This collectible would be my pick in the Collectible section of my shop. Take a look at all of the photos. I think it is really special.

OR...this set of Victorian children's flatware

In the supply category that I call DIY there are some old 30's and 40's women's dress patterns. Also, the nicest lining I have ever seen called Si Bonne. If I were still sewing for myself, I would never sell it. It feels, acts and looks like silk.https://www.etsy.com/listing/491421300/vintage-si-bonne-beige-lining-silky?ref=shop_home_active_10

Lining fabric never gets better than Si Bonne, which is no longer made.

So there are some of the 40% off items on my Cyber Monday sale. Happy Cyber Shopping Day!

Please Don't Feed The Deer

We have lots of apple trees on our farm. We also have quite a few Hazel Nut trees, also berries and grapes, a barn with hay, and grass fields.  So, naturally, we also have lots of deer. You might think deer are wild in the wilds, but, no! Actually, they can become quite tame and getting tamer. They teach their fawns to be unafraid of humans. Well, certain humans, anyway.  The humans that live on “their” property are okay.

For instance, I can walk down our long drive to get the mail, walking among them close enough to nearly touch them, and they just stand there watching me. You see, the trick for them, is to train those same humans to feed them in the hard times. Which are coming. But, I am not going to do that and neither should you. Here is an article that gives us 5 reasons not to feed the deer.

Here is another well written article in Outdoor Life that warns us not to feed deer.

It is far kinder to them to let them be. Be sure to read how deadly corn is for them.

I would like to share with you some recent photos taken on our farm and in our yard. We have a natural habitat for all sorts of wildlife. We are blessed.

Opps. Our other wildlife.

Happy November
