We've just happened to discover it one day on the shelf of our library. We (my children and I) were mesmerized! A pizza garden?? too cool!<BR/>Anyway, we've checked it out multiple times and have recently decided that we need our very own copy. <BR/><BR/>So glad to know you are blogging. Thank you for authoring such a wonderful book. I believe that one of the greatest gifts I can give my little ones is a rich experience and a deep connection with the beautiful creation that surrounds us each and every day. I'm so thankful when resources like your book come along!<BR/><BR/>Take care,<BR/>AbbieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8434499602695302521.post-50819267817595257422008-11-06T20:26:00.000-08:002008-11-06T20:26:00.000-08:00Your kitchen is wonderful!

Yours are wonderful.

I gave the ...This is a response to Nan's questions. I gave the wood cabinets a light sanding (I think I used a sanding sponge), then I filled the screw holes from the removed cabinet doors. I primed and used two coats of Benjamin Moore semi-gloss latex. Send me an e-mail (jeff@sharnlovejoy.com) and I can look up and send you the color code and specifics. The sink is from Vermont Soapstone. If we nick it, we use 80 grid sandpaper and smooth it out. We use an inexpensive olive oil to seal the surface and eliminate water spots. I don't believe it comes in white, but if it did, it would show water spots and drips. The black is very forgiving. We can put hot iron skillets right from the fire onto the surface.<BR/><BR/>JeffSharon Lovejoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04321160956925191137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8434499602695302521.post-15179946534407946612008-10-27T07:36:00.000-07:002008-10-27T07:36:00.000-07:00I just found your wonderful blog, and will be back...I just found your wonderful blog, and will be back to visit. I have a couple questions. Did you strip or sand off the varnish on the cupboards first or just paint over it? What kind of paint - gloss? semi-gloss? flat? <BR/><BR/>And that black sink! I love it but have wondered if it might show cracks and mars more than a white one??<BR/><BR/>What color is that blue?Nanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15547916206007733970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8434499602695302521.post-75649636805770057052008-10-25T10:43:00.000-07:002008-10-25T10:43:00.000-07:00Hello Sharon ~We met many years ago when you had H...Hello Sharon ~<BR/>We met many years ago when you had Heart's Ease. <BR/>My sister and I would come to your Christmas workshops.

Jeff cleaned all the connections and tested all the lines. <BR/><BR/>This year we had trouble with the oven, but haven't had the time to re work it yet. So, we purchased a small oven, which does a great job. Next summer Augustine will get a work over.<BR/><BR/>SharonSharon Lovejoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04321160956925191137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8434499602695302521.post-16156920407919812862008-10-08T09:45:00.000-07:002008-10-08T09:45:00.000-07:00Sharon, your kitchen is beautiful!
