Pictures Should be Seen and "Felt"

What can I do with this empty wall? What can I do to change the look of this room? Our suggestion is to check out these new wool/felt pictures! A nice, simple look to warm up your home atmosphere. Please stop by and see (and feel).

Gourdkins

We have been transitioning over to fall - big time! New stuff has been coming in like fall pod and stick assortments, leaves, garlands, potpourris, table linens, dishes, gourds... and these cute little gourdkins. Adorable - don't you need several? Also, take note of the antique dough bowls, patched with copper, in which they are displayed. We think they are pretty cool, too. And, just another little tidbit - the wooden bench is from the industrial arts class of the Otranto, Iowa, high school (from around the 1930's). My Grandma Moore was a teacher there. She taught her own kids and later would teach her grandkids, including me, at Carpenter, Iowa.

Lunch Mail

Yes, the new school year is almost ready to begin. It actually starts here August 19th. Just to add a little fun, you should pick up a box of "lunch mail". These miniature pop-open greeting cards have messages of love, encouragement and self-esteem. Each box contains 30 different messages and are perfect to tuck in a child's lunch box or backpack. Imagine the surprise and happiness your student will feel when finding "lunch mail"!
