Buttons
Shop at the Farm
 You never know what you'll find...
 
...For instance, these cool buttons. A few are on the button page of the website, but for most you'll just have to come in person. The shop is usually open Thursdays and some Saturdays, but the summer schedule is getting so full that I have set up other days. I keep a schedule Open Hours at On the Farm. If you will be in the area and want to visit you can always contact me and see if I'll be here.

Donkey Talk 
For your amusement!

Donkeys are such funny animals. I am always amused by Amaryllis.  The ears, the voice, the behavior. She is devoted to Stephanie, the geriatric goat. Yesterday when I wanted Amaryllis out of the pasture she lifted her head when I called her name, but came in when I called Stephanie's name. Maybe she thinks her name is Stephanie-Amaryllis.

New Fiber 

Roving

 
We have all been waiting for the 2012 fiber and yarn from the 2011 shearing. A few parts of my latest order arrived and you can see them in the shop. There will be more fiber and yarn coming in over the next month. I'll let you know when it is all here and posted on the website.
 
Remember the Summer Challenge from the last newsletter (see the archives). Send me a photo (that I can use on the web) of your vacation and featuring Meridian Jacobs fiber or yarn in use, and you will win a $10 gift certificate if your name is drawn. That is the June challenge.
