Love all of your beautiful photos and life's musings and thoughts. I can totally understand taking a break from all the electronics out there. I'm very happy with my little plain cell phone that only makes calls! and I do use my computer to blog and have a little Etsy shop.. but don't "do" twitter or instagram or anything else. I can't see being glued to it all and having to chatter with someone every few minutes! I like the quiet and peaceful times at home without interruptions and phone noise or phone beeps like so many people have. Anyway... am loving looking around your blog and life and seeing your beautiful village and area. Small town USA is where I wish I was right now! Would love to walk everywhere... has always been my dream but haven't gotten there yet.

Sometimes I feel like I was born in the wrong era! ;)<br />I want to come to Em's birthday party - I love seeing your posts on all the sweet take home gifts that are given out - where were those parties when I was her age? Such amazing memories for her and her friends!<br />Your basket light is just so pretty, LOVE it! And can't wait to see your gallery wall!<br />Happy almost weekend, let's hope we get warm days again like they are predicting!

I have missed your beautiful photos but I soOo get your need to step away every so often. Taking a little electronics break can be very refreshing and a nice book accompanied by a lovely cup of tea is the best way to switch off for a little while. Your basket light is beautiful and I just LoVe LoVe LoVe it!!!<br />Anna xxAnna @ paperdollsandposieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14413189605407457635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36124766.post-77200498644637301722016-02-23T01:10:30.585-05:002016-02-23T01:10:30.585-05:00Jen~~~~

I want to purge everything and anything that I feel is taking up space in my mind and life. Did you feel this way? I don't have a lot of creative ideas, more some clean up/organizing of things that don't really entice me. Still, if I have something else to distract me, like electronics and social media, I will put things off. Food for thought.<br /><br />I'm so happy to see your Em sewing (I have an Emily!). This will serve her well later in life. I wish I could sew with a machine. I've tried. No tolerance for patterns and measuring! lol!<br /><br />We don't live so far away from each other so we, too, experienced the beautiful sun and warm temps. I loved airing everything out. I do that when it's freezing, too. I hate stale air with a passion.<br /><br />I hope you don't get the snow we have predicted later in the week, but if you do, remember...we are in it together!! :)<br /><br />Jane Blondie's Journalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12988377413260331618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36124766.post-63368318669263748962016-02-22T22:16:45.031-05:002016-02-22T22:16:45.031-05:00Beautiful pictures.

I kept looking for a blog update from you since I love your blog so much. ;-) Good for you for taking a break from electronics...I definitely need to be more disciplined with this. I *love* the lampshade you made, as well as what you did with that gorgeous wrapping paper. Such creativity and talent! Your last paragraph, especially your last sentence has me wondering though..."time for a change"...what are you up to? :-)Melaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08659968511488397366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36124766.post-38041630307076828602016-02-22T18:27:18.687-05:002016-02-22T18:27:18.687-05:00I always love whatever it is you have to say...
