9/23/2026 Update - Banana Bread, The BEST Clothespins, Bierocks Tomorrow
We made banana bread, chocolate zucchini cake, lasagna, and lots of apple pie and apple crumb pie yesterday and plan to make bierocks tomorrow. Raisin rolls, more pumpkins and mums on Friday!
A few new products arrived this week. The first one I am VERY excited about. (Not sure what that says about me?!) Rather than share my thoughts about clothespins these days (insert eyeroll…), I’ll just say this: if you are looking for clothespins that you can use for the rest of your life and your kids and grandkids will fight over one day after your funeral, these are them. (Or if you are just looking for clothespins that work…??) Lady and the Carpenter makes these from locally-sourced maple wood in Washington state. They have a linseed oil coating, SOLID stainless steel springs, and come with a lifetime warranty. Kansas farmwife approved!
We’ve also received a few more books, greeting cards, sourdough starters & kits, and these darling how-to watercolor paint booklets.
