Hi All! I'm Julie, the so-called leader of a new Farmgirl Chapter named Salvage Sisters. I'll report on our first meeting and introduce members--after our first meeting!
Disclaimer: My daughter is Annie T, Farmgirl Wannabe Extraordinaire, who has shown me that the best gift I could have given her was a needle and thread. She was my very best project ever!
I live on a sort of accidental farmlet: one half acre and a 75-year-old bungalow. Annie and I had to buy this particular house so she could keep her goats in the back yard. Then she up and married. (You get the picture--I wonder how many of you still have your kids' 4-H projects grazing in your back yards?) Most of my energies have gone into fixing up the house, but now I'm starting to plan the garden...big plans! I discuss them regularly with the three cats.
My free-range Banties and Silkie chickens are even welcome at (some of) the neighbors, because they have almost eliminated earwigs and grasshoppers in our yards. A few years ago, we even sold eggs at the Gardeners Market and made enough $$ to buy a bag of scratch on the way home. Perfect.
I belong to a small group of friends who like to re-use old building materials--hence the Salvage Sisters (and Brother Pete). I also am sewing again, after a very long time of just talking about it. I'm looking forward to sharing and learning with the rest of you.
This Farmgirl Connection is just what I need. Thank you. |

HI Julie ! I am a salvager as well. I have three old paned windows waiting for their new home somewhere in the flower garden come spring.

Yo, Babe!
First of all, he's not 'Pete,' he's officially 'the Perfessor' on these pages. :-)
You maniac. Wait 'til I finish my barn and post the pictures therefrom (is that an official English word, o ms. ma in english?) You'll be deluged with requests for five-panel doors! Are you sure you WANT so much room in your new garage?
You rock,
Tabitha |
