So we're spending a few days inside at home. The weekend is looking up as we warm back to the 40's and 50's which will be nice so we can all get out a bit and enjoy a little sunshine and warmer temps.<br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"> </div><div style="text-align: center;">In between the wintery weather we've had on and off the last several weeks .. we were able to revamp our Potting Shed Shop space which is located in "The Vintage Peddler". in Springfield, MO...<br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"> </div><div style="text-align: center;"> I've talked to so many gals on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/sweetmagnoliasfarm/" target="_blank">instagram</a> the last week that are so ready for Spring to arrive .. I think it's just about 50 days away so that isn't too unbearable. And before we know it Summer will be here and then we'll all be so hot we'll want it to cool off .. LOL !</div><div style="text-align: center;"> </div><div style="text-align: center;">While I'm waiting for spring to arrive ... I like to bring the spring indoors .. it's so easy to do by just adding a sweet vignette to your farm table, dining table, entryway etc ... ..create a cute centerpiece .. with a wood dough bowl or enamelware bowl... fill it with green or even spanish Moss ... add in a few vintage garden tools or even newer ones are good too .. a few dried or silk flowers tucked in .. some old seed packets and old flower frogs... just whatever garden style things you have around to create your own sweet spring vignette .... it makes a great start to adding a little spring feeling to your home sweet home...</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">And if you don't have any seed packets .. In my <a href="https://sweetmagnoliasfarm.blogspot.com/p/free-printables.html" target="_blank">Printables </a>section .. I've added several vintage seed packet images that you can save to your computer and print out .. cut them .. use as they are or .. you can glue them to some card board to give them a little more body.. punch holes in the tops and add a jute tie or ribbon .. create a spring seed packet garland .. the ideas are endless .. it's never to early to get started on some of your spring inspiration .. <br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> I hope you get a little garden/spring inspiration to carry you through until .. the sun warms the earth, the grass peaks out from it's soil bedding, the flowers begin to reach for the sky and the trees awaken in their bright spring green leaf spectacular to bring us yet another beautiful awakening of God's lovely creation ...</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> Here's a few sneak peeks into the Potting shed for a little inspiration ...Enjoy💗 </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYKYvkkPug9RW5IGYZchaTRJozT_w21syYeNS5kqPQgQisHhXcj8_mgz7OvNSVMUOlolxyvG3lprN2r5xsvMdRUcJd8BhawZ5eoY_KioTAlXcFtrA7Qs4uFxWPtURXB6jNicsPTlH5ockxpnSQcal0TQEMc8KEJtUZ-NTp1RhoYpS_Hj0s0pMNU9rd/s2135/1B71F32F-FF28-47B8-9215-5CD199B93AD6.jpeg" style="display: block; padding: 1em 0px; text-align: center;">and<img alt="" border="0" data-original-height="2135" data-original-width="1548" height="600" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYKYvkkPug9RW5IGYZchaTRJozT_w21syYeNS5kqPQgQisHhXcj8_mgz7OvNSVMUOlolxyvG3lprN2r5xsvMdRUcJd8BhawZ5eoY_KioTAlXcFtrA7Qs4uFxWPtURXB6jNicsPTlH5ockxpnSQcal0TQEMc8KEJtUZ-NTp1RhoYpS_Hj0s0pMNU9rd/s600/1B71F32F-FF28-47B8-9215-5CD199B93AD6.jpeg" /></a>

Sometimes life is just down right dissappointing ... When we look around at the world we live in and see all the hurt, hate, ugliness, lies, deception, evil, anger, destruction, pain, harm, that goes on constantly around us ... it can be very hard to see hope in it all. This is exactly why the Lord told us not to put our hope in worldy things or goings on. Why he said to keep our eyes on him. To keep our minds in tune with his. To keep our lives focused on the narrow road. To Live our lives daily honoring him ... Because in the end this is not our home.. So if you're feeling overwhelmed and Saddened by this old world we live in .. yes those feelings are 100% real and true Because this world is overwhelming and it's mighty sad to see how all the things I mentioned are abounding ... but God said we... just little old me and little old you are the light ... remember that song "This little light of mine, I'm gonna let it shine" ?... Let your Light Shine .. it just takes a small lit candle to light an entire room ...Instead of focusing on all that ugliness out there ... focus on letting your light Shine !!! He told us, “Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.” Matthew 5:14-16
"Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. Consider him who endured such opposition from sinful men, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart." Hebrews 12:1-3 and ....
“Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it. Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it.Matthew 7:13-14
So get out Your Lights and Lets Make them Shine !!!
Until Next Time

Do You have a Sister Circle ... ?It's been a lot of years since I've taken the pleasure of sitting down and just reading a book. It's something I used to on a daily basis. I'd ready myself for bed .. and then crawl in my covers with a new/old book and delve into another world. Sometimes I couldn't put the book down and I would read into the wee hours of the morning of course making it hard to crawl out of bed for work the next day .. some of those stories just get their hooks in you and don't turn loose ...<P>
Well as I said it's been a lot of years since I enjoyed reading in the evening .. life changes and there were a number of reasons I quit one being as I got older I had a much harder time focusing for long periods of time.<P>
Recently Abbey Mom mentioned to me "do you remember that book series you read years ago about some ladies" .. well that was pretty vague and I have read a lot of books over the years. I tried to think of what book series that would be and just kept drawing a blank. She kept at it for several days into a week and another until she said it's something about a circle ... then another few days she was on her laptop searching for inspirational books with the word circle in the title. Finally she said one day was it "Sister Circle" ? .. It sounded familiar ... <P>
She looked up that name and sure enough there was the book series "The Sister Circle" by; Nancy Moser and Vognette Bright. Yep sure enough that was the books I had read and shared with her umpteen years ago .. lets not count ! Interestingly I had only shared with her about the books all those years ago but had never read them with her. But somehow they popped back in her mind and well I have to call that a "God Thing."<P>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHRkRh9RCiENrvOw4Cy9-SbQ-E1gKTOqBmQx_sV8xC8rNVCsUpXpy2RUdf-Bsz5IQFvnIhkXLiusSC9pQQtrND7L-3FtS_dNIBHQSuiscwXLqFT48L8rd_hfgJG8xQiCaTfwi5soUsS50ap5shvq8J6ksXt8EvXwYUc8EZM5MM7WmzHWOjx7Uxj82G/s500/sister%20circle.jpg" style="display: block; padding: 1em 0; text-align: center; "><img alt="" border="0" height="600" data-original-height="500" data-original-width="312" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHRkRh9RCiENrvOw4Cy9-SbQ-E1gKTOqBmQx_sV8xC8rNVCsUpXpy2RUdf-Bsz5IQFvnIhkXLiusSC9pQQtrND7L-3FtS_dNIBHQSuiscwXLqFT48L8rd_hfgJG8xQiCaTfwi5soUsS50ap5shvq8J6ksXt8EvXwYUc8EZM5MM7WmzHWOjx7Uxj82G/s600/sister%20circle.jpg"/></a></div>
I would love to say that I still had the books but not long after I read them way back when I loaned them to a family member and from there well who knows where they ended up. <P>
Abbey researched purchasing them again so we could read them ... and in so doing found a wonderful site called Internet Archive Search where you can borrow books for an hour at a time as long as no one else has it checked out and can renew that hour as long as no one is waiting to check out the book behind you .. I guess you would say it's a virtual library ... <P>
We were both thrilled ... and I started reading aloud the first book in the evenings for about an hour and a half .. Not having read aloud for that long in years my throat got a little sore the first few nights but it soon went away and we are now half way through book 3 of 4 in the series.<P>
Honestly after all the years that had passed since I read the series I couldn't remember a lot about the storyline other than a lady had an old antique house that she turned into a boardinghouse ... And these women along with her created The Sister Circle. That Circle like the circles in the water created by a pebble thrown into a pond reached further out to more women and more lives with back stories, histories, heart ache, anger, frustration, that turns to hope, joy, love and a future none of them could have ever forseen. <P>
There's Evelyn who's just lost her husband and wonders what she's going to do with a big empty house full of rooms and her life... Enter Mae the 50 something Hippie, Tessa The 60 something History buff that's serious and staunch, And Audra Mom to 5 yr old Summer a young twenty something trying to make a life for her and her daughter after making bad choices as a young woman ... The Four women argue, irritate, frustrate, share their secrets, Bond and Love one another and begin the Sister Circle .... only to move out move on and leave Evelyn with empty rooms needing to be filled once again ... It's moving, Touching, right to the heart with lots of wonderful life lessons to be learned and wonderful Joys to celebrate.<P>
The series is just an absolute joy, it makes you think about others, Understand others, and most of all above all things LOVE others with a servants heart. <P>
We'll be starting on book four in the next few days and honestly I'm already dreading that there's an end .. I hate that there's an end .. when you fall in love with the cahracters and the lesssons to be learned and the new lives they are living .. you just don't want there to be an end .. Kind of like a good movie series that you hate to end.<P>
If you're a reader, or like me it's been a long time since you've read, or maybe you want to try your hand at reading .. this is such a great series ... give it a try .. you can check it out at the virtual library <a href="https://archive.org/search.php?query=the+sister+circle" target="_blank">HERE</a> ... or you can purchase it online in a variety of places ....<P>
Book #1 is The Sister Circle
Book #2 is Round The Corner
Book #3 is An Undivided Heart
Book #4 is A Place to Belong<P>
If you're looking to have your heart softened, your outlook on the ppl that surround you changed and for God to fill your heart with his overflowing Love will this series certainly fills those desires ....
<P>
Until Next Time
Sweet Blessings

House this last weekend ... In my last post I shared our Sweet Magnolias Farm
Potting Shed Shop with you .. Today I'm sharing our Farm & Cottage Shop Space
... We had a great Spring Open House ... and I guess we packed the shops so full
it honestly didn't look like a lot was gone when I went in to the shop to make
sure everything was picked up and to fluff after the weekend .. But to my
surprise there was a lot of tags in the books so lots more sold than I realized
... Sometimes when I pack the shops so full like I did for this open house it's
actually really a nice thing because it keeps everything looking so nice for the
week after Open House for shoppers that didn't get to come to the open house.
Enjoy the pictures ... OH ...the last photo is of the shop space and the
balcony/portico that's built over one section of it .. we change the scene on it
seasonally ... so for spring we went with a cute clothesline dressed with
vintage aprons ... our Dress Form "Honey" (aptly named after Honey from the
Canadian TV series "Wind at my back" for her cute dresses) ... She's dressed in
her cute 1930's floral print dress and floral flour sack apron ... and our sweet
picket fence has a wonderful antique quilt and straw hat decking it out ... The
Portico is one of my favorite features of this shop space .. no we didn't build
it .. the owner did when she opened the mall .. but we get the pleasure of
having it as part of our space and being able to changed out the scene for each
season...

once a year City wide yard sale we went to last year and did fairly well finding
antique and vintage goods at so we were excited to head out and try our luck
once again this year... Being veteran antiquers for well over 30 yrs now .. we
always know it's a gamble that the same event will be equally good time after
time .. sometimes it's a win win and other times it's a dud ... Sadly today was
pretty much a dud ! .. we found a few small things .. but overall for the time,
mileage and not to mention that ugly 3 letter word "GAS" ... it wasn't as
fruitful a day as far as yard sales go ... However as the photo says "You can find
me at the Flea Market" .. when all else fails find the local antique malls and
flea markets

So we hit a few of our favorite haunts and although we didn't find anything
extremely fabulous or cool .. we found some antique and vintage goods we loved
.... some for the shops and well one or two things for ourselves ..
Abbey collects old hardware store aprons and she got a super cool one today ... I Love
old baskets and I found a neat tall square style one with a leather latch on the
front which I love .. some antique linens, hardware, and a few other odds and
ends made there way home with us ..
The Best part of the day was driving by a house that had a badly broken Antique Chair and Rocker with the best back
spindles and cool elements we can destruct and use .. with a big "FREE" sign on
them .. well we whipped the van over to the curb and loaded those up ...I know I hear Ya so where's the pictures of all that great stuff .. I'm super bad at taking photos ..so please forgive me .. I'll try to get better with time .. So all
in all it was a pretty good day .. and one spent with friends and family is
always the best ...
I hope you all have a great weekend ... I'm going to enjoy
the sunshine and the warmth for the short time we'll see it once again ... as
more rainy weather is headed our way early in the week .. Until Next Time Sweet

Not intentionally by any means .. I honestly just ran dry on words. My well was empty. And in all honesty my well of words has been empty ever since. Changes in life, from moving long distance cross country, age related changes of body, mind and spirit, and simply working tirelessy to eek out a living are just a few of the things that took me in other directions .. but mainly my word bank was empty.
It's been just over 2 years now as I said since my last post ... and there's been a stirring in my heart to return to my roots, where I spent time sharing my heart, my life, my work, and most of all inspiring others to live a life filled with, and overflowing with God's love ... He is starting to feel my mind and my heart with words again and I look forward to sharing what he lays on my heart with all of you once again. This morning I was in search of a link online ... and ended up on Dr, Chales Stanley's website In Touch Ministries .. and I ended up reading a few articles but really loved the excerpt I have included from one below. So take time and read it ... and let it all sink in ... God's always there Blessing us waiting for us to stop being busy, stop being involved in our work, family affairs, phones, social media, shopping,,, for us to simply say "Thank You" Lord for all you do for me. I want to leave you with this thought ... If you have a refrigerator filled with food, Or maybe it's empty right now ..not because you don't have the means to fill it .. maybe you need to grocery shop or maybe you prefer to eat out ... nonetheless ... "You are rich" ... yes I'll say it again "You are Rich" .. Abbey (Mom) says that often when she opens the fridge here at home to myself of my Dad .. "Do you see all that food in there ..."We're Rich"... And she means it with all her heart .. to her a fridge full of food represents a richness because she knows as I do from years ago what it's like to wonder where you're next bit of food will come from. Gods Blessings for us a Full fridge of food .. Thank You Lord for the food you have blessed us with .. thank you Lord we have full tummy's and thank you Lord for providing the Jobs, Work, and finances that provide that food ... Blessings .. their a chain reaction .. One Blessing leads to the next ... So what's your Chain Reaction Blessings ..? Thank God for them today !
Sweet Blessings to you all ...
And Happy Spring ... I certainly am ready for Spring to arrive .. we actually had snow flurries here today .. and it's going to be 70 degress on Sunday ... It's confusing my body and the tree's !
Until Next Time
May God's Blessings pour out upon you !

LOVE THIS .. IT'S SO TRUE BUT SOMETIMES IT'S JUST NICE TO READ IT AGAIN AND
AGAIN .. This excerpt from a wonderful article : "Simply Jesus"by: Renee
Oglesby from Dr. Charles Stanleys In Touch Ministries site Here:
https://www.intouch.org/read/articles/simply-jesus
You are probably familiar with Jeremiah 29:11, where God declares His
intention to give His people prosperity, a future, and a hope. It’s a really
popular verse for memorizing and sharing with others, not to mention printing
out and framing for a ready reminder of how God provides for us so abundantly.
But notice the verses that follow: “Then you will call upon Me and come and pray
to Me, and I will listen to you. And you will seek Me and find Me when you
search for Me with all your heart. I will let Myself be found by you,’ declares
the Lord” (Jeremiah 29:12-14). Isn’t it interesting that what follows the famed
promises about all that God gives are verses about seeking God and finding Him?
The order here might seem reversed at first—surely blessings would come after
seeking, and not before? But God knows that sometimes we let our many blessings
distract us from the One who blesses. And He wants to assure us that when we
remember Him and the simple beauty of communion with Him, we will find Him
there, waiting.

Although this is not my story this is from a group I am part of, <br />
May you enjoy this as much as I have... <br />
<br />
I hope you have a little extra Jesus to share as well!<br />
<br />
<u>An Extra Baby Jesus...</u><br />
<br />
<br />
About a week before Christmas a family bought a new nativity scene.
When they unpacked it they found 2 figures of the baby Jesus. "Someone
must have packed this wrong," the mother said, counting out the figures.
"We have one Joseph, one Mary, three wise men, three shepherds, two
lambs, a donkey, a cow, an angel and two babies. Oh, dear! I suppose
some set down at the store is missing a baby Jesus because we have 2."<br />
"You two run back down to the store and tell the manager that we have
an extra Jesus. Tell him to put a sign on the remaining boxes saying
that if a set is missing a baby Jesus, call 7126. Put on your warm
coats, it's freezing cold out there."<br />
<br />
The manager of the store
copied down mother's message and the next time they were in the store
they saw the cardboard sign that read, "If you're missing baby Jesus,
call 7126." All week long they waited for someone to call. Surely, they
thought, someone was missing that important figurine. Each time the
phone rang mother would say, "I'll bet that's about Jesus," but it never
was.<br />
Father tried to explain there are thousands of these
scattered over the country and the figurine could be missing from a set
in Florida or Texas or California. Those packing mistakes happen all the
time.<br />
<br />
He suggested just put the extra Jesus back in the box and forget
about it.<br />
"Put baby Jesus back in the box! What a terrible thing
to do," said the children. "Surely someone will call," mother said.
"We'll just keep the two of them together in the manger until someone
calls.<br />
When no call had come by 5:00 on Christmas Eve, mother
insisted that father "just run down to the store" to see if there were
any sets left. "You can see them right through the window, over on the
counter," she said. "If they are all gone, I'll know someone is bound to
call tonight."<br /> "Run down to the store?" father thundered. "It's 15 below zero out there!"<br />
"Oh, Daddy, we'll go with you," Tommy and Mary began to put on their
coats. Father gave a long sigh and headed for the front closet. "I can't
believe I'm doing this," he muttered. Tommy and Mary ran ahead as
father reluctantly walked out in the cold. Mary got to the store first
and pressed her nose up to the store window. "They're all gone, Daddy,"
she shouted. "Every set must be sold."<br /> "Hooray," Tommy said. "The mystery will now be solved tonight!"<br />
<br />
<br />
Father heard the news still a half block away and immediately turned on
his heel and headed back home. When they got back into the house they
noticed that mother was gone and so was the extra baby Jesus figurine.
"Someone must have called and she went out to deliver the figurine," my
father reasoned, pulling off his boots. "You kids get ready for bed
while I wrap mother's present."<br />
Then the phone rang. Father
yelled "answer the phone and tell 'em we found a home for the baby
Jesus." But it was mother calling with instructions for us to come to
205 Chestnut Street immediately, and bring three blankets, a box of
cookies and some milk. "Now what has she gotten us into?" my father
groaned as we bundled up again. "205 Chestnut. Why that's across town.
Wrap that milk up good in the blankets or it will turn to ice before we
get there. Why can't we all just get on with Christmas? It's probably 20
below out there now. And the wind is picking up. Of all the crazy
things to do on a night like this."<br />
<br />
When they got to the house at
205 Chestnut Street it was the darkest one on the block. Only one tiny
light burned in the living room and, the moment we set foot on the porch
steps, my mother opened the door and shouted, "They're here, Oh thank
God you got here, Ray! You kids take those blankets into the living room
and wrap up the little ones on the couch. I'll take the milk and
cookies."<br /> "Would you mind telling me what is going on, Ethel?" my
father asked. "We have just walked through below zero weather with the
wind in our faces all the way."<br /> "Never mind all that now," my mother
interrupted. "There isn't any heat in this house and this young mother
is so upset she doesn't know what to do. Her husband walked out on her
and those poor little children will have a very bleak Christmas, so
don't you complain. I told her you could fix that oil furnace in a
jiffy."<br /><br />
My mother strode off to the kitchen to warm the milk while
my brother and I wrapped up the five little children who were huddled
together on the couch. The children's mother explained to my father that
her husband had run off, taking bedding, clothing, and almost every
piece of furniture, but she had been doing all right until the furnace
broke down.<br />
"I been doin' washin' and ironin' for people and
cleanin' the five and dime," she said. "I saw your number every day
there, on those boxes on the counter. When the furnace went out, that
number kept going' through my mind. 7162...7162. Said on the box that if
a person was missin' Jesus, they should call you. That's how I knew you
were good Christian people, willin' to help folks. I figured that maybe
you would help me, too. So I stopped at the grocery store tonight and I
called your misses. I'm not missin' Jesus, mister, because I sure love
the Lord. But I am missin' heat. I have no money to fix that furnace."<br />
<br />
"Okay, Okay," said father. "You've come to the right place. Now let's
see. You've got a little oil burner over there in the dining room.
Shouldn't be too hard to fix. Probably just a clogged flue. I'll look it
over, see what it needs."<br /><br />
Mother came into the living room carrying
a plate of cookies and warm milk. As she set the cups down on the
coffee table, I noticed the figure of baby Jesus lying in the center of
the table. It was the only sign of Christmas in the house. The children
stared wide-eyed with wonder at the plate of cookies my mother set
before them.<br /><br />
Father finally got the oil burner working but said,
"You need more oil. I'll make a few calls tonight and get some oil. Yes
sir, you came to the right place", father grinned.<br />
<br />
On the way
home father did not complain about the cold weather and had barely set
foot inside the door when he was on the phone. "Ed, hey, how are ya,
Ed?"<br /> "Yes, Merry Christmas to you, too. Say Ed, we have kind of an
unusual situation here. I know you've got that pick-up truck. Do you
still have some oil in that barrel on your truck? You do?"<br /><br />
By this
time the rest of the family were pulling clothes out of their closets
and toys off of their shelves. It was long after their bedtime when they
were wrapping gifts. The pickup came. On it were chairs, three lamps,
blankets and gifts. Even though it was 30 below, father let them ride
along in the back of the truck. No one ever did call about the missing
figure in the nativity set, but as I grow older<br />
<br />
I realize that it wasn't
a packing mistake at all.<br />
<br />
Jesus saves, that's what He does.<br />

Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses,
let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily
entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, 2
fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the
joy set before him he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat
down at the right hand of the throne of God. 3 Consider him who endured

Our Tiny Turkey for 3 is just headed into the
oven .. but the most important part of the dinner is complete .. I made
my Grandma's delicious Chocolate Cream pie with graham cracker crust
this morning and it's in the fridge chillin'. So far it's just been a
lovely relaxing day here for us which I am so grateful and thankful for.
I hope you've all had a beautiful day too be it with family or friends

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I must admit I reminisce about the past more often than maybe I ought to. I find the older I grow my mind reaches back to the memories of my yesteryears. And as I've sat sick in bed and on the couch the last few days too exhausted feeling to do more than make it to the kitchen or the bathroom .. I've found myself remembering back to a simpler time that I thoroughly enjoyed.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And one of those memories which I've shared on many occassions is singing hymns in Church growing up. As a young girl I found them endearing and of all the music I have ever encountered in my life .. Hymns have always stuck with me. I think it's because words are very important to me. Words can make or break, Can encourage or discourage, enlighten, empower, words can be full of passion, empathy, understanding, rejoicing ....and so on .. Words are powerful...</div>

For me Hymns have great meaning wrapped in them. They speak truth.. and carry a simple straight forward heartfelt message. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
When we all get to Heaven .. I can hear the entire congregation belting this one out on Sunday morning .. it didn't matter what your age this one song brought everyone to their feet, bellowing out the words and shouting out at the end "V - I - C - T - O - R - Y" .. Each person had the joy in their heart that one day that one special day when they left this earth and entered in to heaven that it would be without a doubt a day of rejoicing in heaven. .. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
One day we'll all rejoice together ...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In the meantime I'll rejoice here thinking about the day I get to meet Jesus face to face .. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For now I'll enjoy the life he has blessed me with here, The gifts he has bestowed on me, The blessings he has so generously given me, The lessons he has taught me, and how thankful I am to know him as my sweet saviour.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
May you all have a beautiful and Blessed Sunday and week ahead.. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
May our prayer this week be: </div>

( lyrics from another song)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<strong> Make me a servant, Humble and meek,</strong><br /><strong> Lord, let me lift up those who are weak,</strong><br /><strong> And may the prayer of my heart always be:</strong><br /><strong> Make me a servant today.</strong><br />

After a long hard several weeks of work toward preparing for the Christmas Open House at The Vintage Peddler .. today I am taking a much needed day of rest. And Oh how my body is appreciating it.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This weekend was the Christmas Open house at The Vintage Peddler and Abbey and I decked our shop space out with lot's of Christmas Cheer. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We started last Tuesday on the top of the portico above our shop space creating an "Old Fashioned Christmas" display ... From our very vintage southern Velvet and tulle dress.. embellished with Rhinestones and Camillias ... I found this beauty a few years back in a small town antique mall hiding on a clothing rack tucked in with some polyester 70's beauties.. </div>

Some Greenery, Lights, bulbs, of course a light up snowman ..and my 1960's Cellophane Christmas tree that I found at a thrift store a few years back .. I see the small cellophane trees occasionally but this 5 footer is a rarity .. I love the old fashioned sticky style branches it has... </div>

Even Petunia I mean Bernard .. you see her I mean his name had to have a change ... I brought this guy home a few weeks back and had immediately began referring to my find as I was loading it in my car as Petunia .. My mom decided to tell me that it was a he and not a she which I figured but I just liked calling it Petunia well we couldn't have that so after he was decked out in his lighted garland and bulbs and ready for Christmas I changed his name to Bernard ... He's keeping watch over the aisle way and the cash register ... </div>

<strong>Cherish Today</strong><br />

<strong>Today’s Truth</strong><br />
<em>The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full (<a href="http://www.crosswalkmail.com/vfhjvmfgjrjnfygtnkbzqndqfmnypbbyrhfqvvtmrfgpgry_rlrgrlcjnlvrpcgvlkwnjjj.html?a=Girlfriends+in+God&b=Girlfriends+in+God&c=2945170&d=15837234b3deec1dd0825a47973dd0c1&e=529103962" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">John 10:10</a>, NIV).</em><br />
<strong>Friend to Friend</strong><br />
In April, I celebrated my 69<sup>th</sup> birthday! Honestly, I didn’t
think I would live this long. Seriously! Where have the years gone? It
seems every day of life has been jam-packed full of both wonderful and
horrible things I wondered if I would survive and yet, here I am, going
strong and wondering why there always seems to be some kind of
helicopter still landing in my life.<br />
<br />
<br />
I have some advice for you, girlfriend. If you are a young woman, it
really is true that you should cherish every day and every moment with
your friends and family because the older you get, the quicker the days
fly by. I look at my children who are married and having children of
their own and wonder where all of those years went. How did this happen?<br />
<br />
<br />
If you are an older woman, take a deep breath and celebrate the fact
that you are breathing. If you are alive, I believe God has a purpose
and plan for your life. Give yourself a pat on the back for your
survival skills. Take a few moments to reflect on your life and don’t
get hung up on what might have been. Celebrate what is and what will be.<br />
<br />
<br />
I have discovered some wonderful advantages to growing older and have
learned some valuable lessons along the way. Each chapter of life seems
to grow more exciting and I keep wondering when that “slow down” thing
is going to kick in. I am no longer overly concerned with a lot of
things that once kept me awake at night. There is great freedom in
having paid a lot of “life dues” because I have already been there, done
that and don’t really care about getting the T-shirt.<br />
<br />
<br />
I can say with authority that you probably will live through that
crisis you think will be the death of you. What defines you today may
very well seem ridiculous in ten years or even ten days. Stupidity will
give way to wisdom learned the hard way. I now give myself permission to
do or not do things I once would have felt compelled to do simply
because it was someone’s ridiculous expectation … not God’s plan. My
audience has certainly changed over the years from the people who love
to leer at me through the glass bowl in which I live to running the race
of life for an audience of One.<br />
Yes, there are moments when I have made a frenzied and desperate
attempt to stay young. But then, why would I want to do that? There are
many years of my life I really do not want to revisit and there is so
much of my life now that I love. During one of those youth seeking
moments, I came across the following list of ways to stay young and
found it quite interesting.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
How to Stay Young<br />
1. Throw out non-essential numbers such as your age, weight and height.<br />
2. Keep only cheerful friends. The grouches pull you down. If you
really need a grouch, there are probably family members to fill that
need.<br />
3. Keep learning. Learn more about the computer, crafts, gardening, whatever. Just never let the brain idle.<br />
4. Enjoy the simple things. When the children are young, that is all
you can afford. When they are in college that is all you can afford.
When they are grown, and you are on retirement, that is all you can
afford.<br />
5. Laugh often, long and loud. Laugh until you gasp for breath. Laugh
so much that you can be tracked in the store by your distinctive
laughter.<br />
6. The tears happen. Endure, grieve, and move on. The only person that is with us our entire life is ourselves.<br />

</a>
</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
</div>
7. Surround yourself with what you love, whether it is family, pets,
keepsakes, music, plants, hobbies or whatever. Your home is your refuge.<br />
8. Cherish your health. If it is good, preserve it. If it is unstable,
improve it. If it is beyond what you can improve, get help.<br />
9. Don't take guilt trips. Go to the mall, the next county, a foreign country - but not guilt.<br />
10. Tell the people you love how much you love them every chance you get. Never assume they know.<br />
11. Don't worry about things you cannot change or do anything about. Accept them and move on.<br />
12. Read more and dust less.<br />
13. Whenever possible, life should be a pattern of experiences to
savor, not to endure. Recognize these moments now and cherish them.<br />
14. Do not "save" anything. Use your good china and crystal for every
special event such as losing a pound, getting the sink unstopped, or the
next blossom of flowers you see.<br />
16. Wear your best outfit and perfume to the market.<br />
17. "Someday" and "one of these days" should vanish from your
vocabulary. If it is worth seeing or hearing or doing, go and see or
hear or do it now.<br />
What about you? Are you living each day to the fullest? Jesus is all about living an <a href="http://www.crosswalkmail.com/thpmzjlcmwmklpcgkbfrdksdljkphffpwvldzzgjwlchclz_rlrgrlcjnlvrpcgvlkwnjjj.html?a=Girlfriends+in+God&b=Girlfriends+in+God&c=2945170&d=15837234b3deec1dd0825a47973dd0c1&e=529103962" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">abundant life</a>
in the here and now … whatever stage of life that may be for you. Jesus
came so that we can live abundantly and eternally. Eternity began the
moment you accepted Him as your Lord and Savior. Life is not measured by
the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath
away.<br />
<strong>Let’s Pray</strong><br />
<br />
Father, I want to live life to the fullest. I want everything You have
for me and don’t want to miss a single blessing or trial that is for my
good. Please help me keep my eyes on You and celebrate every day and all
that it holds. I trust You, Lord, to work all things together for my
good and Your glory.<br />
<br />
In Jesus’ Name,<br />
<br /><div>
Amen.</div>

Good Sunday Morning. I pray your day is a blessed one .. I pray your week ahead is full of God's abundant love showering you. I pray that if you're weary you let him carry you, I pray if you're tired of mind you let him take care of all the worries that have been piling up making you feel overwhelmed. Life is demanding, tiring, exhausting at times.. sometimes of our own creation and other times simply it's just life events that unfold each day around us. Hand it all over to God right now. Let him carry your cares, your worries, your tiredness, exhaustion, illness, .. some things in life won't change immediately .. but the way we react or even see them can if only we let the Lord be part of them . Today and each day this coming week let him carry you in his arms ...<br />
<br />
Isaiah 40:28-31 <br />Do you not know? Have you not heard? The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He will not grow tired or weary, and his understanding no one can fathom. He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak. Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.<br />

<br />
AMEN !!!!<br />

TRUTH ! In the last 6 months I can attest to this being so true . I
had been praying about a situation since fall of last year and asking
the Lord to give me wisdom and show me the direction he knew was best ..
that answer didn't come until March of this year and he sent it through
a sequence of unforeseen events and through someone I had never met.
There was no denying the answer it was so amazing in how it came wrapped
to me in a beautiful package only he could have wrapp<span class="text_exposed_show">ed.
Don't give up sometimes the wait is long but keep praying and keep
waiting he will reveal his answer in his perfect time ... </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Well I hope your Summer is off to a wonderful start. It's another hot day here .. the heat has officially arrived.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Well they say summer is about making memories and we made our own funny memory last night .. Abbey had been wanting to get out and see some fireflies .. well I went to take Flossie out and there were a bunch around a pine tree so I told her to come out and look this sparked the idea we would go out on a night drive in the country to see the fields and trees alight .. so we headed out and drove for near an hour down back roads. I think we saw about 10 of them total LOL..Yep qute the memory ! So I've come to the conclusion today that our pine tree is firefly central because there were about 30 of them buzzing it before we left ...it seriously looked like a lit up Christmas tree with all those white flickering lights .. and several fireflies were still there when we got back .. I think we failed to get the memo that that pine tree was having a summer firefly party last night. Here's to Summer Memory Making ! </div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Well keeping shop is always a lot of work .. from finding antique and vintage goods that you love and hope other will love.. to cleaning, tagging, bookkeeping, hauling, and decorating and I'm sure I left a few other things out .. it's not all fun and games. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Over my 20 + yrs of selling vintage and hand made's I can't tell you how many times I have run into gals that say they are going to get shop space because it looks like so much fun .. Well it is fun but there's a whole lot more to it than fun. It's a never ending daily job that's a lot of work and if you sell online too like I do .. my hours are all day every day .. the door doesn't close at 5 .. cause all Y'all .. get home from work or the gym or pickin' up the kids and then need to ask questions or want quick shipping and there I am at 9 at night wrapping up some goodies to get them out quick so I can make all Y'all Happy ! .. And that's my pleasure.. no complaints here .. I love what I do .. and wouldn't want to do anything else .. but just sharing that it's a full time job and it's not always fun .. most the time but it has it's moments when you just look and thing what am I doing ? </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Well I am having so much fun and I've got lots of work to go with that fun ... with my new shop space at <a href="https://www.facebook.com/TheVintagePeddler/" target="_blank">The Vintage Peddler.</a> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In years past I've always had big spaces like 12 x 14 etc .. that's a lot of space to fill and keep filled. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This new shop space is 4 ft deep x 12 ft long .. I wondered how I wold like having a shallow long space since I've never worked with those dimensions before .. well I'm loving it .. and Now that I said that about the dimensions it's come to mind that Abbey and I used to do Glitterfest long ago and we set up on 8 foot tables and then went up so this is sorta similar and I loved the challenge Glitterfest was so that's probably why I'm loving this space ..</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Anyhow I'm just jibber jabbering on about a whole lot of nothing .. I wanted to share with y'all that this last weekend my shop space got it's first revamp since opening it. I was so blessed to sell my big cupboard and with that sold It opened the door for me to add a few more cupboards and lots of new vintagey goodness .. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

So here it is Enjoy ..</div>

Sweet Magnolias Farmhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05681270114340786635noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5207757245973773748.post-23840020101830660912019-06-17T21:24:00.000-05:002019-06-17T21:24:39.162-05:00A few new Sweet Magnolias Farm Original Patriotic Flag Buntings ...<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
<br />
Well the last 10 days have been busy ones for me how about You all ? </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Lots and lots of work days for me lately. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm hoping to get a day away for a little road trip next week but we'll see how that actually pans out. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I just wanted to let you all know that I listed 3 of my Sweet Magnolias Farm Original Flag Buntings in my Etsy Shop this evening. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
These will be my last 3 for the season until next year. ...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If you're not familiar with my One of a Kind Buntings .. I hand make each one from vintage, antique, upcycled and found remnants of fabrics, laces, trims and even clothing items. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Thus each one is a One of a Kind.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
They are nice size approx 58 inches wide x 34 inches long. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
They look amazing hung and my pictures certainly don't do them justice.<br />
<br />
Perfect for your special 4th of July Celebrations ! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You can find them in my Etsy Shop <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/SoSweetMagnoliasFarm?ref=hdr_shop_menu" target="_blank">HERE</a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And Here's a peek at the 3 I have available .. Enjoy Y'all !!!</div>

<span data-offset-key="7i6ak-0-0"><span data-text="true">Good Monday morning to you all .. I'm praying for a beautiful week with lots of joy in it .. cause who doesn't like a life filled with some joyful moments... Sometimes you have to create your own joyful moments and recently I have done that. Some of you know and others may not that my parents and I share our home together. I was the young gal .. now middle aged ( did I just really say middle aged ? ) that stayed single, no children ( just fur babies) and ended up finding that my parents and I were and still are the best of friends. Anyhow recently I found a great blog through another FB page that shared about it ... some of you may know it "Sean of the South". He writes short columns/ snippets about his life, his family and those he meets along life's highways and biways .. he captures the true heart of man, the reality of life and touches on how we just need to be "KIND" ... and I have to say I love his blog and style of writing. I shared it with my mom and of course she loved it too .. so each night I read 1 page from his blog which amounts to about 10 stories .. out loud to her ..It takes me a little over 1/2 an hour or so .. it works out for both of us because I love to read be it silently to myself or out loud and as she's grown older she has a hard time reading for any long period of time .. she in fact listens to a lot of books online. I was reading aloud the other night and it dawned on me we were creating a moment, a joyful one, one neither of us will forget. That moment sorta found us but was created by a choice I made to do something I knew she would love. So when you think your to busy or to tired or to anything and you have a chance to create a moment be it with a loved one or even a total stranger .. don't pass it up. Life is very short .. it goes by so quick .. don't miss the special moments ..</span></span></div>

hope you all have had a wonderful weekend so far .. I've had a lot
going on the last 5 days and today I'm taking a little rest. I was
reading one of my devotionals this week and One profound
sentence/question really touched my heart. With all the big decisions
I've been making lately about my work and my future this was very
touching to my heart ..</em></div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I don't know about You all but I love me some Red, White and Blue ..!!! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For as many years back as I can remember 4th of July is one of my favorite times of the year .. I have no idea why that is nothing special happened to me personally that made me love it .. beyond loving what it represents.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Maybe it's because my Birthday is just a few days shy of it ? </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Or</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Maybe I just love the vibrant colors and the joy they bring to my heart. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I can remember in the 1990's as a young 20 something young woman .. wanting flag writing pens, a flag jacket, and anything Ralph Lauren bedding that was red white and blue floral. In fact I splurged and bought the RL cottage rose and flag sheets that he put out and still have them to this day .. and love them just as much as when I first got them. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I guess it's just my thing !</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Last year a sweet gal that's a client through my Etsy shop and had purchased some of my upcycled shirts emailed me a little tutorial she had found on making patriotic buntings. Well the tutorial wasn't bad but it didn't create a very permanent bunting.. So I set out to create on for this gal but wanted it to be more traditional but unique in that they are made from vintage and upcycled materials and if you have followed what I love to make over the years you'll know I love creating One of kind pieces .. so I wanted each one to be a OOAK .. so each person that purchases one and hangs knows that theirs is the only one like it .. I guess to me it just makes the piece a little bit more special .</div>

Well this year started out with a bang (Hah no pun intended but I like it) ... and I have been feverishly at my sewing table designing and sewing together buntings for the season.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here are just a few of them that have either already found homes </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
These are a true work of my heart and hands .. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My Heart: a lot of love goes into making each one and getting every detail</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
just right. From fabrics the not only compliment one another but really make the piece shine, to loving how it all comes together in the end.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My Hands: well I love the process of piecing it all together, I love the feeling of the fabrics and I love the heavy weight that makes if feel so sturdy when it's complete. </div>

Each bunting from start to finish takes about 5 to 6 hours depending on how many layers I put together how many details go into it and that big red check double ruffle at the bottom .. well that's the longest part of the process believe it or not. That's a "LOT" of yardage .. approx 14 running yards go into making that long ruffle .. to say that part is time consuming is an understatement.</div>

One of my favorite parts of making these buntings is the Blue Canton. Deciding what remnant of an old shirt, dress, or linen will make up the piece and make it stand out. This one above ... is made from shirt sleeves.. I even left the buttons on and the cuffs .. this was a bit of piecing work and figuring out how to get it all to lay just right so it looked right .. in the end it took some extra time but I really was happy with the outcome...</div>

And those Red Rosettes .. those are all handmade .. and they can get a little tricky making each one and having it lay right .. attaching it is also another step I'll admit is what i least like doing .. but that red rosette is like the icing on a cake .. it's just not cake without some good buttercream frosting and it's just not a finished bunting without the beautiful red rosette .. at least in my opinion.</div>

Oh and did I mention these are wonderfully large .. they are approx 58" wide x 34" L</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Perfect for the porch. hung from the mantle in your home since we don't use the fireplace during the summer. They look wonderful over a bed .. or are stunning on the bed or at the foot of the bed. </div>
