Ooh, what a sweet tea towel design!! And I just love Gooseberry Patch, and your blog, so thank you for hosting this lovely giveaway! :)
ReplyDeleteLet's see, I'm a baker, sewer, stay-at-home daughter who lives in the city but got her love of the south and country living from her two aunts.
If I had a day all to myself, I would read outside in the sunshine, get a special treat like an Auntie Anne's pretzel, and do a little shopping for fabric to create with.
Blessings!

ReplyDeleteHi Linda, I presently live in a rural part of Ashtabula Cty., OH. Originally I lived in a small city. I love crafts and like to try my hand at most everything. I enjoy following your blog for your recipes, inspiration, and the pictures you share with your followers. I have posted to Gooseberry Patch and love their cookbooks. This is because the recipes are usually made from items that are found on a normal pantry shelf. I've also left a post on your facebook page. I love sharing your page with my family and friends. Even my husband enjoys your pictures of your farm animals. Hope I'm lucky enough to win your towel and the cookbook. Robin robeader53@yahoo.com

Hi Linda,

We have 20 chickens, 4 dogs, 2 cats, a horse and a donkey. Our family keeps growing. We have 4 children and six grandchildren. Two grandsons are getting married this year. Our oldest granddaughter is married and has two boys. God has been good to us. Blessings, Gla

I am a sad working girl! It seems everyday something happens that makes me upset or sad or angry! Really difficult working with money hunger folks. I like coming over because you always give me encouragement. I really need it. Love ot you Linda. Your Gooseberry cookbook giveaway are wonderful! Blessings, Anne

ReplyDeleteGoing to FB for GBP! Love their site!
ReplyDeletePlease pray for Nick and Darragh. Flying from OKC tomorrow to come home. Pray they get to and from Gunnison safely too. It is in the mountains and you travel over Monarch Pass. It can be dangerous in inclement weather. Pray God steers them safely to and from their destination. Love Anne
Thanks for hosting the giveaway the towel is lovely and I love GP cookbooks. I'm a country gal and love to cook. I collect cookbooks and love trying new recipes.
ReplyDeleteHi Linda,
ReplyDeleteThat recipe book looks really yum, and the teatowel is beautiful!! Well, I am a gardening, baking type of girl who lives in the suburbs of a city. And if I had a day to myself....well at the moment every day is either working or wedding planning, but I would love a day to sleep in, enjoy coffee in the sunshine, spend a few hours gardening and then read a book for a while.
Have a great day Linda,
Selina.
Hi Linda,
ReplyDeleteI am a country girl. I work from home and I have my little chickens and dwarf goats plus cats and a dog. We have a garden and I love being outside.
Hi Linda,

Hi Linda,

Hi Linda,
ReplyDeleteI shared your giveaway page on my fb this morning. Have a great day :)
I don't use facebook, so I won't be voting on those. However, I do read your blog, and enjoy it. I am a variety of "things" right now in my life. I am a city-girl turned country, with a goal to be self-sufficient (healthy home grown and raised foods) and never ever have to worry about money.
ReplyDeleteThat tea towel is sweetness itself!
ReplyDeleteI'm looking forward to spring and am hoping hubby takes me seriously about wanting raised beds to plant my greens and favorite veggies. I was diagnosed diabetic in Jan, and have been working hard to manage this desease. Thankfully my doctor is on board with me trying just lifestyle changes rather than meds at this time...it has been going well with God's great help! Thanks for posting so much encouragement from God's Word...it really helps to focus on Him daily!
Hi, I'm an admirer of your blog, your crafts and farm. I am a momma-to nine, therefore I am also a cook and baker. I dream of being a crafter (having time to) and of living on a farm. Gods will is good and right and in truth is what I desire! Thanks for the opportunity. I don't do facebook but I would press like if I did!:)
ReplyDeleteHi Linda,
ReplyDeleteLove the party!
I'm looking soooo forward to spring and container gardens on my balcony!
My very favorite hobby tho is knitting. Enjoying cross stitch as well.
Enjoy your vaca!!
Hugs,
Linda in Wichita
greetings! thank you so much for emma's chicks pattern, it is really sweet! i have my hands in too many pots, but i do some sewing, quilting, and crocheting when i'm not caring for my two grandsons. i have many blessings!
ReplyDeleteHi Linda,
ReplyDeleteI'm a big city girl gone small town girl gone country!
I live just a few miles outside Joplin, Mo of tornado fame.
I have four children, three of whom I am currently homeschooling.
I married my high school sweetheart. You might say we're going steady permanently.
I've a single surviving hen who will soon welcome chicks from the farm store. I have 2 cats who are siblings. Rukia (Roo key ah) is expecting a litter of kittens any day now. .
I enjoy sewing, quilting, scrapbooking, crafting, baking, cooking, and making soup.
I love to read and often review books on my blog, Harvest Lane cottage.
I like to cook from scratch, and I adore Gooseberry Patch books. I've collected a lot of them on Paperback Swap over the years.
I don't enjoy gardening, but I do enjoy canning, especially jams and jellies. Fortunately, my husband is a master gardener.
I do hope you'll come and visit me at Harvest Lane Cottage!
Laura
Just left you a little note on facebook.
ReplyDeleteBlessings from Harvest Lane Cottage,
Laura
Oh Linda, what can I tell you that you don't already know��I am retired after working some 30 odd years at a job I loved. That was just one of the things God has blessed me with. Not everyone loves their jobs. I have an amazing husband, along with beautiful children, grandkids and Great Grandbabies! How could you be more blessed?
ReplyDeleteI love to cook and this would be a wonderful gift.
Gert

ReplyDeleteHi Linda, I love it when you host a party! And I enjoy reading all the neat things your friends are involved in. Of course, I love the Lord and all he has blessed me with....good and bad. Gardening, knitting and sewing have been filling my days now that I am unemployed ;-) Thank you so much for sharing your latest pattern. So cute! I have been sewing my knitting friends project bags and I have a certain friend who would love that chickie on a floursack bag!

ReplyDeleteI just love your blog so I would like to thank you for it. I try to visit everyday. My name is Tammy and I live in a farming community of approx. 4,000. We don't farm but I do love canning and right now I'm trying to learn how to sew. I lost my mom a few years ago and wish now I would have listened to watch she would try to teach me. Older and maybe a little wiser(lol) I'm slowly learning. Thank you so much and hugs and prayers for all. God bless you.

ReplyDeleteWhat an aesthetically lovely webpage! So pleasing to the eye; just draws the reader in. Love it!! I also love Gooseberry Patch and their wonderful cookbooks!
ReplyDeleteHi Linda,
ReplyDeleteIt's been a busy week for me; trying to get a few handmade gifts ready to send out west for my granddaughter's 5th birthday. So I've done very little blogging and reading of blogs this week. Can't miss out on your party, though, since I love your blog and I love Gooseberry Patch!
I live in rural New Hampshire on 12 acres surrounded by woods. Love seasonal decorating, crafting, cooking and baking. Do a little gardening (no houseplants, though; my thumb is decidedly black when it comes to them). Mr. T and I are empty-nesters with ten grandchildren, many of whom live far away, but we will be going to visit them soon. It's snowing up here today with more to come tonight!
I posted a message on your facebook wall.
ReplyDeleteI'm a wanna-be gardner (no place to put one) so I live vicariously through Pinterest. I'm a media specialist by day and a wife, mother, reader and cook the rest of the time.
ReplyDeleteI left a message on your FB wall.
ReplyDeleteLove Gooseberry Patch Cookbooks! Left a message on their FB wall.
ReplyDeleteShared the party info and your blog on my FB wall.
ReplyDeleteHello Linda, I love this design. I downloaded it, sure wish I could afford the kit. I had a sad day the other day. My Tea Kettle shaker that I won from you last year got broken in the move across the country. I actually cried when I opened the box, that a my turtle planter that I used for pens. I was sad but I still have the tea cup.
ReplyDeleteLinda, I love your blog!! You make me feel that I am right there with you! Thank you for being so generous with your patterns. They are so very cute.
ReplyDeleteI am a rural girl who teaches in the city. So i'm a little bit both. If i could have my druthers, I'd love to live like you, in the country, totally immersed in county life I love cooking, baking, crafting, painting, writing. Right now I'm disabled (awaiting hip surgery) so i'm getting to do more crafts than teaching at the moment. I am enjoying it, though I miss my kids in the classroom.
I absolutely love Gooseberry Patch! arlene Marie Pitts carpediem5790@yahoo.com
I am a country girl wanna be living near the big city in suburbia. I love to sew and would spend the entire day just sewing or stitching. Cooking is right up there sewing and I love your blog and the recipes your share!
