Well, I'm afraid you're in for another long post here today, because I have a lovely giveaway win I want to share,
and finish showing you the last of the pictures from Farm Chicks.
But before I do that, I wanted to show you how a couple of the girls are doing.
I chose to show you two that come the closest to fitting in with the White Wednesday theme
for today.
Do you remember them when they were just teeny, and I brought them into the house
for a little portrait sitting? (and they pooped all over everything)
Well...this is Rossie and Harriette now!
Rossie is the one on the left in both photos, and Harriette on the right.
I have to tell ya...Harriette is and always has been my favorite!
I know...I'm a bad 'chick mama'. But she is! She has the
sweetest temperament AND she is the prettiest.
I will have to show you the other girls another time, but I just had to brag today
about these two sweet peeps.
Now for the amazing giveaway I won from dearest Cindy at Stitches-N-Stuff.
When this came, it was wrapped so beautifully, and I just knew that it would be special.
You see, Cindy sent me a beautiful gift before and I know what her handiwork is like.
She is an amazing artist with a sewing machine. You can't even imagine what was waiting
for me wrapped in white tulle and ribbons.
Look at all this beauty...
A wonderful verse about charity folded up and tucked in a tin with lovely white and
creamy buttons.
Wait till you see the beautiful angel soap dish...
you see, angels are very special to me and Cindy knows this!
Now for the handiwork itself.
A beautiful bag sewn up in all my favorite shades of creams and white!
A close-up of this lovely piece of Cindy's heart.
Cindy, I want to thank you for this lovely gift and for being my friend.
I LOVE it ALL and will enjoy my bag as I take it everywhere this Summer
when I go to the flea and farmer's markets.
From farm chick chickens to Farm Chicks the show...
Here are the last of the views I saw when I was at this wonderful event.
Oh I can hardly wait till next year!
I am joining Kathleen at Faded Charm for White Wednesday.
Because I am totally out of whites at the moment, I have decided to
to only post for White Wednesday about once a month. I have enjoyed this so much and
it was hard for me to make the decision to do so. I think this will work best for me this Summer and
I hope to be back to regular white posting in the Fall...
because I LOVE white!!!!

Hi June,
Your not so small chicks are still darling! Brings back memories of being chick mom when my daughter was in kindergarten (there were lots of chicks). I would love to have a few now if we lived out in the country, mentioned it to my hubby a few times but no response as of yet ;)
Ooh, thanks for the Farm Chicks photos, they are fab. I want that dresser. The photo of the lady at the blue counter is great, she's darling. Happy WW sweetie!

Hi June,
Happy White Wednesday. Lovely whites like always my friend...Oh and I must say that Harriette and Rossie have grown up to be very lovely young chickens :-) They're too cute. And what lovely gifts Cindy has sent you. She is trully a sweet and kind soul...and very crafty. Enjoy. Have a wonderful day.
Hugs and Kisses,

The chicks are darling! My grandmother had chickens when I was little and I remember gathering eggs with her in the small hen house. I also remember her letting me hold the darling little dears when they were not but four inches tall.
I have to share this, too:
One Easter my mother bought my sister and I each a dyed chick...mine was purple and my sister's was green. (My brother got a duck!) Now keep in mind that I was 10 and my sister was 5....
While my sister was carry her chick, she fell on it...and I could tell it was hurt because it couldn't walk! My mother worked for a doctor at the time in our small town, so we walked to the doctor's office carrying that baby chick...about 10 blocks away. When we got there, the doctor felt so bad for my sister that he took the little chick and put a splint (a broken pencil!) on its broken leg. The little guy hobbled around for days, but did actually heal! Soon they were grown up and we had to give them to our friends who lived on a farm and raised chickens for their eggs. I'll never forget how hard she cried though when she fell on that little guy....tears were just flowing down her cheeks at the thought of having harmed her baby.
Thank you for reminding me of that sweet memory!
Sue
Lovely as usual. Sweet chicks! And I need to get to that market next time, wow! I would LOVE that green chippy dresser.
Aw, poor Rossie.
He is going to need a chick shrink, peep psychiatrist?
I'll love the bad boy, don't I always? ( NOW THAT's a story)
hehe
Fabulous photos as always my dear. I won't keep you, know you're dying to be back out in your garden. : } What a special prize package Cindy made just for you.

Oooo love everything, it's like a treasure chest. I sure love white too June. ;) Take care, Martha
p.s. your package is in the mail!
Ah those chickens are so lucky to live close to you! I love all your photos of the farm chicken market, too bad that it is too far away but through your photos I can pretend I was there. Sorry to hear that you are temporarily quiting with White Wednesday, but I can understand. Summertime means more time outside, more family time, at least to me. I'm having a blog break too, starting July, as my family and I start our holidays and start to travel then. Blogging is fun, but I am looking forward to spend some time with my family again. Have a great week. We are having lovely weather over here, I do hope you have beautiful summer weather too and that you have the time to enjoy it, hugs LiLi.
All that scrumptiousness(is that a word?)left me weak! Love it all, I could just live there - at least for a while. Love your peeps, too. What wonderful chickens they are. Hugs, Diane
Those little chicks are just precious! Wonderful White Wednesday photos from the Farm chicks show ~ and your parcel from Cindy is gorgeous.
Your chicks sure grow up fast don't they and still so pretty. What a lovely present to get from Cindy, all is gorgeous. Love your pics from the farm chic show also. Have a great day.
Sandy
I just recently found your blog, but have to say I look forward to your beautiful posts and photos. And you never disappoint! I so love your chicks, and wish I could have some. And the gift you received: priceless indeed! You're lucky to have such a sweet and giving friend.
Brenda
Thanks for posting more pictures of the chicks. They have really grown!
Farm Chicks looks like an amazing sale. I will just have to live vicariously through you and enjoy the event through your pictures.
Have a wonderful week.
Jane
Hi June,
I loved seeing your grown up chicks and they are darling.
Reminds me of when I was a wee girl and we had chickens - I had a photo of a little yellow chickie perched on my head.
The photos of the Farm chicks are amazing and that must have been the best place to visit.
Congratulations on winning such a lovely gift ~ everything is beautiful.
Happy white Wednesday!
Hugs
Carolyn

G'eve sweet June ~ I had a lot of catching up to do with you ... you sure did have a grand time at the Farm Chicks, didn't you! That makes me so happy for you.
Your studio is absolutely my favorite of them all ... & I love the cabinet your son made ... what I so enjoy is the soft warmth that draws one to your decor, surrounded by the gentle touches of beauty ... it says so much of you, June.
Your little chicks are really grown up ... I love the white one with the soft touches of color, also.
I don't know if you saw my write on June 8th I believe of the little 'visitor' we had ... it was very exciting.
So glad you are back & up ... missed you a lot.
Have a beautiful summers eve.

Great photos of both Farm Chicks, your girls are so cute. I know what you mean about bad pet-mama. One of my kitties is my total favorite, ooooh, I just can't help it!
I'm lovin' that pillow with the script on it. It's just amazing!
I know it must have been a wonderful trip!
xo,
Debra
June, your chicks are
so lovely!!!
I don't know if I told
you before, but my parents
live in Washington State...
{I'm in Minnesota}
and I'm hoping to go out
for Farm Chicks, next year.
I wonder where you are???
What a wonderful opportunity
that you had to attend,
this year! Maybe I'll see
you out there, next year : )
xx Suzanne
More sweet gorgeousness!!! Sigh. You know, I'm going to have to purchase a fainting couch so I have somewhere soft to land when I visit your blog, June. :) Your photos are dreamy!
Which brings me to... You are probably asked this all the time, so forgive me if you've answered it before, but could you please share a little about your camera with us? I'm still using a 10-year-old digital and hope (OhMyDoIEverHope) to purchase a new camera next year. It's a dream of mine to be able to share beautiful photos on my blog. I don't know that I could ever have your kind of talent, but a better camera would certainly help a girl like me! :)
Have yourself a wonderful day!!!
Zuzu
I don't know what Zuzu is talking about. Her photos are beautiful! How can you not take beautiful photos when you live in gorgeous surroundings? And my dear June, I don't think you could ever run out of whites to show off. Your chicks are sweet. And Farm Chicks was filled with so many wonderful treasures. Love the gifts you received from Cindy. That bag is fabulous and useful. Have a great summer! :) Tammy
I can't believe how big the chicks are...time flies;)!
As always the images you have shown are gorgeous...I love it all!
Enjoy!
Cathy
HI June
Well you even may little chick look dreaming... Hard to say what I enjoyed most on this post.. all the gorgeous whites.... the little chicks .. or that fabulous giveaway you won.... beautiful.. lucky girl... and I expect quite timely as a little birie [or little chick] told me you just had a birthday... Hope it was wonderful and the year ahead filled with joy and happiness.. xxx Julie
Hi, June, your little chicks have grown up. I know you are enjoying raising them. If I ever lived in the country, I would have a big old Texas Longhorn to gaze at every day. You received some beautiful items from your friend. I especially loved the angel soap dish, so romantic and sweet. I hope you have had a terrific Friday and wishing you the best of weekends. Sending lots of love and hugs your way~ Vicki
It's funny, June, no matter what you photograph, it's always beautiful! A wonderful post! p.s. can't get enough of those Farm Chicks photos
Harriete and Rossie and getting so big! :) They are both very lovely ladies. Thanks for sharing more photos of your Farm Chicks trip!
Hey June,
Just got back from vacation and am getting caught up on blogs. So lovely meeting you at FC's. Your photos are gorgeous and of course I love the ones you took of my goodies. Hope to see you again there next year!
XO,

Your potots are incredible June! I adore your girls. Does your hen house have curtians? How lovely they are.
Marcie
You have a good eye. I love the photos in this post. Your very first one of the chickens could be a framed print. Perfect.
Beautiful place you have here.
I love your chicken girls. Your photographs are always so lovely.
