Picnic Time


The Dog Days of Summer are upon us and Picnic/Barbeque season is in full swing!


You can bring your food in an ordinary shopping bag or cooler,


but why not add some vintage flair with a modern style in a repurposed picnic basket


or a backpack that you can carry while cycling?


A basket filled with a selection of local wines, beers, jams, and/or cheeses makes a romantic and unique wedding gift.

Fabulous Fall

Autumn is in full swing in New Hampshire, and it's the perfect time to be outdoors, whether walking through the colorful leaves, taking a scenic drive, tailgating, or enjoying a fall picnic with friends



Surround yourself with autumn's beautiful colors





The season is short, enjoy every moment!

Bethlehem Summerfest

Summer is at it's peak with this spell of hot and humid weather.  Thunder storms, heavy rains and above average temperatures have wreaked havoc on my garden. The berries are prolific however, and soon the days will be crisp and dry.


 In between trying to save the garden,  and spending as much time as I can with my beautiful new grandson


I've been sewing and crafting.  Here is a little preview of some new items I will have at the Bethlehem Art Walk this Saturday, August 11th. 


 Pretty mix and match cottage bed pillow cases in vintage floral prints trimmed with lace and pom poms


 Garden girls hand embroidered lavender sachets and pillows


Some fun new towel designs useful rustic farmhouse kitchen art

Stop by and say HI!

Here's a sneak preview of some of my creations.

Autumn's Bounty


"How silently they tumble down
And come to rest upon the ground



To lay a carpet, rich and rare,
Beneath the trees without a care,




Content to sleep, their work well done,
Colors gleaming in the sun.




At other times, they wildly fly
Until they nearly reach the sky.



Twisting, turning through the air
Till all the trees stand stark and bare.



 

Exhausted, drop to earth below
To wait, like children, for the snow." 


-   Elsie N. Brady, Leaves


May you enjoy a bountiful autumn season...

Lupine Fields and Garden Picnics





God made a beauteous garden
With lovely flowers strown,
But one straight, narrow pathway
That was not overgrown.
And to this beauteous garden
He brought mankind to live,
And said "To you, my children,
These lovely flowers I give.
Prune ye my vines and fig trees,
With care my flowers tend,
But keep the pathway open
Your home is at the end."

God's Garden” 
― Robert Frost
