Now, normally we don't post a ton about movies on our blog, but here's one we just couldn't pass up mentioning… The Widow's Might. It is SOOO good (we've already seen it four or five times)!!!! The Widow's Might was also the Jubilee winner at the San Antonio Independent Christian Film Festival. You can pre-order the DVD here— worth every penny!
Have any of you seen it yet?
The Lord truly blessed our family 21 years ago — April 26th, 1988 — the day Apphia was born.
What a beautiful, responsible, virtuous young woman The Lord has molded her into. Daily we see her growing in His ways and how delightful that is! Apphia is a joy to work alongside and a wonderful example for the other girls in the family.
Thank you, Apphia, for being a wonderful daughter, sister, and friend!
We love you,
Mom, Achaia, Abigail, and Abiah
It just caught her eye, and she couldn't say no. Now Abigail has a vintage dress. From the 50s. Covered in bright flowers and fruit.
So very Abigail… don't you think?
And just think… all this cuteness for only $8!
Hello, friends! My, it has been a while, hasn't it? We are thankful to say that we are home safe and sound, had a lovely time, are catching up on orders, and are now beginning to see the bottom of the laundry pile (well, almost on that last one). Phew!
Enjoying Mexican food at Matt's El Rancho in Austin, TX!
So! We've got some more good news. First of all, we're working on some new patterns. Really, really cute ones. And new fabrics are in, too. Which means you'll get to see them soon! And for those of you that don't know, you can now purchase the tessa bloomers and bag pattern via our Etsy shop.
Achaia in Fredericksburg at the National Museum of the Pacific War (incredibly interesting, by the way!) Notice the jumper– hint, hint, hint!!
Abigail and Achaia at Clear River. The most delicious ice cream ever… especially when eaten with your best friend!
Now, ladies, are you up for a giveaway? How 'bout some tessa bloomers? Be back later…
love to all of you!
