Hello Saturday!
Miss Lucy doesn’t even want to get out of bed this morning, and I can’t blame her. It was FOURTEEN degrees outside when I woke up. 14! Now that is downright chilly.
On the agenda for today:
- Check out local craft fair
- Return books to library
- Make sheet pan nachos for dinner
- Work on rug hooking kits
- Find a reason to stuff myself with sweets 😉
How about YOU? What’s on your to-do list for today?
Have a great Saturday everyone,
♥ Mavis & Lucy

The picture of Lucy is priceless❤️
HollyG says
We have a few more lights to string up outside and some batches of krumakaer & kokosmakroner to make. Other than that, a nice roaring fire sounds good. Not cold here, but rainy and grey so a fire is nice for the heat and the light. Hope Lucy can find a way to warm up that other end.
Sharon says
I’m puttering with the plants outside in 75 degree weather, love it! And I’ll be making a gumbo a bit later.
Jules says
Trying to find a Christmas tree. Can you believe finding an affordable tree (or better yet, a free one ) in the PNW isn’t so easy
HollyG says
We found that too – we sent last weekend and the nurseries have very little choice. We finally ended up at a U-cut (with no boots!). Hope your search was successful.
Karon Monahan says
At a series of basketball games with the grands!!

Cold here in Western NC.
I am staying inside today.
Love your blog!

I stopped by Landis Valley Village and Farm Musuem for Christmas in the Village day. I also bought our Christmas tree, and worked on some decorations!
Mrs. M says
Worked this morning (at the local Post Office… busiest time of the year), came home, fixed lunch, made sweet tea, and cleaned the kitchen. Our daughter is in a wedding this evening so the hubby and I are getting ready to attend, but I’m already sleepy. I’m hoping my hot cuppa vanilla almond tea gives me a little more energy.
Those are beautiful cup towels! You are very good at finding treasures!
Shelby says
I’ve been outside all day with my two dogs. It’s been sunny, with temps in the low 60’s, a perfect Fall day in Texas!
Cindy Machristie says
Trying to get well. Sick for the last week
Lori s says
These towels are gorgeous!!!!!
Lori s says
Home Depot kids workshop in the morning and then my son’s first basketball game….plus running errands in between!
Brenda says
I have been following your blog for years…love it..I also follow another PNW blog, if you every find a free minute in your busy life check out https://www.lostpeacock.com/. This girl is amazing, as you are! And if I ever get a chance I am going there. And when I am free to travel again ( 4 dogs) I am coming to Maine. As a Mass. native it is sad to say I never ever went to Maine. When we were kids driving last thing we wanted was a COLD beach! Now I can appreciate the beauty not just want the beach.

Handwoven anything is special and appreciated just for being being made by human hands.

All my mom wanted for her 79 birthday was for me to help her decorate and wrap Christmas presents. We did that today! By the way I help her every year.

One of my favorite childhood memories is playing Barbies with my sister. We would always argue over who got to have Ken as a husband because we only had one Ken doll
