Hello, and happy Thursday! It's hot. I've been do danged lazy today, it's sad... but who wants to be all active in this kind of heat? Not this old gal! Anyway, I digress... earlier today I posted on our Facebook page that I would provide a 20% off voucher code to the first 10 people who commented in the same thread. Then I went to "private message" the code to the gals who commented only to find I couldn't send a private message to some of them! Must have to do with their individual Facebook settings. At any rate, I decided, what the heck, it's kind of our "grand re-opening time" anyway, and frankly, I could use some orders! So I set up that voucher code for 20% off and just posted it on our Facebook page. Anyone can use it.
Soooo, to take it a step further, here's that code. When you shop at Farm Country Comforts, enter HAPPYSAVE in the "voucher" field in the shopping cart (just below the "Comments" field), then click "Recalculate." You'll get a 20% discount on your entire purchase (except shipping)! Pretty good deal, yes? The caveats: Please only use this code once per person/household, and, you'll need to use it before it expires, which will be at the end of August (so just a couple of weeks to use it!).
Happy Shopping! :-)

Introductions
Greetings! I'm Jodi Miller Farm, owner of Farm Country Comforts. I've actually been a presence on the Web for awhile now, having started my first web site back in 1995. My current site is a new name for two previous sites, Autumn Comforts and Hannah's PinKeep. Various reasons led me to consolidate those two sites, and Farm Country Comforts offers the types of products that were found on both my previous sites, plus some additional wares. You'll find my own hand-crafted quilts, rag quilts, and quilted goods; hooked and crocheted rugs; dolls, ornies, tucks, prairie bonnets, and more; candles, scented melts, and tinware (melters and candle holders); quilt-shop-quality fabrics, patterns, and needlework supplies; certified-organic garden seeds; and other decor, gifts, and supplies for gardening and homesteading; a little something for every country gal, or country gal at heart.
I live in Bend, Oregon with my husband of 32 years. We have two sons in their 20s who live in the Portland/Vancouver area. Some day, we'll be able to get dear hubby retired and move back to the valley ourselves, and live closer to our family. We also have 2 spoiled rotten Shetland sheepdogs, 2 ornery Maine Coon cats who own the house, and a 50-gallon aquarium full of tropical fishes. And, we have a nice coop (which I won in a drawing!) and 4 laying hens.
Besides being an artisan, I'm also an avid (okay, rabid!) gardener. Although we're currently stuck in suburgatory, I am now up to 7 raised garden beds, plus plenty of pots (because all those 4' x 8' beds just weren't enough!). I started my first vegetable garden 5 years ago, and I am hopelessly addicted! I am firmly convinced that there is absolutely nothing in this world better than organic, home-grown vegetables and fruits. Nothing! Well, maybe one or two things... but they're right up there near the top of the list! At any rate, I love my gardening projects, and I do have a green thumb, if I do say so myself. And this year, we added the chickens (who have a startling degree of individual personality... and are incredibly fun to observe!), and I've taken up canning... also pathetically addicted! There is absolutely nothing better than opening the pantry and seeing all those pretty jars of food you put up yourself! Oh, right... almost nothing better!
At any rate... I also love making quilts, candles, and just about anything else I can make myself. I made my first quilt back in high school for a (here's where I really show my age) Bicentennial class project. Yes, I was 16 years old in 1976. There, got that over with! Anyway, since then, I've made hundreds of quilts, and I so enjoy the feeling of finishing up a quilt or other project as well as the responses I get from my customers and others when they see a new listing for one of my little crafty projects. And as I'm most assuredly a bit OCD, I can't ever settle on just one or two types of crafts; I make quilts, dolls, cross-stitch samplers, rugs, candles, and more. I used to be a voracious crocheter. I still do some, but since I developed psoriatic arthritis about 9 years ago, the old hands and fingers don't work like they used to. I can still do it; I just have to take frequent breaks and give these gnarly old hands a rest.
I suppose I've prattled on enough about myself to bore the life out of most anyone. At any rate, thank you for visiting with me. Future plans for this blog will include, of course, announcements and updates about new listings at my web site, as well as informational articles on gardening and other topics near and dear to me, tutorials, recipes, and hopefully other interesting and informative content which I hope will be enjoyed by all who find themselves here.
I look forward to visiting with you all.
