What an adorable photo of little StellaJane’s first day! It is so exciting for both Mom and daughter. A true milestone.

Oh, my goodness! Time has flown. I still have her height on the wall in my dining room from when you were here. She was just a bit of a thing then. 🙂 I hope she had a fabulous day!

Poor girl! I hope she still had time to go glamping.

STUNNING!

Totally amazing!!!!!!

Wow! Here I am trying to just get them to come to my flowers/feeders, and y’all have them eating out of your hand..literally! What an amazing photo and once in a lifetime opportunity. Thank you for sharing with us!

Could you send me posts of “Raising Jane” thru my email?

Thanks!! Kim

So *how* do you get them on your hand in the first place? Just stand near red flowers with your hand up? I want to do this!

Age 55 and I can still remember the thrill of dad running along the bike and then letting go….then you trimble a little, then suddenly you’re doing all by yourself!

About 90% of my glamper goodies are “used” items … including the camper! I’ve purchased a lot of vintage items to accessorize it (aesthetics); many of the utility goods were purchased at thrifts stores or yard sales too – like a single burner Coleman, 1940s cannisters, a wool granny squares afghan, lanterns, silverware and various kitchen items etc. I’ve been haunting 2nd stores since I was in High School (1970s) and I don’t want the cure :o) Over the years, I’ve found some AMAZING things … one of my all-time best finds was a gorgeous Cashmere coat for my father — it still had a handsewn tag on the sleeve. Cost: $5. ‘Thrifting’ is good for both the seller and the buyer and it is especially FUN for the buyer when you SCORE a treasure.

I agree with you, Meg. Get those clothes out to the stores when they will be of use to someone else. Most thrift stores have limited storage capacity and current wares help them generate sales. Not much they can do with donations of summer stuff in December! I am coveting that cute red and white strip jumper you donated! Florida is a bit far to get to the shop to buy it!! I just took some things this past weekend to my favorite thrift store. You are right in that if you just keeping saying, not that today, for an entire season, it pretty much means the time has come for a trip to the thrift store!!

I love to thrift shop & rummage sale. It is so much fun to see what others have/want to get rid of. Recently I purchased a milk glass pedestal bowl with grape vines & grapes on it. A perfect match to redecorate in my kitchen that I finally painted & am redoing. And for a bargain price. When the kids lives home, we went to rummage sales once a month to collect whatever we needed. Now my girls love to rummage sale whenever they can. It is so-o-o relaxing. I also purge things we don’t use or haven’t used in 6 months. I take them to Goodwill.

Ha! I love it! The items above are all actually the adorable things I found while dropping my wares off. 🙂 I so wanted to bring that cherry dress home, but it wasn’t my size. 🙁 But I did find some fabulous tea cups for my collection over the weekend too. So much for just dropping stuff off. Oops!

Cheers to girlfriends far and wide! Have fun on your trip Meg… you two look lovely!!! 🙂
