Doing something good

Ever gotten up in the morning and think of the day ahead and pleased that you are doing something good that day for someone else? Today has been one of those days. During the course of a week, we share personal stories, tragedies, happy times and frustrations. This morning I met with a group of young women who have not had a great life so far in our store to get them interested in a craft. It was wonderful to see these four teens come to life talking with each other and starting to get to know each other through some yarn, a crochet hook or knitting needles. Three of the four have chosen a crochet project.



Another feel good subject, in more ways than one, is the Baaay State Blanket Project. Our farm belongs to a cooperative of Massachusetts wool growers and in 2009, wool was pooled together from anyone who wanted to participate from Massachusetts to have blanket made with our own wool. The wool has been spun and woven in Massachusetts decreasing our carbon footprint as well and keeping things local. These blankets are incredibly warm. They make wonderful gifts also. We have a sample of the 2009 blanket, some sizes still available, with the 2010 plaid to arrive soon. The proceeds go back directly to the producers for their expenses. The price list is in the store or for more information please call our friend, Nancy Miniter at 508-653-3121 or cell 508-740-3839.
