Thank you all for entering the Giveaway! You are inspiring to me and I appreciate every one of your comments!!

And now….the Winner of the Finer Femininity Giveaway is….

Congratulations, Mariana! I have sent you an email!

Introducing my daughter, Theresa’s, new line of Bar Soaps!!

Theresa has worked hard to make these soaps pleasing to the eye and to get them to a refreshing and lovely creaminess while keeping the standards of being an all-natural soap for you! They are 100% natural, using all scents from 100% Essential Oils and ingredients from all natural sources…clays, turmeric, activated charcoal, chlorella etc! These soaps truly are amazing and you will be coming back for more!

They make a lovely gift!! They are available here.  

(Keep in mind that ordering multiple bars makes the shipping much more cost-effective.)

These are the soaps available right now for purchase. Available here.





“The wise mother, having an eye to the future, will at once seek to initiate her daughter into the mysteries of housekeeping. Most young girls are interested in domestic affairs, and are never happier than when allowed to have their finger in the domestic pie; but in this as in other things a thorough grounding is the most satisfactory.” -Annie S. Swan, Courtship and Marriage And the Gentle Art of Home-Making, 1894

 

Women historically have been denigrated as lower than men or viewed as privileged. Dr. Alice von Hildebrand characterizes the difference between such views as based on whether man’s vision is secularistic or steeped in the supernatural. She shows that feminism’s attempts to gain equality with men by imitation of men is unnatural, foolish, destructive, and self-defeating. The Blessed Mother’s role in the Incarnation points to the true privilege of being a woman. Both virginity and maternity meet in Mary who exhibits the feminine gifts of purity, receptivity to God’s word, and life-giving nurturance at their highest.

You’ll learn how to grow in wisdom and in love as you encounter the unglamorous, everyday problems that threaten all marriages. As the author says: If someone were to give me many short bits of wool, most likely I would throw them away. A carpet weaver thinks differently. He knows the marvels we can achieve by using small things artfully and lovingly. Like the carpet weaver, the good wife must be an artist of love. She must remember her mission and never waste the little deeds that fill her day the precious bits of wool she s been given to weave the majestic tapestry of married love.

This remarkable book will show you how to start weaving love into the tapestry of your marriage today, as it leads you more deeply into the joys of love.

A Bake Sale Today and an Heirloom-Quality Necklace Set Give-Away for You!

The girls worked hard yesterday to be able to pull this Bake Sale off in town today. It is lovely out. Just two days ago the low was 3 degrees, the high in the twenties. Today it will be 72 degrees……perfect for a Bake Sale!

I wanted to show you the pictures from yesterday. Our Traditional Family Weekends run into a good amount of funds so we try to have two Bake Sales before each Weekend.

IMG_7732 IMG_7736 IMG_7747 IMG_7748 IMG_7750 IMG_7759IMG_7766 IMG_7768 IMG_7769

We also try to get the guys together and have an “Epic Duels” Tournament at least once to raise more money. We have a bunch of guys get together with 3 or 4 of the games. They pay a certain amount to participate, we provide the food, they buy the drinks from us. We are able to raise close to $200.00 each time. And it provides a good time for everyone!

If you would like to donate to the “cause” of these Weekends that provide a chance for like-minded Catholics to get together for social and spiritual nourishment, you can click below.

Also, any benefactors will be remembered in our daily rosary here at our household. 🙂

Here is a video that our friend, Ernie Garcia,  put together to give you an idea of what we try to do over here (I have posted it before):

AND NOW FOR THE GIVE-AWAY!

Today I want to give to one of you this heirloom-quality, classic necklace set!

This necklace set has sparkling spring colors sprinkled throughout to make a lovely and elegant set, perfect to offset your fresh, spring outfit! The wire I used for this particular set is unique…a braided silver wire. It was a little difficult to work with so you may be the only person wearing a set like this…. 😀

It is wire wrapped and therefore a set that will last a lifetime!

If you don’t wear jewelry yourself, think about someone you could give it to. 🙂

Please sign up by making a comment! As usual, I always love to hear from you…even if it is just a hi!

We will announce the winner on Valentine’s Day so don’t be late!

IMG_7630 IMG_7641And while you are at it, take a look at some of my  items at http://www.meadowsofgrace.com   I know there is a lot of jewelry and rosaries out there on the market. I like to think mine is unique because each link is handmade and wrapped around itself (and sometimes running across the bead) providing it with a durability that is unlike other jewelry and rosaries.They are made with time and with love. <3

Happy Autumn!IMG_4760

I was excited to get a couple of reviews of my new Mag-Let and share them with you today! I really appreciate the positive input! I love the little booklets myself. They hold many inspiring thoughts and much wisdom from the past. I think they are well worth the read. 🙂

“I enjoyed this book so much. These are articles that can be read and reread many times especially when your spirits need a ‘pick-me-up’. I especially liked the little thoughts and sayings sprinkled throughout the book. So full of wisdom!” -Julie S.

“Oh it’s purely delightful to cuddle up with a cup of tea and my Finer Femininity Maglet. 🙂 I LOVE IT! Can’t wait for the Christmas edition!!” -Elizabeth V.

“This book is very refreshing to read. It is very beautifully written and easy to read. This book encourages you that your efforts are worth it, enlightens you to do better in a positive way and gives you confidence that you can be good in a not-so-good world. If you want an all-around good book this is it. I look forward to each new publication!” -Emily

You can get the Mag-Let from Amazon, or for a little cheaper (saves on shipping) you can get it from my Etsy Shop.

Please watch for the Advent/Christmas Edition! It will be everything you need to add meaning and inspiration to your Traditional Christmas Season!!

BookCoverPreview.doToday I want to give to one of you this heirloom-quality, classic necklace set!

It is a lovely and elegant set, with plum stone and sparkling black swarovski beads accented with the brass findings and square brass Vintaj wire.

It is all wire-wrapped to last a lifetime! I love the colors and I was thinking of all of you as I was making it, with the inspiration that it would make one of you lovely ladies a charming fall/winter set!

If you don’t wear jewelry yourself, think about someone you could give it to for Christmas.

IMG_4741IMG_4743 IMG_4744

I will send along a  lovely homemade box….designed by Virginia (my daughter) and Nellie (my sister-in-law). They are sweet…the boxes, that is….and the girls 🙂 !IMG_4047IMG_3638 IMG_3637

So please sign up today by making a comment! Let me know something you enjoy about the blog, what you are thinking today or just a simple hello. I love to hear from you!

I will pull the name out of the hat on Oct. 31st, just in time for All Saints’ Day!

I thought I would put up a few photos today of the latest additions at Meadows of Grace!

We took part in a wonderful event here in September, the Shakespeare Festival. We had a “Meadows of Grace” booth there and the kids had a great time looking after it, mingling with friends and just taking part in the festivities. So my pictures will include some of those, too.

If you would like to visit my shop, Meadows of Grace, click here.
