Here we are (my daughter and I) in the lovely new Fred Meyer store in Meridian, Idaho, last Saturday, with our new lovely towels, making new lovely friends.<\/p>\n

(Pssst, gingham towels.\u00a0My inspiration? My collection of gingham aprons, of course.)<\/p>\n

In this photo, I had asked those in attendance if anyone had any duct tape in their purses. The young woman on my right just happened to have …<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

… a handmade duct tape PURSE in her possession. So not your father’s duct tape.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

When I asked if anyone had a screwdriver in their purse, I met Gabby for the first time, who we’d featured in a past issue of my magazine. She and her mother, wielding saws and hammers, completely repurposed and upcycled their home. So not your daddy’s remodel job!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

My daughter delivered Gabby’s prize for being ever so handy dandy and the contents of her purse were living proof.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Even though my new Glamping with MaryJane<\/em> <\/span><\/a><\/span>book won’t be released until Sept. 1, my publisher thought to provide me with a cute label I can\u00a0autograph that goes inside the\u00a0book the minute it arrives.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

New friends just kept on coming.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

And then …<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

a handmade gift for me …<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Me! A needle-felted Jane with long braid and\u00a0basket of eggs.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Oh my. Willie has a new front-porch-sittin’ friend. Like I said, LOVELY new friends.<\/p>\n
