Fairies and Friends

By admin, on June 8th, 2010

Yes, it’s the fairies and friends post! (Whatever that is.)

Into the shop this morning went a new brooch pin, adorned with an image from Edmund Dulac. It’s from a fairy print, of course.

There. We have the fairy part of this post covered.

For the friends part, I know I’ve not yet shared a picture of those of us who met up at the North Carolina Homeschool Conference and got supper at the Mellow Mushroom. From left to right, it’s me, Hollie, Rebecca, Adele, Leslie, Angela, Bo, and Jackie. What fun we had! Some of these ladies I see regularly in person, and some I have known for years on line (through Five In A Row) and finally had the privilege to meet!

The Mellow Mushroom was unbelievably packed and there were some who couldn’t wait it out. We were sorry to see them have to leave! A few of us ended up ordering takeout from the MM and going back to the hotel and eating at two large, quiet tables in the lobby. It was a wonderful place to talk and carry on about conference and homeschooling stuff!

Now. On another “friends” note…

It wasn’t a field trip or a co-op, but as sort of a last outing of the school year, our homeschool group met to share a potluck lunch and say goodbye to one of our families who is moving away. Oh how they will be missed! It was a wonderful (if bittersweet) time. If you can’t tell from the kids’ red faces, it was hot! It did not, however, slow the children down! This is only a small fraction of the children who were actually there that day.

I am puttering around today, working in the garden, trying to get supper together (I must share my notecards soon), making more pins, cleaning a bit and just enjoying a day off.

I hope you are having a wonderful day!
