Farmgirl Friday Blog Hop #81

We started escrow on our new little fixer-upper homestead and I am going to be off grid quite a bit for the next several weeks as we pack, move and supervise repairs on the new place, but I know none of us want to miss Farmgirl Friday so Deb has graciously agreed to decorate my blog with her wonderfully inspiring posts when I am unable to gain access to internet service during our transition from point A to point B.  Thank you Deb!  I will check in as often as I can so I don't miss anything...  Here's this week's post straight from Deb.

Welcome to The ORIGINAL Farmgirl Friday Blog Hop # 81! 

Your place to strut your farmgirl know how from the kitchen, garden, craft room, farmyard, or barnyard! 

Farmgirl Friday is hosted by: 

Heidi of My Simple Country Living

Dolly of Hibiscus House

and yours truly. 

 It was a crazy week with hurricane Sandy wreaking havoc along the eastern seaboard causing devastating life changes for thousands of people. We were fortunate along the shorelines in Massachusetts and our thoughts and prayers go out to our friends who were not so lucky in New York and New Jersey. We are hopeful for a speedy recovery for all who were adversely effected by the storm and that life returns to some resemblance of normal SOON!

 Onwards and upwards with the Farmgirl Friday news and features! I love looking at all of your entries each week. I am always inspired, sure to get a giggle or two and a new recipe or craft idea to try here at Dandelion House. It's no surprise with the upcoming election and the current state of our economy that the three most clicked posts this week were about sustainable self- sufficiency and frugal living.

Here are your top three most read posts!

 

 Live Ready Now wrote an inspiring account on their first year of Off Grid Living
from acquiring the land they homestead on to making it a home. AMAZING!

 

 Learning and Earning looks back at their early years as homesteaders and shares where those first sparks of inspiration for their homesteading dreams came from. Foxfire Books are on their reading list for boning up on some old fashioned homesteading know how.

Do beauty and frugal living go together? ABSOLUTELY! If you've eve wondered how to save money and have a charming, beautiful handmade home look no further than A Cultivated Nestfor home and garden inspiration on a budget. Her Home Sweet Frugal Home blog hop is in it's 4th week!
