Melody F says:Congratulations on your pretty POD. I don’t want to think of fall yet. Summers are too short in Salem, Oregon. I rained like crazy today which is unusual for this date. Your pick is full of tempting things.

Granny Nancy says:I know some folks don’t want to think about fall but sometimes it takes weeks to come up with ideas for pieces when one has a shop. I’ve had a bad bunch of months and didn’t even get spring pieces made for my shop.

Mary - Sweet Chick says:Yay! Congrats on this Fall POD beauty!

Chicky Red-haired Grammy says:A beautiful POD, Nancy! I did not realize you have a shop … where?
I am very sorry about your bad months. I am assuming you are referring to your health? Please take care.

Granny Nancy says:Yes, I have a shop on Etsy: GrannysShoppe. But there’s hardly anything there. I haven’t been able to get things made. Growing old is the pits. I have some things to get thru in the next few weeks and then hopefully get pieces made and listed. Right now its supposed to be on vacation.
