I’ve been wishing for a flea market locally for about a year now. We have pop up markets in the summer but nothing year round. I decided that instead of pining away for a nonexistent local market I could use my dormant Etsy shop for my creative outlet.
Oh and a new addition to the shop: Thing 1. Known elsewhere as The Lowest Pickle, she’s got some of her stickers and jewelry listed.
Head over to Bearthangel on Etsy and check it out. Sign up for notifications when we post new items!
We scored two boxes of tomatoes at Country Foods last Friday. So Cletus and I canned them up today. We ended up with 8 qt jars and 4 pint jars, so 10 qts total volume. They look so pretty, like jars full of little red jewels.
I pressure canned these since I used quart jars. Takes less water and processing time. 10# for 10 minutes as opposed to 45 minutes in a water bath. If I had only a few pints I would have water bathed them. I used this post as a reminder about processing times and such.
Home canned tomatoes just taste so much better. And you know we’ll be having some meatballs and tomato gravy before she goes back home!
This has been a bountiful year all around. I’m so thankful for the variety that’s stocking our pantry this year.

I love moose.
They are so goofy looking.
Such majestic large creatures.
They taste great too!
In trying to perfect my moose calling skills for hunting season, I’ve been watching YouTube how to videos. Then I stumbled across this, The Best Moose Documentary Ever!
It really is!
It’s about a Russian moose farm and is quite thorough in moose life cycles, habits, behavior and full of tons of cute little baby moosies.
Watch it some evening!
