We had a very enjoyable Father's Day Service last week. Thank you to those who brought food, decorated the tables, and shared in any way. It was all very nice.
Also last Sunday, Don came to church sharing these little flower hollyhock dolls he had made. Are they not just precious?!
What a joy when others share, thank you Don!
I can remember mom, aunts, and grandmothers showing me at one time or another, how to make them. This little hollyhock doll in particular I just fell in love with, and he kindly said I could take it home. It brought back such fond memories, so much so, I just had to put words to paper.
Thank you again Don for sharing the sweet little flower dolls, and for the memories and inspiration they brought!

Old churches must not simply stand as monuments to the past but as spiritual grandparents that have invested in the future by passing on their life to others and releasing their offspring to form new congregations. ~ unknown

Leaving with you a little dose of cuteness. Have a great week! Perhaps we should wear our smiles along with a wreath of flowers. What do you think?! :)
