July Greetings!
“Look out into the July night, and see the broad belt of silver flame which flashes up the half of heaven, fresh and delicate as the bonfires of the meadow-flies…”
~ Ralph Waldo Emerson ~
Glorious July!
Flags fluttering from farmhouse porches…
Small town parades, simple and sweet…
Fireworks that BOOM so loud you can feel them…
A red and white checked tablecloth on grandma’s picnic table, clothespins holding the corners tight…
The striped hammock smelling of sun-warmed canvas…
A frosty glass of lemonade…
A book on the porch…
Doves cooing in the pine trees…
Fireflies that wink from the depths of the evening garden…
"That beautiful season the Summer! Filled was the air with a dreamy and magical light; and the landscape lay as if new created in all the freshness of childhood."
~ Henry Wadsworth Longfellow ~
EWM Offerings
Visit my Early Work Mercantile page where I’m offering several sets of my small boxes covered in patriotic papers and two antique samplers.
Fresh Finds, Linen & Threads
Lots of fresh new finds have been added! Formerly called Flea Market Goods, you will now find them under “Finds” – different name, same great stuff like old bibles and photographs, chalkware sheep, old spools of thread, shoe buttons, and vintage strawberry emeries. Please have a peek – and remember, shipping overcharges in excess of $2.00 will be refunded.
I’ve also added a good selection of Weeks Dye Works linens. They can be found under “Supplies”.
And last, but not least, I’ve added more floss packs! So, if you were looking for hand-dyed threads for one of my designs and couldn’t find them in the past, check the new listings under “Threads”.
Doll Patterns
All of my doll patterns are now available right here in mailed or instant download format! Remember to create an account to access your instant downloads.
~ Shop Owners ~
For the first time I am offering my doll patterns to you at wholesale prices. Since I do not have wholesale pricing set up on my new site yet, please email me with your order and include your Tax ID – thank you!
In Closing...
Until next month, my friends, wave your parade flags, enjoy a glass of lemonade, and relish these blessed days of summer…
