Helping you keep your farmgirl dreams alive is what we’re about at MaryJanesFarm. We take great pride in the fact that we can talk farm tools with the best of them … except ours are adorned with a dash of pink and a smattering of lovely red. Our grit and grace motto goes together like peanut butter and jelly, chips and salsa, peas in a pod, biscuits and butter, and Ozzie and Harriet.
Our Day TWO winner for a free one-year subscription to MaryJanesFarm is
Ta da!
To do.
Check.

“Have enjoyed MaryJanesFarm from day one. Full of so many wonderful things from recipes to gardening ideas and soooo much more. The pictures are gorgeous and I have never seen any content that I didn’t love!”
Chipped nail polish, worn-out soles, split ends … everything gets a little beat up now and then, and the same is true for books and magazines.
We have a stack of poor souls that just didn’t survive the bumps in the road, the jostle of UPS boxes, and/or were squished in an overt display of misjudged stacking.
Our loss is your gain.
Today is the day we begin our eight-day FREE magazine subscription GIVEAWAY marathon.

Okay, this special day calls for a GIVEAWAY in celebration of a GIVEAWAY (just to keep you on the tippy top of your bargain-hunting tippy toes). Today is the day we begin our eight-day FREE magazine subscription GIVEAWAY marathon. But I have another burning question that will net another lucky winner a new MaryJane’s Home chenille bedspread worth about $100.
Here’s today’s question for you (answer below in the comments section) that will enter your name to win a brand-new old-fashioned chenille MaryJane’s Home bedspread:
What’s your favorite memory of your grandmother? Here’s why I ask this question. In the 400 or so retail stores like Belk and Fred Meyer where we sell our chenille bedspreads, clerks tell us that women, upon seeing a bed dressed in one of our chenille bedspreads, bring a hand to their heart region, and say things like, “Oh, this sooooooooo reminds me of my grandmother!”
So, what’s your favorite memory of your grandmother?
Of course I dream of Paris. Don’t most of us? I can see myself outside a café at a little table, sipping something lovely coupled with a delicious pastry.
Carol and MaryJane share the same birthday—probably the reason why they’ve worked so well together for so many years—they’re really two peas in a pod. So today we’re celebrating their birthday farmgirl-style with a triple chocolate cake (Saralou’s surprise), gluten-free brownies (Karina’s surprise), huckleberry cupcakes with cream cheese frosting and lemon cupcakes with huckleberry frosting (my surprise made by my friend Traci).
Yup, no pictures of us today cause we’re reserving the day for sweat pants and celebrating (eating). I’m thinking we’ll make popcorn for lunch.
to stop and smell the flowers. Just a friendly reminder from Miss Mia, who had no idea the adult meaning behind it when she asked me as we rushed through our day if she could please stop and smell the flowers.
Hubs took a load of bedding and fixtures to our store in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho, yesterday. Why?
