Rabbit Hill – Handmades & Happy Things by Jenn Tavoletti

February

February, the shortest, longest month of the year. I have come to enjoy it. It's a month of planning, organizing, and dreaming of warmer days ahead. It has always been a special month to me. If you have been following for a while, you may know why. If not, I have a post about it called "A Valentine Story".

Dino and I both had the flu in January, and even now, still not feeling quite right, but so much better. I am so looking forward to this year. It is comforting knowing that Lydia is happy and where she should be. Last year tore me apart. I could hardly focus on anything, not knowing what the future was for her. What a difference a year makes. Always thankful for God's presence and for His blessings in my life. "Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; His love endures forever"

I know I mentioned this last month, but I really hope to create more. I have a few new changes coming up on here in the spring. Plus you can still find me on Early Work Mercantile the first of every month at 8:00 am eastern time. Please, if you have a moment, RESIGN UP FOR MY MAILING LIST AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS PAGE. This will keep you informed of any updates I have. My old email address has caused some issues, and I had to start a new mailing list. (Note that my new email is jenntavoletti@gmail.com)

Thank you always for you kindness and friendship. Have a very happy month ahead!
xoxo Jenn

Bread making ~ You can do it!

I was looking at pictures while we were sick last week and thinking back to our visit with Dino’s cousins. They live on Maui. It was one of our most favorite vacations ever. We were so lucky to experience Maui life through local eyes. We hiked, surfed, and snorkeled off of rocky beaches. We foraged […]

Christmas Time at 1824 Walker Farmhouse & Cookie Bar Recipe

After a totally wonderful few days with all of my friends at 1824 Walker Farmhouse, Dino and I have been getting ready and are so excited for Lydia to come home…this evening! Before that happens, I wanted to share a few pictures from the weekend. Thanks to so many of you for coming to visit […]

The Sunday Drive

My mom has told me many stories about my grandfather. A lot of them are about when he would take the family on long drives while she was growing up. (I think that is how they found the town were they built their cabin.) My grandfather would tell my mom and Uncle Jimmy to get […]

Small Batch Applesauce

Every Fall I go into this little crazy nesting phase, where I want to preserve and freeze everything. Do you do that? Homemade applesauce is one of those things that just changes my world. Seriously, maybe not my world, but it is yummy! We have a little orchard near our cabin, and every autumn I […]

Handmade Lavender Pillows

Last summer, I bought scoops and scoops of dried lavender from my friend Audrey at 1824 Walker Farmhouse to make little lavender pillows. Not only do they smell wonderful, they are lovely to give as little presents. The thought of reusing worn fabrics to make something sweet in this disposable world is very pleasing to […]
