Gee I went fabric shopping today and just for info I looked at where the fabric is coming from...never really paid attention before...WOW...no USA...but everywhere else...china, s korea, indonesia, I might be heading back to the antique shops and checking out some I've seen in boths to see if I can acquire more made in the USA

A lot of the pottery made in Maine uses clay from Blue Hill -- the color of the unfired clay. It fires into a light grey or tan. I like to go to the craft fairs every year. I get all my serving dishes from local potters. They add so much to the beauty of the table.

Mim I don't know why but I've had a passion for all things 'Maine' for as long as I can remember:roll: In fact I just received a windbell made in Maine from a little shop over here called the Bluebery Store, it's full of all things American. Sue (aka rummage) x ;) |

Hi everyone:
I am sorry that I have not been on the board for a little while. My brother has cancer and I have been going back and forth to Jacksonville to spend as much time with him as I can and to help out my sister-in-law who is exhausted. This past Sunday September 4th they had to take him to Hospice. I do not want him left alone at all, so I am staying with him in the room all night. We don’t know how long he has but I will be with him as long as it takes. I brought my laptop with me and finally got organized enough to use it. I will check in as much as I can. GOD bless you all!! Blessings! Carole |
Carol, I am so sorry. You will be blessed by staying with your brother. My prayers are with you all

I'm sorry to hear about your brother. I too will be praying for all of you as you go through what is ahead. It is good you can go to stay with him.
|
I am so lucky to have many friends that live all over the world, I have in my collection fabric from, Myanmar, (Burma), Philippines, Israel, Norway, Germany, and Uganda. Can't wait to find just the right pattern.
|
sorry for your troubles,know you are in my prayers.
