~ Please enter this give away! (click on picture)
~ Got lazy this year and decided to buy my strawberries already picked! Much easier on the back. Made 14 little jars of Strawberry Jam (freezer variety), and froze a whole bunch in little bags. Yummy!! There is nothing like the taste of freshly picked strawberries.
~ Managed to sew a new bag. This one has a magnetic closing device. It's made from light weight upholdstry fabric.
~ If you are over 40 - you really need to read this post on a blog I found the other day. It is so funny, yet so true!! Oh - make sure to read the comment from Mr. Martian! (you'll understand when you read it):

~ Do you enjoy scrapbooking and have lots of little pieces of paper left that you just don't want to throw out? I have a solution for you!! Found this wonderful paper making shop on Etsy, and Chrystal has a listing where you can send her your paper pieces and she will make you brand new - handmade - paper from those pieces. Isn't that the coolest? Click on the picture to go to that listing.

~ What flavor icecream are you?
Apparently I am Coffee Ice Cream:
Energetic and lively, you are always on the go. You're doing a million things at once and doing them well. You tend to motivate others and raise spirits. You are most compatible with chocolate ice cream.

Hi Audrey,
ReplyDeleteI love yor new bag it so pretty and has a vintage look.The strawberries look so yum ! nice on a hot summer day.I entered your last comp for the Designs By Kari but I notice my post wasn't there.Sometimes I forget to hit send so I will do another one.
xoxox Make sure you rest this weekend.
Those strawberries look delicious! And I love the new bag too. Magnetic snap closures are my favorite. I don't like to have my purses just hanging open, but a zipper seems like too much to fiddle with when I'm in a hurry to dig out my phone or my wallet. So the magnetic snap is perfect for me.
ReplyDeleteHey Audrey,

ReplyDeleteAudrey - I just love your blog! The strawberries look so yummy... Makes me want to run to the local strawberry farm. :) Thank you so very much for mentioning my paper listing. You are a Sweetie!!
ReplyDeleteDear Audrey,
ReplyDeleteRemember when you said that if you won that zippered pouch from Finn Fancies that you would give it to me
because you love me so much? Along with some strawberries?
What do you mean you don't remember?
Hmpff. I have it on tape. Somewhere.
Love, Kate
:)
There is nothing like fresh strawberries...and you can take that farther and say there is nothing like fresh strawberry jam. I just canned two dozen jars this week myself.
ReplyDeleteI'm crazy about your bag. The colors are just the ones I love. Keep working, your work is terrific!!!!
ReplyDeleteMmm...i too love strawberries! Thanks for showing the zipper pouch from my shop that you won!!
ReplyDeleteYUM! I love strawberries too!

ReplyDeleteAnd congrats on the wins!
I love the idea of a paper recycling shop on Etsy, and I love the little bag you got from Finn. Love the fabric!
ReplyDeleteThose strawberries look scrumptious...have never made jam and would love your recipe if you want to share. Lisa.
ReplyDeleteI love strawberries , yum ! Thanks I'm off to read the old chicks post .
ReplyDeleteoh my goodness. send over a bucket of strawberries please!
ReplyDeleteThe earrings are really pretty! And it's a good picture. I can't seem to get jewelry to take good pics (they come out blurry!).
ReplyDeleteOooh! I made strawberry freezer jam this year too. I think we got 19 500ml jars. We should be good for jam through the winter I think.
