Isn’t Helle’s flower wreath one of the most
Charming creations you’ve seen all week?

If you are an animal lover or a farm girl,
You will love this delightful article and pictorial featuring
Erin’s family of 8 (soon to be 11) goats!
I thought Abigal – the herd queen – was particularly adorable!
Joy’s Jots Shots – Old Glory Star Pillow
Who can resist a pretty, patriotic pillow?
Especially one inspired by a calendar!

Wouldn’t you be delighted to receive
Trish’s pretty crocheted baby blanket as a gift?

I like the idea of Inspiration Monday.
Monday’s often get the short end of the stick
But they are fraught with potential!
