lordy, lordy. things have been crazy around here. is your summer going as quickly as mine? it’s hard to believe we’ve already passed the fourth of july. it’s like the beginning of the end. but, i must say, even though it’s been a bit busy, my summer as been quite enjoyable and the weather has been just as great! which is quite shocking.
last week i cooked up another batch of jam. strawberry lemonade.
let me tell you, its quite delicious. especially warmed up and served over ice cream. yum.
i basically used the standard recipe for strawberry jam and added fresh lemon juice, lemon zest and a bottle of simply lemonade. i’d give you the recipe but i really don’t have one. this is how my jams usually come about.
last week i got a couple orders for the gift shoppe. included were these adorable mercury glass ducks.
a bit of whimsy is a must in any house. don’t you think?
i may just need to keep a set of these guys for myself.



I am dying for these glass ducks as my last name is Duck! Are they still available?
Hey Michael, Just found your blog through everythingetsy.com. They have your printable in the top 100 printables. After I browsed through your blog, gotta say, you are super! I am your newest follower. I would love to own a bed and breakfast. I bet it’s loads of work, but also very rewarding!
Jams look AMAZING! And I must have aset of the ducks…they just make me happy to look at them! Where can I get a set?
Hi,
I happened here by chance…lovely blog. I really like the way you packaged the jam and the little glass ducks are adorable, wonder if they would float~ they would be cute in a pond.
Loving the ducks. Craziness is going on around me, too. Can’t wait to finish school (forever) next week and get a life again.
That jam looks SO delicious!! Hope you’re enjoying every bit of your summer!

Love the ducks….jam I’m sure is beyond yummy. you’re too far away so I’m sending relatives to enjoy your talents who live closer…keep a set of ducks for yourself..I see something super cute for easter with those babies!!!
Strawberry lemonade jam?!! I’m going to give this one a try for sure!
Dude, I don’t even like jam but the pictures and flavors always make it look appetizing. Or maybe it’s the cute packaging…I’m a sucker for good packaging.
Meanwhile, I think I’m going to save my pennies and come visit. I’m tired of looking at your breakfasts and gift shop goodies and not being able to have either.
Strawberry Lemonade?! My goodness, I have go to try that!
Yes! Whimsy is a must in every house.
I’m glad you’re enjoying your summer.
