My Costume
By Lynn, on June 1st, 2007
I realized this morning that I misspoke miswrote yesterday about the time period represented at this craft show tomorrow. It is mid- to late-1800s. Just so you know. I had said colonial.
I realize I’ll be somewhat rebellious in my choice of costume by wearing flip-flops and short sleeves, but I’ll pretend I’m out on my own farm and have traded some farm implement for some exotic shoes from some stranger passing through.
We are not required to dress in period clothes. The docents there are, but not the sellers, so we are jazzing things up a bit at our booth by dressing up at all.
I do think that the “bonnet” is cute.
I hope to make a ton of money tomorrow!

About Lynn
I am the mother of four delightful children: a 23-year-old son, a 20-year-old son, a 17-year-old son, and a bright and bubbly 13-year-old daughter. I share an apartment home with my 17-year-old son and 13-year-old daughter. My little home on the internet is called Rose Cottage because of my love for gardening, roses, and all things romantic and Victorian. Welcome.
I'm a North Carolina girl and I love sharing North Carolina links and information. I do medical transcription from home. My hobbies include making sweet little dolls from clay who are named and have their own stories to tell. I also make old-fashioned brooches. These are for sale in my Etsy shop.
For 13 years continuously, I homeschooled some or all of our four children, but the time came that our homeschool had to be closed. It was the end of a beautiful chapter in my life. I will always be a strong supporter of homeschooling and I will continue to review books and maintain my homeschool website, The Healthy Homeschool. The Players

My Symphony
To live content with small means; to seek elegance rather than luxury, and refinement rather than fashion; to be worthy, not respectable, and wealthy, not rich; to study hard, think quietly, talk gently, act frankly; to listen to stars and birds, to babes and sages, with open heart; to bear all cheerfully, do all bravely, await occasions, hurry never. In a word, to let the spiritual, unbidden and unconscious, grow up through the common. This is to be my symphony.
William Henry Channing
1810-1884

Sow a character, reap a destiny.

You look great in the bonnet. Praying for great favor at your table tomorrow.
Theresa, thank you! I hope to do well. To make a little along the way helps me be able to stay home.

You look great– very festive!
I hope you sell a lot and enjoy the day!

Thanks, Ivy. The day went really well. I did better this time that last time, so I am getting better at display and knowing what items work where. Hoping to do even better next time! Lynn ~:-D
