3 little pigs came to visit...


Let me tell you a story...

It was a warm Spring day and the cutest little pigs stopped by the Barn.


I think they were dressed in their fanciest outfits.
They were trying to put on a good impression for their outing.


I found them checking out all sorts of things ....


Is this a house they would like?
It is the right size...


No, I guess not...


they met others... hard workers at the Barn...


they noticed the little guys are at work constantly...


they discussed the Barn amongst the beautiful grouping of flowers... were they thought they were hidden from sight...


yes, it was decided that the barn was fresh and beautiful...


the surroundings made them feel at ease and relaxed....
they wanted these things for their own home



It was then decided.
They would not stay, BUT they would tell their friends AND definitely return another day.




The Spring ~ 3rd issue of Jeanne d'Arc Living has arrived and I am getting them to the post office as fast as I can. YOU are going to love this issue!!!  I think when I checked this morning we had one more copy available online and a few issues at the Barn for my local customers.

This Friday is the last day of March Madness at the Barn.

Happy Wednesday.

my best kept secrets ...


Good Morning and Happy Spring.

It is odd that it is officially Spring.
 I thought I was ahead of schedule, getting so much done... before it was "spring."  You know what I mean? Now that it really is officially Spring.... I am feeling behind schedule again....
Always so much to do.

Anyway, I wanted to share with you my best kept secrets at the Barn.
My little bits of perfection, soft and cozy.
It isn't often that we have the softness at the Barn.


I'm not showing you because I want them to sell.
Oh h--- no.
Just the opposite. I am envisioning Christmas vignettes....

Right now I love the black and white bunnies with the red tulips... Easter table perhaps???

And then there is this fabulous metal side table...



These pin cushion boards with velvet ribbon will not stick around long....

Here is my next beauty

oh, how I love her....
soft and cozy and Perfect for my old Barn.
or maybe for my new studio...








so Fun.



I wish you were here...
Sales have been out of this world, so momma's happy.

blooming....


Things are blooming.

We've had some warm weather and some rain.... usually, we still have 3 - 4 feet of snow... so now with this rain the grass is turning green, the trees all have big buds and the little guys are blooming. !!








We are happy up here in Minnesota.
