Pumpkin Aebleskiver Recipe
I've been volunteering some time at my grange during Apple Festival on GreenBluff where one of the vendors sells the most delicious aebleskivers served with a choice of applesauce and caramel, huckleberry, or boysenberry jam. It got me to thinking that I'd like to...
The Last Bit of Autumn on GreenBluff
It rained today on the bluff. A real settle into your bones sort of chill, along with dark skies that turn day into night. Autumn is trying to have one last stand for the year. The sunflowers are taking this one last stand to heart. I've really loved them so. Good for...
Saying Goodbye to my Childhood Home
I went home to Yreka, California one last time to say good-bye to my childhood home, where we settled after leaving Croy Gulch. My parents have moved into town because they're getting older and can no longer live their primitive lifestyle. We I can't believe it...

IT'S ME, SERENA!
In 2002, I was dreaming of creating a fun and happy little event to sell my vintage and handmade goods. In 2002, I held my first event in my neighbor's barn along with a handful of friends. The sale became wildly popular and began attracting visitors from across the country and recognition in national magazines. Today The Farm Chicks Vintage & Handmade Fair fills the Spokane County Fairgrounds and features hundreds of creatively and carefully curated spaces packed with vintage and handmade goods. Many describe it as a bucket list event, magical, inspirational, and the best event of its kind in the USA. I describe it as the best weekend of the year!
