busy as a beehive cottage bee
I have a hunch that you may already know Maryjane from The Beehive Cottage. She is the most inspiring, energetic, warm and generous sweetie. Did I mention busy? Maryjane has 11 grandchildren, a vintage trailer for fly fishing trips and she even makes her own laundry detergent!
If all of this didn't keep her busy enough, Maryjane has just started a 2nd blog named in honor of her mother and grandmothers. It's called SweetSassySadieLee and will feature recipes, crafts, homemaking skills, home dècor and more! There's also a 2nd Etsy shop with the same name!
The photos included in this post are gifts I just received from busy bee Maryjane. She knows I love the banners that she makes and sells in her Etsy shops and asked me what kind I would like. I chose a birthday banner and it is so full of beautiful detail. She also surprised me with a bag of her sweetly scented homemade laundry detergent (!) and adorably stamped envelopes! I just love that little Maryjane, I call her my Fairyblogmother.
Okay, now while my boys are busy playing I am going to attempt some blog-hopping!

Elyse! Such sweet gifts and a great trip to the Cape! Lorraine was at Ruffles and Rose in Chatham when I stopped by on Monday. She is a sweetie and her linens...oh my! I missed Lizzie though so I'm glad to read your post on her shop. Lovely!!! I'll have to happily head out on the fabulous route 6A again.

Hello! Thanks for popping over to my blog!! Yours is lovely! I could just rest my eyes here for some sweet serenity.
I'm actually off to the Cape this week. Heading to Chatham, one of my favorite areas. Can't wait. Your pics made me very excited.

such sweet and beautiful things - and I love your photos too.
p.s. I have an award for you on my bloggy blog!
I love the quilt that's shown in the last picture with Mary Jane's envelopes, I think. Could you tell me where I could find one like it? Thanks!
