*****************See You This Weekend?******************

Hi Everyone!  Hope you'll be able to make it down to the farm this weekend!  Looking like it's going to be lovely weather- maybe the heat is finally ready to be gone!  We can only hope!  This has been a long, hot rainy summer, to be sure!  The alpacas would love to meet and greet you, and Jack will be ready to give tours of the farm- just let us know if you'd like to participate.  We'll have our standard hours, with the exception of Saturday morning.  We'll be opening a bit later on Saturday, as the "no visit" rule at assisted living facilities has been lifted.  I'm excited to say that we'll be able to hang out with my cousin, Mary, Saturday morning!  Friday at the Farm, tomorrow, will be the usual casual format- bring your current project(s)- be they knitting, crocheting, rug hooking, spinning, weaving- to hang out.  And yes, we do socially distance!  So here's the schedule for the weekend!  Perhaps we'll see you somewhere along the way!

Friday at the Farm/ Farm Shop- 9/18- 1-5 pm
Farm Shop- Saturday, 9/19- 11:30- 5 pm
Farm Shop- Sunday, 9/20- noon- 4 pm

                                      ******************A Piece of Paradise******************

We're happy to announce that our lovely condo on Bouchelle Island, New Smyrna Beach, will once again be available for the upcoming winter season.  Fully furnished, a 2/2 with all amenities and utilities included- internet, 2 swimming pools, 2 tennis courts, clubhouse, library, chip and putt golf course. and much more, the condo complex is situated on the Intracoastal Waterway and is just a 3 minute drive to the ocean, once of the most beautiful beaches in the area.  Please call, text or email me if you might be interested in more details!  Thanks!

                               *******************Masks and Dryer Balls!!******************

I've made +/- 400 masks since April!  I so enjoy picking out great fabrics- all new 100% cotton in delightful patterns.  The fabric is folded in half and I place a piece of silk gauze in between as the filter.  They only cost $5/each, and I'm happy to let you choose from my fabrics, or you can bring fabric of your own for me to stitch up.  From the order placement, turnaround time is usually 3 days and they are ready for you to pick up or for me to mail.

I started making dryer balls last year.  I use sheep or alpaca roving for the balls.  When they have been felted, I then wrap colored roving- red, purple, or yellow- to denote the essential oil scents with which I infuse them- rose, lavender, or lemongrass.  They last forever (unless your dog gets hold of one!!  There's a story there!)- 3 to a dryer load is great, and they replace the chemically scented dryer sheets, but do so much more!

                                  ******************** Farm Tours!***********************

Our alpacas, chickens, and goats, as well as Callie, the barn cat, would love for you to visit them!  We try  to schedule visits within our shop hours, but, of course, just call if those hours don't work for you!  We've had an unbelievably rainy summer, but that seems to have passed now, so the pastures are just about dry, enabling you to get to see the alpacas up close and personal!  I do hope you'll schedule a visit soon!  We are just 12 miles south of New Smyrna Beach and 12 miles north of Mims!  AW


                                      

  Stay safe!  Stay strong!
