When we rely upon laws to enforce decent behavior, we end up spending our hard-earned money on attorneys. Rather than legal recourse, I’m on a mission to amp up my personal charm and collaborative kindness. Good manners are contagious.
Let’s get viral together.
Winnie Nielsen says: You can almost “hear” the quiet of the snowy day. Beautiful!
Debbie Fischer says: So serene and lovely!
Karlyne says: Shhhhhhhh….
Nancy Coughlin says: Peace and Joy to all!
Winnie Nielsen says: Simple things make the best arrangements.
How beautiful! I just love seeing pine and rosehips together. Is that Curly Burdock I see poking up in the back? I gleaned some of that for my Fall decorations 🙂 Thank you MaryJane for always making me smile with your wonderful photos 🙂
Winnie Nielsen says: What pretty brown paper with candy cane designs! I have never seen anything like it before and I love the way you can create beautiful wrappings with brown paper.
Karlyne says: I want the twine holder!
Christina D #5572 says: You can order the twine holder from Lehman’s, it’s cast iron and it hangs, it’s a little different but same idea.
Connie-Killarney says: I am always in such awe of Nature’s colors! If only more people would stop and “Smell the Roses” and watch the leaves change color!
Connie
Winnie Nielsen says: Pretty star face!
sharon d. says: She is just adorable! I would love to give her a hug 🙂
sharon d. says: Well, I guess I should have read the other post first 🙂 Charlie (he) is adorable 🙂
Winnie Nielsen says: So many possibilities for repurposing these lovely new linens. I wonder what Magnolia Pearl would do?
Terry Steinmetz says: I’d love to go through that stack! 🙂 I just got some interesting articles from a church silent auction. Vintage stuff in top condition. So happy to use them!
Winnie Nielsen says: You know how this Farmgirl loves apples!!! These are so cheerful and fun.
Debbie Fischer says: Oh those are just so sweet. I made a stuffed pumpkin Friday, so I guess now I need to make an apple. I love the one made out of the old quilt. Oh who am I kidding, I love them all.
Happy Monday.
Karlyne says: Are they pin cushions? They would be so adorable in any little girl’s sewing basket!
Eileen Widman says: Love Love Love these!
Kim Noah says: I think these are so sweet…did I miss the tutorial on these??? Would love to surprise my mom with some (and impress her to)! 🙂
Kim Platt says: Love it!! These are cute!
Sharon D. says: I love this photo and can just picture some large vintage Christmas lights strung while parked in a field of snow 🙂
Karlyne says: It’s beautiful! I’ve always wanted one! Indispensable! What is it?
Betty Stone says: I lived on a farm many, man y years ago. I have never seen anything like your photo. What is it?
MaryJane says: As far as I know, this is what my father-in-law (and the other men in our little community–one grader per neighborhood) used to grade the roads way back when–pulled by horses. My husband and I used it one year to cut ditches in our field so we could keep the spring run-off from eroding a particular field. He hooked it up to our tractor and I sat on it and worked the blade. I’ll check with hubby when I see him next. He might know more of its history.
Sharon D. says: How peaceful and relaxing. It makes me want to pack a picnic lunch, grab a blanket and then nap in the sun 🙂

Red! My favorite color for just about anything!
Gotta love those frost free hydrants!
