Yesterday was a wonderful day!
Elyse and her sister visited my shop.
They showed up just as I was turning on the lights and we had a really fun visit.
This is one of her beautiful soup can pencil holders. It is sitting out on my desk as I type this!

Elyse and her sister.In real life, they are in much sharper focus!
Elyse & me.When Elyse posts her pictures at cottage, they may be in better focus. She has a new camera and I forgot to turn my flash on.
After Elyse left to visit Vintage Lizzie, down the road, I had other delightful people in. It was like a ray of appreciation came in with Elyse and her sister and brightened up everyone who stopped by -- another sister duo from NJ and Washington state and a mom & daughter from around the corner. It was really fun to spend the day in the shop with like minded women who enjoyed my taste and were friendly.
Knowing the sun would be out, and I had linens to clean & sun bleach, I left a load in the washing machine to soak overnight. This morning I wiped the clothesline clean -- I do not know how a thin piece of plastic covered wire can get so dirty. 45 minutes, a bleach soaked rag & some coriander scented all purpose clearer later, I could hang out these pretties.
A square piece to put over one's bed pillow.
Just beyond the clothes line are plants that always remind me of Autumn.
Bittersweet.
They are invasive plants in the northeast and my son has worked hard to eradicate them.
Sorry Ter, they are back.

Your linens are so yummy hanging on that line in the sunshine!!! I drove past your shop and you were open (4:45pm-ish) but I had a carful of hayriders. One of these days I WILL make it into your shop. I used to buy fabric from Urbangardens wayyyy back in my pillowmaking days... I see she is in business with Vintage Lizzie! Small world!

Looks like you had fun with your visitors. Know what you mean about needing to wash the clothes line before you hang the wash, those plastic lines seem to attract dirt.
I love this community of yours!
