Looking for some great trash to treasure ideas? Need a little colorful, budget-friendly boost around the house or yard? Check out these great ideas from the Dirt Diva, via the recent County Fair! How about a little palette art? Or a fancy chandelier? Colorful planters, anyone? How about something for the yard? There’s nothing pink paint can’t improve!

Daily Operations and Capital Improvements

Walking in High Cotton Posted on September 19, 2010 by Jamie OliverSeptember 20, 2010 1

The County Fair is this week and as I’ve been writing, The Lowe Farm has an exhibit about heritage breed livestock set up along with a table full of sheep-y goodies like raw wool, roving, and yarn.  We’ve also added some shepherd tools like an ear tagger, tail bander, and lamb scale.   The animals are always popular. So is the hand sanitizer. I’m telling you, people are addicted to that stuff.  When they see it on the table, they take a squirt just because they’re walking by.  As if … Continue Reading…

So, we’re here.  At the County Fair.  Surrounded by smelly animals and 10 different PA systems all blaring different music.  Each year we set up an educational display about heritage breed livestock and, well, raising livestock in general.  (There’s a lot of farming in our area, but not much livestock anymore–especially sheep.) And we really enjoy it.  It’s fun to meet people, see the kids loving the animals, see the parents loving the camera-ready moments of the kids loving the animals, and get the chance to explain things like horns … Continue Reading…

This is Post 101! 101! Can you believe that I’ve already written 100 posts?!  Who knew I had so much to say about my own life?  (If you know me well then I didn’t mean you, silly.  Of course you know I can talk a lot about a lot of nothing!) I mentioned last week that I’ve been on quite a crafty roll lately.  It has continued.  Oh, it has continued.  And today I’m posting a couple of recent cards with a bit of a style change for me.  I … Continue Reading…
