Happy Monday Friends. 

Are you having a good start to your week? I don’t know what was going on last night, but we didn’t sleep well at all and woke up very tired. The day was starting out in a bumbling way in a direction that didn’t seem promising and I thought “redo! let’s start this day over, shall we?” We’re moving and grooving now. I guess the fog of tiredness started lifting. A good night sleep tonight will work wonders for us all, I think. 

We went to the hardware store today to get parts for a roof rack Jeff is building for our car so we can transport our booth to market. There was a little rake on sale and Jeff surprised Bracken with a rake of his very own. (He’s always grabbing our giant rakes and struggling with them when he uses them.) When we got home Bracken went straight to the yard with it, he was so excited. It started raining pouring and I wanted to come inside. You can imagine Bracken wasn’t happy about that. Really wanting to go inside, I suggested he bring his new rake indoors. He is now raking our living room floor.

I wanted to let you all know about a giveaway we are doing today on Wild Armadillos blog. Amanda and Dustin are the wondrous toymakers behind Armadillo Dreams and I’ve written about them here before quite a few times. I’ve been so grateful to have them for a sponsor on my blog and have enjoyed getting to know their lovely family better all the time. For the giveaway, we are offering a set of 5 yew wood buttons and one magical healing salve. I invite you to enter the giveaway here.

(edited to add: there’s a  coupon code for 15% off in both of our shops, over there too.)
