Sorry I haven't posted but I've been busy decking the halls for Christmas at the ol' Countryfolk homestead!
I'll be sure to post photos when I'm done.
I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving.
As hard as life can be sometimes, we all have so much to be thankful for.
Have a terrific weekend, everyone!
Be merry!!

for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up.

Do good and don't give up.
Happy Thanksgiving, Everyone!!
Remember to keep your family traditions going. Your children and grandchildren will be forever grateful.

I can sum it up in one word.
Life.
♥
"Fourscore and seven years ago our fathers brought forth, upon this continent, a new nation, conceived in liberty and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.
Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battlefield of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of it, as a final resting place for those who died here, that the nation might live. This we may, in all propriety do. But in a larger sense, we cannot dedicate, we cannot consecrate, we cannot hallow, this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have hallowed it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here; while it can never forget what they did here.
It is rather for us the living, we here be dedicated to the great task remaining before us—that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they here gave the last full measure of devotion—that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain, that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom, and that government of the people, by the people, for the people shall not perish from the earth."
~Abraham Lincoln
Delivered November 19, 1863, Gettysburg, Pennsylvania.

Guess what??
ROAD TRIP!
I found another Craigslist treasure!
I've been searching for one of "these" for quite some time and it's in excellent condition.
This is all I'm going to show you for now.
As you can see it has my three favorite colors, red white and blue!
I'll show it to you after I pick it up.
Man, I just pray it fits in my Jeep.
Worse case scenario, I carry it home on my back.
Don't think I won't do it.

YaY!!

C'mon. I know some of you will get this.

But I love fabrics that look like something my great grandma would have had in her home.
Take this for example.
I've been hanging on to this 12" scrap of upholstery fabric for a very long time.
I fell in love with this beautiful tapestry pattern back in the early 90's when I walked into an old-timer's fabric store.
I loved it so much I had my dining room chairs which are now long gone (as is the old-timer) reupholstered with it.
I have searched the internet hoping I could find this fabric again. But to no avail.
I won't give up though.
If I could find those 1970's colonial stencils for my old milk can, there's hope I can find this fabric again.
Remember these fellas??
Happy Hump Day!
