Darling brown and white trees from the thrift store. I can't believe I dithered back and forth for two weeks before I dropped the fifty cents and bought them.

Anna, they are lovely there. Sorry for the late comment; the blanket (knit, teals for baby) is wonderful! And we were in the state below yours last week!! warmly from Mary Brooke
Lucky you! Normally if I dither too long, the item is gone from my thrift store... which then leaves me with regret for not snapping it up earlier. I then wax philosophical and tell myself that it wasn't 'meant to be'.
Beautiful find- and so thrifty, too. I also tend to mull a purchase over way too long, often not following through with the purchase only to grieve it later. Glad you let yourself claim this pretty treasure.
This is a qestion from an old post but I wasn't sure if you read old comments. Do you use your fresh ground wheat for your artisan bread in 5 minutes? If so do you use all fresh wheat and have you had to make an adjustments? Thank you for your time.
Thanks for my belly laugh for the day, Anna! Dithering back & forth...that is so funny. Probably because I recognize myself...seriously, I have done that before. Sometimes I am rewarded anyway, & make the purchase, & other times....well, let's just say I know the pain of regret for having hesitated.
I am an evangelical Christian. I have two daughters whom I homeschool: Bella (15), and Daisy (8), and three older children: Giles (21), a college graduate, Felix (19), a college junior, and Clara (17), a college freshman. I'm 42 years old and happily married to my Dear Composer. We live in a 1920's school converted into a home, outside of town. And God is good.
Feel free to Pin my photos, but please link back to the page you found them on.
Photography
Photography is an important part of life at my house. Photos that appear here are taken by Giles, by the Composer, and by me. Giles is a real, paid photographer, and he uses a Sony Alpha. Most of the photography prior to September 2008 is his. Since then I have done most of the shooting and I use a Konica Minolta. Additionally, the Composer offers me nice shots on occasion, often from his little Canon point and shoot. I've given up trying to note who's done what. Thanks for your interest!

Those are perfect!
Ha! I've done that too... oh, I don't know, do I want to spend $.50? Sometimes .50 just gets you! :)

Sometimes it's hard to imagine how it would look in our home - they look charming!

The trees are really pretty!
I usually make my artisan bread from King Arthur white bread flour. It's not our staple, healthy bread--more of a dinnertime treat.
simply beautiful...love how tasteful they are!
