Continuing a trial of Saturday shop opening.

It is hot, outside and in.

In the shop a neighbor stopped in and sold me this:

A vintage “chocolate pot set”. For serving hot chocolate. The bone china cups are SO thin! I love the violet design

We are having fun and making things and growing plants etc.

Hope everyone is well!

The gardens are very happy and the herb harvest is already coming in!

Really enjoying the fruits of our labors.

I will keep opening Fiona’s Farm shop so long as the old AC unit makes the building tolerable. And anytime by request. Stay tuned for shop hours and vacation closures.

Happy summertime to all!!!

Sure feels like Summer to me!

Actually this is a small portion of the available peppermint. Also ready are lavender, lemon balm and yarrow.

Swiss chard, bacon and tomatoes for Sunday supper.

I hope you all have a beautiful holiday weekend.

brought over a surprise. She was assisting me with strawberry picking

When I looked up and saw kittens! Three of them; a tiger, solid black and…

We don’t know who these beauties belong to, but they seem to have made Fiona’s Farm their home.

They needed some encouragement to come out of the barn, as they are being tormented by flies and mosquitoes! So we went along for the walk.

Dash seems to enjoy picking the “pickies” off of my pants.

I unimaginatively named her Oreo. She has adopted us and came along for the walk too.

And we had a very good day in Fiona’s Farm Shop, and Kevin’s plant business is growing every day. Bad pun.

I will be adding some new items to our online store this week. Fingers crossed.

Thanks for stopping in!

It was a quiet day with a handful of visitors, but a good start for early May!

I was able to work on displays in the shop, Mother’s Day and Teacher Appreciation ideas.

A new twist in the shop is this:

We hope everyone is well and happy.

Happy Mother’s Day to all!

Everything is bursting into bloom!

Kevin has propagated a large quantity and variety of shrubs, herbs and vegetables for sale.

So tempting to spend the gorgeous Spring days outside, but I have been working away on preparing the shop to open this Saturday. Plans to trial opening every Saturday are in place. The shop will feature refurbished furniture as well as many smaller items such as candles, jewelry and garden themed products.

Come and see us soon!

The winter holidays are such a wonderful time to gather with friends and family, as has been our collective cultural custom for a long time. It is deeply fixed in memory. A gift to be cherished and acknowledged. Memory is a powerful thing.

This year , the seasonal holiday room at Fiona’s Farm is nostalgic. Retro.

This theme fell into place, but it also seems especially poignant this year, given the fragile uncertain times in which we are living. It is comforting and healing to remember simpler times of togetherness. Every one of us has a story worthy of recalling and sharing with others. Our history…our ancestry.

Every doll and toy in the Holiday Room is vintage, and has a history too.

We at Fiona’s Farm wish you all a peace-filled holiday season, with friends and family both near and far. And further, wish that kindness and generosity be our practice.

Let your light shine on and bring healing to a broken world.

We hope to see you at the Fiona’s Farm tomorrow December 11th.
