.....productive?


i first must apologize for my lack of posting...
moving is hard and a HUGE distraction....

blogging content has been hard to come by....

but thankfully i was able to spend quality time with some blogging friends.....
 shopping for vintage treasures!
{we all agreed we were not fans of the term 'junk'}


Becky and Suzanne both commented that i seemed
calm and not stressed about the whole 'our family is moving across the country
in 3 short weeks' thing.....
boy did i fool them!

despite all the cleaning, organizing and planning
i SHOULD have been doing, i was so happy to be
doing something unrelated to moving - and oh so grateful....
for friendship.
'cause even though i am moving to the west
coast, and wish i would have met these girls
three years ago.....i know we will remain friends forever....
and i will see them again....
BLOGGING ROCKS!

 'cause the laundry i would have done, or the bathroom
that would have gotten a scrub would have been quickly
forgotten in days. 
but this day spent with new friends
introduced to me through blogging will be remembered
forever.

 productive? ~ i'd say my day was exactly that!

even the back of my car showed productivity!

Oh, and by the way, Becky did a very nice post about my
Forever*Cottage that includes some great
pictures - if you are interested in taking a peek
head here!

  3. Jill,
    I have been reading your blog for a while now and have just become a follower, love your blog! Lucky you to be going back home where your family is and all those fabulous barn sales, (BH for one) and those fab shops! Loved your MN house, your new one is lovely also. Can't wait to see what you do to it! Would love for you to visit me when you get a chance!

    P.S. Love your name now, but if you change it, my favorite is Forever After Cottage.

  6. In 48 hours...we will be wishing Kenny would sing one more song...

    *sigh*

    I can't wait. I need to get away, even if it is just for a few hours, and I am sure will all you have on your plate, you feel the same!

    Now, I want to scoop on where you girls were shopping! Were these the occasional sales in your photos?
