Two summers ago, I was antique hunting in rural Ohio and thought I found a real Staffordshire Eathernware Duck, and so did the women next to me. I kind of lurked in the background while she picked it up, looked at the bottom, got out her glasses, and looked at the bottom again, and walked
Hello everyone. Now that the extreme summer, with all its problems, seems to have passed, I have returned to the computer.During my time away, I rearranged and set up more stock in the craft room and refocused my attitude to share more activities and home projects. Hopefully, I can encourage you to participate, and we
Sorry, it has been so long since I have posted anything. As others have complained., this pandemic situation is getting me down. I have to self-quarantine due to pre-existing risks, and I am getting a bit down. I am going to try and get out of myself and become more involved now. As you know,
Hi all. Today I want to share the back garden reno with the arborist’s visit. I called an arborist to look at the line of trees down the side of the house. I needed someone to address the break in the third arborvitae from the back. Remember, the one with the squirrel next and damage???
About a month ago, I told you about my return to Ohio from Ireland and the weed-infested gardens I found upon my arrival. I also explained that I had recent health issues that did not allow me to perform as usual in the spring garden. I also came back to a patio that was a

I went downstairs the other day to get something from the back workroom , and walked past the shelving set full of handmade wood boxes. Just seeing all that beautiful and hard work just sitting there, I decided it was time to get back in the shop groove. The shop closed down after Christmas last
