Blustery





Something I am loving right now is wool socks, not cute mind you my husbands camping socks actually, but I love them I am on the search for some cute ones. Anyone know where I can get some? I guess I could knit some, but at the rate I knit, and the fact that I have overburdened myself with volunteering, and decided to do my first ever craft fair next month; they wouldn't be done until next winter. But it is especially blustery right now and my feet are very cold. So if anyone has any recommendations send them my way!
Last weekend we went to the Waldorf School of Atlanta's Fall Festival, it was so much fun, Candle dipping, gourd Painting, wonderful toys, best of all nothing from Oriental Trading Company. It was so nice and peaceful, the toys in the store were beautiful.
On that note, I am about to start my annual "Quality versus Quantity" campaign with my family for Christmas. I really have for the most part given up. Last year's slogan was "If you don't want you gift to end up at our yearly garage sale..." before that I sent pictures of the kids on top of their beds not being able to walk on the floor due to all the toys surrounding their beds like a moat. Maybe this year...

I sure am proud of her, Nona! I miss her greatly.
Love,

Good for you for being on a Quality vs Quantity campaign. I'm in that mode this year, too. We simply don't have room for all the stuff the boys get. It also seems wrong to shower them with so much when so much of the world has nothing.
