My quest in creating and posting one block a day of the fabulous That Town And Country Quilt by the lovely Susan Claire. For a gallery index showing every block in the quilt in chronological order, click here.
My grandfather, Louis Yager (who I adored), started Granby Drug in the 1940s. He had served in the war and when he enlisted his occupation was listed as a druggist. He had taken a course that lasted several weeks and became qualified (imagine that!) He was discharged in 1942, so it was after that when he began Granby Drug.
She was actually the Coroner for Grand County in 1904 and investigated many of the deaths associated with the construction of the Moffat tunnel. She tended to a range of patients and medical conditions including childbirth, skiing injuries, and particularly pneumonia during the 1918 flu pandemic.
When my son who farms told me 11 years ago they were going to use cloth diapers, I said “Are you sure?” Thinking how much work it was and knowing how super busy they are.
They carry toys that encourage “making up your own story”. Handmade kitchens for aspiring chefs. Hobby horses for the little ones who watch westerns with their grandpas. Duplo blocks abound, and of course Legos too. Tops and kites. Trains and easels for the young engineer and artists. Costumes that are made from thrift store treasures by the store owner. Little girls especially like the “fancy hats”.
Shopping for girl clothes is a novelty for our family. She’s 5 now and the clothes keep getting cuter. I only had sons and now I have 5 grandsons and her. She is a hoot. Quite the fashionista she may change her ensemble several times a day.
This is the flower half of Frocks and Flowers. In the real world both halves are in the same building. A really cool historical building called The Anderson Building. When Dana’s husband was a little boy he would walk by the building every day and think that someday he would own it and now he does!
This lovely little dress shop is owned by the same person that owns the flower shop in tomorrow’s block. It’s called Frocks and Flowers. I especially like the little blue dress in the window. Of course, making it look like a purse is a cute touch too.
There are ladybugs and lots of different kinds of flowers, fairies with full skirts, and gnomes with pointed hats. There is an amazing array of mushrooms too, polka dot ones and airbrushed beauties.
This store carries all kinds of menswear but specializes in KILTS! Dress kilts, hiking kilts and utility kilts with cargo pockets for carrying your important stuff.
