You MUST See This!

 Oh my!  Jolly arrived in England without a hitch!  I really LOVE it that each hostess has taken her time to entertain him, find him wife candidates, and apply her own style to his tour.  Aren't people kind?  I'm so thankful!

Angela will keep him for a while and I will keep you updated when she posts about Jolly.  Here is the recent post about his arrival: Jolly in England

It's yarn crawl time which means Colorado knitters visit as many wool shops as they wish to and get stamps or stickers for each shop.  I don't participate but I did get a bargain when I happened to be in Longmont near the shop there.  Many yarn stores hold special sales during this time. These are mini skeins for socks or shawls. Aren't they lovely?

A sweet friend and I organized the teacher resources for the children's program at Bible study.  Doesn't it look great? 
I got this book in the mail.  Does it look interesting?
I think THIS one looks VERY interesting!
I've had this book for a while, but I'm revisiting it.  There are so many yummy veggie recipes inside!
The glads that Millie Rose and I planted are wonderful!  I've never been successful with them before so YAY!

Thank you for visiting Angela (and Jolly) and thank you for visiting ME.  You're nice.

The different shades of your yarn are very pretty. I do like a well organized closet and you did a great job! It should be easy to find things. Yippee for your gladiolas. Pretty shade. We love mediterranean food and just found a new to us restaurant to try the next time we are in Spokane. Hope you have a wonderful weekend.

Warren Wiersbe! I'm sure that is an inspiring book. And now I must go see what Jolly has been up to on his visit to England. It's been great fun reading about all his adventures.

The yarn in shades of purple is so lovely! I like purple but I don't think I own a single piece of clothing in that colour.
I'm going to look for The Church of the Small Things. Looks interesting and I notice that Ree Drummond has written the foreword.
Enjoy your yarn!!

I love seeing what you have been doing. The colors show up better than on my computer than my phone plus they are bigger.
Your shelves look fantastic.

That yarn looks so nice for socks. I would fancy a pair to keep my feet warm this winter. I knitted a pair of socks years ago with a pattern. I may have to find the time to knit a pair this fall when things calm down.

Wow! your supplies look amazingly well organized and those shelves are so attractive. Yay on successfully growing beautiful glads. The only thing that stops me from growing them is that I have to dig up the bulbs in the fall.

I was over to Angela to read all about Mr. Jolly's arrival. I'm sure he's in for a lot of fun and possibly meet the love of his life.
Hugs,
Julia

lovely yarn - I like your red chairs with the useful bit to take hold on the backs. It's lovely that Jolly is being so well received :) The first book looks interesting.

I do like the colours of the yarn.
That Mediterranean cook book looks interesting, I'm sure there will be some lovely recipes in it.

I'm sure Jolly will have a wonderful visit with Angela in England.

My good wishes.

All the best Jan

Your glads are so wonderful! Aren't they an impressive flower? They seem so exotic and yet they are fairly simple to grow. I planted a bunch of them this summer, but the grasshoppers mowed each of them down. I like the sounds of your books too. ~Jody

I love Mediterranean recipe books. Wish I would actually make some of the good things in them! I went to jr. high in Longmont and lived about 7 miles away. My step-son and his family still live there. You're always wandering around in my old stomping grounds! The books look good and I love all of your organized shelves of goodies for the kids! Hugs and blessings to you, sister in the Lord! :)
