From my neighbor. She got them at the Farmer’s Market today. I’d given some knitting help. What a gorgeous autumn bouquet. I put the flowers in my vintage hammered aluminum pitcher.
Another gift from the neighbor who had leftovers from a party.
I sautéed them in a bit of olive oil.
Stored them in a glass jar in the fridge overnight.
The next day I sautéed some baby Bella mushrooms and thin chicken breasts which I cut into strips. Got out the cast iron skillet for the flour tortillas! Delicious.
I stitched this Little Red Schoolhouse Paragon Crewel Embroidery Kit 0624 in the late 1970’s.
My memory is I got the kit by sending in Campbell’s Soup labels.
My crewel-embroidery-on-linen period.
Someone is selling a completed one for $124. Framed.
But you can still buy this vintage kit on Etsy or EBay for anywhere from $12 to $40

And texted to me. A Google image search told us the name of the sculpture and artist. Jerzy Kedziora
Boy with Kite “…part of the “Suspension: Balancing Art, Nature, and Culture” series by Polish artist Jerzy Kedziora…Schiller Park in the German Village neighborhood of Columbus, Ohio”
Note: Just added this little poem shared by Judy Kindergarten teacher extraordinaire.
There was a boy, A tiny mite, Who tried to fly A mighty kite But then at last It came to pass Both boy and kite flew out of sight!
One of my favorite kindergarten poems❤️ Judy
I read it every year to my kindergarten class. Then each child had to predict what happened to the boy and /or draw a picture or how do you think his mother felt when she saw him? One of the best pictures was Superman saved him!!! We read it every March! We painted kites and made pattern kite tails. Oh how I miss those days!! Judy S
My neighbor had some lovely extra items from a party she hosted. She brought them to our house. We enjoyed sampling the cheeses, accompanied by red grapes, pepper strips and celery sticks she gifted us.
Thank you Kelly.
I started looking up cheese and saw that many people can’t eat hard cheeses and some get migraines and cheese can cause painful indigestion for others. Lactose intolerance affects some people, too. Ouch.
I like cheese and probably consume too much of it as I find it satisfying and delicious. But it has high fat content!
