I am from Texas...If you are southern, that will explain a lot! Relocated to Kansas thru marriage and a touch of insanity. :) I love to Garden and have an addiction to antiques, vintage items and estate sales...my hubby could care less as long as its comfortable and/or delicious...as he tells everyone..I am the pack rat, he is the pack mule. :) I am constantly experimenting with different techniques to grow flowers and veggies on the ever changing plains! Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't and sometimes the children stage an intervention. We recently sold our home and moved into a much smaller one on a manageable 10 acres, now that all the kids are off to college, etc. we welcome the simplicity of it....We call it "The Sugar Creek Burrow"...its our little jumbled up nest of things that only we enjoy..a place to grow wild weeds and creatures instead of wild children and relax from the pressures of life. I hope you enjoy our store and a peek at our little corner of the world.
