Maybe not as fun as from your local tinsmith but thought it might be of interest to your other readers.<br /><br />You already know that the Miss Read books are favorites of mine!

Thank you for sending along your comments. It is pleasant to be in your company.<br /><br />The lady tinsmith, Karen Hurd, sells her Colonial style wares from her studio at 972 Valley Rd, Quarryville, PA 17566. I didn't find a website. Her cutters were featured in Early American Life magazine a few years back. Last December I visited her studio. <br /><br />The butter cookie recipe is a basic "roll" dough out of "Joy of Cooking" but I added a little spice. <br /><br />Until next time,<br />Karen A.Karen Andreolahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12135239838790568639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8612255949290013608.post-84506919658536680742011-12-04T22:20:01.271-05:002011-12-04T22:20:01.271-05:00My husband and I recently watched a documentary on...My husband and I recently watched a documentary on The Shakers, therefore I recognized your Title.Love this posting Karen.Dear Husband has this book on hold for me at our library.Bless you for sharing snippets of your life with us ladies.I loved your one-on-one time with your daughter.

Now that the season is approaching, I can't wait to read them and I will start with the Miss Quinn story.

So I have promptly ordered it from my library. Imagine my surprise to discover two copies were actually available! Although one of them is large print, I shall manage. It sounds like a delightful book to read this Christmas.<br /><br />I wonder if you could share with us how you encouraged your older children to still enjoy readalouds with you?sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03818420999930644450noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8612255949290013608.post-68409822229530717102011-12-03T14:05:34.072-05:002011-12-03T14:05:34.072-05:00I don't want any rush through this amazing Cel...I don't want any rush through this amazing Celebration!

My husba...Such a beautiful painting. I wonder too.<br /><br />My husband and son are much the same as yours, "Can we eat them yet?" I bought three cookie cutters this fall: a scarecrow, a crow, and a pumpkin. Those cookies were quite a bit of work to cut out and decorate. I warned them all that these were cookies to be savored and eaten slowly. My mom and I laughed about how much I would have to charge per cookie if I planned to make a living that way.<br /><br />Interestingly, I saw a commercial the other day whose main theme was - DONE. People were depicted in the midst of various Christmasy activities, and the main thrust was being done. Cards, shopping, cooking, decorating...there was no joy, just an urgency to be done. It was good for me to see. I'm making extra efforts this season to find the joy in the doing.<br /><br />You've reminded me, I'm almost out of ginger.<br /><br />I always look forwrd to your posts, Karen.<br /><br />SusanAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8612255949290013608.post-34862707089904457232011-12-03T12:43:35.273-05:002011-12-03T12:43:35.273-05:00OOOh those heart in hands cookie cutter is beautif...OOOh those heart in hands cookie cutter is beautiful! <br />Thanks for heads up on the Miss Read book.
