Willow House and Dina...gorgeous!

Time for a bit of a different post! One of my very best girlfriends, Dina Reasoner, has recently become a Design Consultant for Willow House. New to Willow House? They are a wonderful home-based decor business with some truly beautiful, elegant and graceful pieces for home and garden. I'm helping Dina kick off her new venture by spreading the word with my fellow bloggers, blog readers, customers and friends. I would only do this if I thought you would enjoy their products as much as I. Here is a collage I put together of some of my favs from the catalog.

Please note, these are not urban farmhouse products (so you will not find them on my website) but rather a company we give our stamp of approval to if you will. If you like what you see and want to see more just click on the photo to view a catalog and/or shop online. You can order online through this link...just make sure you enter my name, Lisa Maughmer, as the party hostess cuz I'll get some free stuff...who doesn't LOVE free stuff especially when it's pretty free stuff?? This little virtual party I'm having will end Saturday, July 16th so you have a few days to look and shop if you like. Oh, and one very important note...her July special is this:

Spend $39.96 or more on products 

and you can take one additional product 

that is $39.96 or less for 50% off!!

The items on sale can be used to qualify for the 50% item, but you cannot choose your 50% off item from the sale flyer. 

So have fun! Hope you enjoy it as much as we do and the very best of luck to my dear friend Dina!!

I'm late, I'm late!

I'm sorry! I know I promised you this would be posted yesterday, my apologies. Burning the candle at both ends caught up with me and knocked me out for the day. So as promised here are the photos of the BEAUTIFUL hand made felted Easter sheep from Kentucky artisan Sara Dunham (and from Miss Ewenice too!).
Aren't they beautiful? I am so in love with the serenity and peacefulness they exude. Absolutely stunning for your Easter table. I love that they are all white symbolizing the purity of the Lamb of God(although I bet Sara has to wash Miss Ewenice's sheared curls A LOT to get them this creamy white! By the way, Miss Ewenice is a beautiful Border Leicester sheep, the same as in the movie Babe).
I put them out on white ruffled cake stands, some with cloches and some without, hugged by clay pots of fresh lavender plants and my new 'farm fresh' candles.
A small flock of beauties.
There's another snuggled up to some sachets of dried lavender my daughter Grace made.
A ewe and lamb under a cloche.

This one is my absolute favorite with the lamb climbing up and onto mommy, so sweet! Remember, these creations are handmade with homegrown curls from Miss Ewenice, they are not "stuffed animals", they are works of art and are not intended for small children. (((If you would like to purchase any of these please call my shop between 10AM and 5PM Eastern time at 740-246-BARN or you can email me at
CEO-mom@columbus.rr.com. There will be a flat rate shipping charge of $5 for each one, and $3.00 for each additional one you would like to add to your flock.))))

Sara, a self described shepherd and fiber artist, along with her husband maintain a 26 acre farm in north central Kentucky. Their farm is currently home to 25 sheep, 5 horses, 2 dogs, 5 cats, a small flock of chickens, 60,000 or so bees and untold numbers of wild critters. In 2007 they were certified by the National Wildlife Federation as a Backyard Habitat, something they are quite proud of and encourage everyone to look into.

Sara has a fun farm blog here and I encourage you to visit! The animals are quite entertaining.

Thank you Sara for sharing your wonderful talent with us!
