WE GOT MAIL

Posted by Anais

The Little Homestead in the City calendar arrived -  FINALLY!

Looks great and pictures of the animals are just too cute, and the garden – well you are going to have to see for yourself.

For those of you who ordered a LHITC calendar they will be coming to you VERY soon. We are very sorry for the delay but wanted to check the calendar out for ourselves before shipping them out.

To be honest, I am disappointed in how few we’ve sold and in myself for waiting so late in the year to offer these calendars.   My fault! Oh well, guess one of my hopesolutions just didn’t pan out.

So for those of you who did order – THANK YOU (for every calendar our non profit “profited” $6.00) and here’s a tip on how to recycle these pictorial calendars after the year’s out.

And once again sorry for the delay, but all calendars should be received within the next  7-14 days. `

2010 URBAN HOMESTEADING CALENDAR!

Looking for something to inspire you (and others) throughout 2010?

Buy a beautiful calendar of stunning nature and simple living photos–and be encouraged to grow more of your own food! Plus you’ll be supporting an important work of educating others how to be more self-sufficient.

The calendar is a wall calendar, and each month has a different picture. Some months have a group of pictures. The pictures are of nature and simple living topics and reflect the seasons of the year to a certain extent.

Hi! Thank you so much for these lovely calendars. They look beautiful. I love that tip for recycling old calendars. As homeschoolers I am always looking for neat (and cheap) art projects.
You have inspired our family in so many ways. We enjoy hearing about what is going on at the farm and seeing the pictures.
Looking forward to recieving my calendar.
Take care and God Bless.
