Great Find: Rose Embraced Umbrella

Who doesn’t need an umbrella fringed with red roses for the “outside” chance that nature might call? (She always does.) Straight from the pages of my Glamping with MaryJane book, we have you “covered” for a mere $22. (This was purchased from Victorian Trading Company for $34.95. Still like new!)

First Book logoAll proceeds (minus shipping and packing) will benefit www.firstbook.org, a non-profit that provides new books to children from low-income families throughout the U.S. and Canada.

The first person to call the farm and talk with Brian, 208-882-6819, and pony up a credit card, becomes the new owner of a little bit of herstory.
Shipping will be either USPS or UPS, our choice. No returns.

Wonderful to meet you!!!!

What a great turnout! Aren’t we lucky to be able to meet so many wonderful and interesting people?! My daughter Meg, SIL Lucas, and I thank you for joining us today at Herberger’s in Chubbuck, Idaho where my MaryJane’s Home bed linens are sold. BTW, the store was packed with shoppers because today is one of their “CommUNITY Days” in which a portion of sales are donated to 25 local organizations. They’ve extended it an extra day through tomorrow so they can accomodate everyone. If you’re local, there are some serious bargains to be had today and tomorrow, Sunday. I did all my Christmas shopping for the grandkids today … now, where is that UPS store? Either that or buy another suitcase:) Thank you Southern Idaho and Herberger’s!!!

Today’s Recipe: Duck Dinner in a Dakota Fire Hole

Yesterday, Ashley and I showed you how to skin a duck. Today, for the recipe of the week, we’re showing you how to best cook your fowl when you are in the remote wilderness.

My suggestion?

Cook your meal in a Dakota Fire Hole.

These fire pits are SO nifty.

They take less wood to fuel.

They burn hotter.

And they’re less likely to catch nearby brush or trees on fire.

Below, Ashley and I have a three-course meal you can make when you are out camping that is totally delicious and leaves you with little KP. We also show you how to correctly dig a Dakota Fire Hole and why they are so cool. Grab yer gloves, mini shovel, and axe, and let’s get to work …
