of this beautiful community of farmers & those appreciative of their work. Luke was introduced to so many vegetable farmers because he is looking for work this summer; they’re all just so friendly & welcoming. Be in prayer about him finding work!
On our way home, we stopped by the Root Cellar for spinach (they sold out at the farmer’s market!) & I stopped in Peace Nook for some incense. The honey scent is my favorite.
For the later part of the day, I baked some cookies & did some work in the beds with Jess. Luke & I helped some friends move into their beautiful new home, finished my taxes (finally!), & ate some delicious dinner.
& it’s 9:05- I need to be getting ready for church!
Have a beautiful Sunday!
love,
Natalie

Happy Friday! I am so excited for this weekend- clear skies & warmer temperatures. Luke & I plan to rent a movie tonight & relax. On Saturday, I’m looking forward to the farmer’s market, reading “Real Simple”- given to me by Luke, & helping close friends move into their new home.
It will be a good weekend, I’m certain.
