How much fun would it be to swap out the art in your home every six months? Thank you for this very exciting library check out idea Staunton Public Library!
Love all the homemade holiday decorations we spotted around Richmond like this plastic water jug that came back to life as a skeleton!
This one is for all the book store, thrift store, and toy store owners out there and anyone having a yard sale. Please make people smile by copying this adorable idea spotted in the window of Staunton Books! Sign under stuffed animals reads: "Adopt us! Our owners outgrew us but we still want a home. $10 Adoption Fee Includes free kids book to read to me at bedtime! You can pick the book for me."
Chances are a farm sanctuary near you has an event in November to celebrate Thanksgiving WITH the turkeys! Don't miss it! We are grateful for each opportunity we have had to visit everyone at Poplar Spring Animal Sanctuary in Poolesville, MD.
