Weekend Links: Canning Week wrap-up & giveaway winners
The lateness of this weekend link love is indicative of our sloooow summer pace these days. Danny is off work for a two-week stay-cation and I’m thrilled to have him around after feeling continually behind on everything since Clara’s arrival.
Although I joke about giving him the weekend before dropping the ‘To-Do’ list on him, I really hoping he’ll get a chance to relax. As for me, I’m off to Big Summer Potluck on Friday, with Clara in tow. Excited doesn’t even begin to describe how I feel about that meet-up with friends.
Hey, Canning Week was fun! I’m feeling like I have done due diligence with summer fruits and am (deep breath) ready for tomatoes…and apples…and the bounty of fall.
We have a few giveaway winners!

Have a great Sunday, all!
Loved your canning week, Aimée! I was hoping to participate more myself, but I’ve been finding it difficult to keep up with the pace of summer as well. I hope you have lots of fun at BSP next weekend…I’m bummed that I can’t make it this year, but can’t wait to live vicariously through you and your beautiful photos. 🙂
So, nice to hear that your Canning Week has lots of fun and you are enjoying. I like to join yet I am quite busy. By way, congratulations to all the winners on the giveaway.
