When we rely upon laws to enforce decent behavior, we end up spending our hard-earned money on attorneys. Rather than legal recourse, I’m on a mission to amp up my personal charm and collaborative kindness. Good manners are contagious.
Let’s get viral together.
Winnie Nielsen says: You know how the old British word for umbrella is brolly? Well this scene makes me think of British rose covered cottages with flowers brought inside.
Sara Knight says: I’m reminded of ladies in long white dresses sipping iced tea on the veranda.
Bonnie ellis says: Wouldn’t it be loverly to have real roses at Christmas for the brolly. They don’t grow here in the winter.
Winnie Nielsen says: Beautiful beeswax candles!
MaryJane, my Mr.Bump was flying around a corner this morning and tried to jump on the porch and slipped and banged his back leg. It looks like a jammed joint and he is hobbling about. Vet visit at 10:30am. I hope it isn’t broken or require surgery! Poor Bump!!
Shannon Hudson says: there is something calming and soothing about warm candle light!!! Not to mention the sweet aroma when it is beeswax candles!
Bonnie Ellis says: How fun! Using the old light bulb holders to hold candles. Gives a very old look.
I love the smell of beeswax.
I love turkey work.
I love MJF.
I love shared patterns.
Thank you and Merry Christmas!
Winnie Nielsen says: Such a sweet stocking and definitely Farmgirl Romance!
This is worthy of putting on a pillow ( or stocking as the case may be) to remind us daily of what is truly important.
Bonnie ellis says: Such a wonderful and true saying. Fun sock too.
Winnie Nielsen says: This reminds me of a frosted Gingerbread house without the candies all over it.
PS~ I was excited to hear that Carol was wearing her knitted turban hat yesterday! I hope the socks are keeping her toes warm in style as well.
Pat Martin says: This photo of the birdhouse is fantastic! Is there anyway that I can get a copy of it??
MaryJane says: The photos we take here are the farm are used over and over again. For that reason, we keep them under wraps.

WOW!!!
Recently my husband and I decided to use the alphabet to help list all the things we were thankful for (idea from Max Lucado). Amazingly, the first letter we shared in agreement the thing we were most thankful for was K. Kindness. Those random acts of Kindness. Those times when situations work out to be win-win. I love your post. Collaborative kindness. Here’s hoping it goes viral!
Such a golden view of the world. Beautiful.
