It's been nice and quiet around here this past week, Ronen is away filming a documentary for Frontline(PBS) I'm not sure when it will be aired but I promise to let you know.
I've been working away, the Spring Collection is doing really well and I've sold lots and lots of the Posy Necklace, I just got more supplies in today so I can make more if any of you still want one, not sure how long it will last though...
So what else have I been doing? I found these vintage pillow cases on Etsy, they are the exact same pillow cases my grandma had:
I got more flowers this week, it's been so nice and sunny I can't wait for my own crop of tulips and Hyacinthia's to come up, we have lots and lots!!! but unfortunately the forecast is not very pleasant for next week and it seems it's actually going to snow again...ugh...so much for Spring in Vermont
I've been knitting a new hat, it's hard to see but it's actually one of those long sock hats that falls a little in the back, I'll post another photo when I'm done, here is the work in progress, I still want to make it longer and I need to block it so it doesn't roll on the bottom:
I've been doing lots and lots of reading, here are a few good books I read lately:
1. I re-read The Pursuit of Love and Love in a Cold Climate I love these books, the first time I read them I was in my 20's...it was a very different experience to read them now.
2. The Old Man and Me, great read!
3. The Flying Troutmans, I'm reading it now and enjoying it a lot.
4. The Three Weissmanns of Westport I took this one out of the Library, I try not to buy hard cover books anymore, it's a great read too.
What else? we watched a very interesting documentary the other day, it's called:
No Impact Man: The Documentary
At first I was a little reluctant to watch yet another documentary about "going green" but there is something about this documentary that really makes you think, it's a story about one little
family living in NYC that is making a difference, I personally totally identify with the wife and it's interesting to see how she too changes throughout the film and what she eventually "takes" from the experience ...I highly recommend watching it! you can also watch it for free if you have Netflix .

great book recommendations.. always looking for something good to read.. currently i'm reading Tolstoy's Anna Karenina.. i'm finding it a bit difficult to get but am determined to keep at it.. just finished the first 100 pages and i think it's just starting to get a bit interesting

My book club is going to read Nancy Mitford's books in a few months. Glad to know that they are worth the read. www.satisfiedsole.com
