We're starting to get to know some of them pretty well since we have bought produce from them. And one of the local Amish men is doing most of the work on the new house. Maybe Scott can ask him about the lye and oils. (We just had 3 new Amish families move in down near the new house!!! :D)Leah T.http://ps139hemmedin.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9968516.post-67192773974316983752012-09-21T07:32:08.413-05:002012-09-21T07:32:08.413-05:00Thank you Mrs. B! Your note made me very happy. ...Thank you Mrs. B! Your note made me very happy. I got that stork embroidery runner at Salvation Army for 25cents a few years ago. Can you believe that?!<br /><br />Leah~ nope. Not the same one- I met this one at our local library. But she is super nice just the same and we DID have a marvelous time. <br /><br />We have friends out here who have all the ins and outs of buying like the Amish around here- cheap fruits, bulk foods, etc. We split a case of Lye (each 2# container cost the same as the internet but without the cost of shipping.) <br /><br />I got the oil from the local mennonite run scratch and dent where I buy bulk things (I got 5 gallons worth and Abby will take some off of my hands.) like this and wheat berries. <br /><br />If I were you, I would ask some of your many local Amish and see where they buy it from or, sometimes, they will sell it to you themselves.Rebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17983592950942904914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9968516.post-8546128581018263182012-09-20T16:17:25.024-05:002012-09-20T16:17:25.024-05:00I'm wondering if I know who that other homesch...I'm wondering if I know who that other homeschooling mama was and wishing I were close enough still for a visit. I'm sure you had a marvelous time! :)<br /><br />Do you mind sharing where you bought your oil and lye? Is it the lady in Berkshire who makes and sells soap? If so, I used to get my supplies from her, too, when we still lived close. :/ I'm trying to figure out how to get lye at a better price than I've found on the internet, shipping is pretty steep. <br /><br />I love the centerpiece, too! So perfect for this season. <br /><br />Can't wait to hear all about your BIG projects! :)Leah T.http://ps139hemmedin.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9968516.post-38229761965878280472012-09-20T15:06:46.846-05:002012-09-20T15:06:46.846-05:00Love, love, love the table decoration.

I justified myself by saying, Well. It will make a perfect CONGRATS on being ONE MONTH! gift. And who doesn't like a gift after all the gift-giving is over?! <br /><br />But now, it seems I missed that milestone too! I am SUCH a loser. Thankfully, his handmade gift is not something that can be grown out of. Maybe I will get it to him for a Cograts You Are ONE! gift. <br /><br />(totally pathetic.) <br />Rebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17983592950942904914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9968516.post-40255611364976234372012-09-19T21:40:08.852-05:002012-09-19T21:40:08.852-05:00You still got a good bit done.

(I will not be jealous of social interaction, I will not be jealous of social interaction, I will not...)<br /><br />I'm waiting on the last batch of spaghetti sauce to process- the pot still has to come up to a boil and then 45 loooong minutes.<br />So to pass the time, I'm ironing, making B.'s lunch, and sniffing/snuggling/kissing my sweet baby who had the nerve to be 4 weeks old today.<br /><br />Rest well M'Dear!Bonniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01363843039604440511noreply@blogger.com
