This is a picture of a few of the candles that I have put in my candle cupboard so far. I use this to display my candles. It is not what you call handy to move so my my Farmer lugs it around for me when I have a show. Isn't he sweet? :) I am thinking about painting it a different color but I have not had the time to do that yet. I still have more candles downstairs in my shop that need the wicks trimmed and covers put on. I have not put on any labels yet so those will need to be printed. I have a ton of things to do in a week.
We have not been in the field to harvest sunflowers since our snow storm...until today. They are doing some combining as I write this. I am not needed now so I get to stay home this evening.
Remember the field of sunflowers behind our house? Well that has been combined and it is just stubble now. This is what is roaming around in that field now.
MOOSE! There are three of them but we only captured two. They were too far away and moving to get a good picture. They enjoy eating the seeds that have fallen to the ground. They are huge and you would not want to encounter then when out on a stroll We have several different small herds of moose around here this fall. The other day we had three up by our semi in a different field that we were harvesting sunflowers in before the snow. I thought that a picture of the moose with our truck would be a great shot but they were gone by the time I went home to get the camera! Darn it!
Well, I better get going for now. I hope to visit you all soon and get caught up on what you all are up to!! Have a great weekend and remember to leave me a message if you stopped by! To all of you new folks that have left me comments I will stop by your place soon thanks for stopping by. Have a great weekend everyone!

How cool is that? What a great picture! I wish I could've been there in person. I really loved your post on the sunflowers, I had never thought about them being harvested before. Things are good here. I'm so happy it's Friday. Good luck at your craft shows, sounds like you've been really busy!
ReplyDeleteHey Tania! WOW! You have been very busy! I love your hoosier with all the candles on it. One good thing about being white is that the color does not compete with the candle colors, and it makes them easy to see.
ReplyDeleteHow amazing to get to see moose in your own backyard! That's a great pic!
Good luck on your show. I hope you accomplish all that needs to be done, to get ready.
Have a great weekend!
Best of luck at your craft show. Your candles are so pretty and I'm sure they smell good too. Have a good weekend!
ReplyDelete110? You are too cool girl! I've never made that many of anything. Hope your show is a big success!
ReplyDeleteI never knew anyone who saw moose that close before. What a great shot! Thanks for sharing that nice picture with us.
You have a great weekend too. Hope you get to rest a little. xxoo

MOOSE!! You have MOOSE!! We have Elk, I would love to see a moose!! I love them, they are great looking animals! Huge! Your candles look great! I'll bet they smell yummy.
ReplyDeleteWishing you the very best in your Christmas on the Prairie Show. Oh how I wish I could go to that one. Sounds lovely.
ReplyDeleteI can't believe you have Moose! I can't imagine looking outdoors and seeing one of those in my pasture. LOL I always think of Bullwinkle. Remember him? LOL
Love your display cabinet, too!
Smiles,

Where the heck do you live that you would get such an awesome shot of moose??? That is an incredible photo!
ReplyDeleteOur oldest daughter and her hubby moved to Montana this year (both are teachers and could not get work here in MI)...she is pregnant with their 1st, and her Dr. told her that she needed more iron in her diet and to try and incorporate some elk or moose...we thought that was hysterical...as if you could just pick some up at your local butchers. Hey! Maybe you CAN in Montana!
Thanks for stopping by.

Thanks for stopping by Farmchick. I just hope my stepson likes the afghan it's for him for Christmas.
ReplyDeleteYou certainly have made a lot of candles. Good Luck with the show I hope it's a huge success! Making candles is on my list of things to learn how to do.
The picture of those moose are awesome! I have to show this to my 7 year old tomorrow he will love it. Take Care :)
Hey Farm Chick! Thanks for stopping by my blog. Any Czech/Kolache-lover is welcome at my table. Coffee's always on. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm guessing you aren't in Neb. w/ moose roaming the fields.
I'm following you now. And I LOVE your Playlist songs. We have the same taste! (JD Green will be in my head all weekend now. lol)
Hugs!

That's a lot of candles...I can just smell them now. Cool moose pics!
ReplyDeleteWe fight rain during harvest, but nothing like your snow. And the moose!...We have deer, but nothing like that looking back at ya!
ReplyDeleteI need to check our your candles..I LOVE soy candles.
I am planning on coming out on Sat, is it Friday too?? It all depends on the weather, of course. you should maybe send me a poster that I can print out and hang up at work.
ReplyDeletelove the moose.
Rita
I burn candles all the time...hope you have a great craft show!
ReplyDeleteYour candles look great....and I like the color of the thing you display them in...it brings out the colors of the candles.
ReplyDeleteMoose....I would faint if I ran into one in the field!
We started back in on our corn last Friday (and Sat. and Sun. too)....moving some today and then hoping to get some more harvested and dried.
I just discovered your blog - I love it! So cute, I'm jealous... I want to be a farmer's wife!! (just kidding, honey).
ReplyDeleteI love your display! That reminds me I still need to try your candles. :)
ReplyDeleteYour candles look so beautiful sitting in the hutch! I hope your craft show goes well! The moose pictures you took are neato. Is it true that moose will attack? I would not want to come across one! Thanks for stopping by my new blog!
ReplyDeleteWow - you have been busy! I hope your show is a huge success! I love the cabinet too! I bet it looks great filled with your yummy candles too!
ReplyDeleteI like the cabinet and the color as well. The moose in the field look fantastic!
ReplyDeleteOh Moose! How cute!
ReplyDeleteI like your display of candles. I do however only like a certain scents. Most candles are so strong, they make me sick. I tend to buy the "food" smelling ones...apple pie, vanilla, pumpkin spice, hazelnut...
That's alot of candles! I bet it smells good at your house! I hope you sell them all! And what a great farmer you have...he is sweet! :)
ReplyDeleteMoose out in your fields...where do you live? That's so cool!
Tammy
I want to make candels!! Those look awesome! I also love your moose picture! Very cool! Good luck at your craft fair!

Wow you get a lot of visitors to your blog! Where are you located? I couldn't find any mentions of even a state. You've got to be further north than Kansas if you've already had a snow that interfered with sunflower harvest! Glad you enjoyed my blog as well. Keep working on those moose pictures! :-)
