Here is a recent of Mary (my little lamb). She is my bottle baby and she is growing up so fast. I think that she is soo sweet!

Our New Space inside The Flower Nook

TheSpeckledGoose — Tue, 01 May 2012 19:49:49 +0000

I told you that there are lots of changes lately around here. Huckleberry Marketplace in Old Town Erie, CO has moved inside Lafayette Flea Market & Collectibles, and The Flower Nook has moved.

What does that have to do with us you ask? Well, The Flower Nook moved inside 502 E. Briggs St, Erie, and we are now located inside The Flower Nook. Now you can purchase fresh flowers, and plants, along with our gifts and home decor.

We are excited to be partnered up with a flower shop. It is beautiful inside with all the flowers, and our treasures.

Check out some of our new items inside The Flower Nook!

Be sure when you’re in Erie, Co stop by The Flowe Nook and say “hi” to Chrissy and the gang. They are a great group of gals that are happy to help.

Have a great day!

More Changes are coming!

TheSpeckledGoose — Tue, 01 May 2012 16:06:31 +0000

Many new changes are coming to The Speckled Goose again, and YES, they are all for the good. I am so excited about all of the changes that are happening around here.

At The Speckled Goose inside Noble Treasures you’ll notice that I have taken on more space, and expanded a little. Things are going well at Noble Treasures. You will find more handcrafted aprons, cookbooks, new candle fragrances, and lots of garden decor. I have also ordered lots of handcrafted, made in the USA fall and Christmas decor from some wonderful crafters.

You will also notice that I will be there more often each week. Yes, I’ll be working 5 days a week now. I am excited about this change. Starting May 1st, Jeannine and I will be the faces of Noble Treasures. Jeannine and I have the same passion for this business, and we work well together.

I am excited about these new changes, and hope to see you soon at The Speckled Goose, inside Noble Treasures.

Live Eagle Cams

TheSpeckledGoose — Tue, 27 Mar 2012 20:01:39 +0000

Are you all watching the live eagle cams? Babies are already hatching, and some are getting ready. Get out there and watch you some live eagle cameras. This is such a wonderful learning experience!

I for one, can not get enough of these live cameras. It is such a great experience to watch these live wild animals through the process each year.

One of my favorite -

Proof that Spring has Sprung @ The Dumdi Ranch

TheSpeckledGoose — Tue, 27 Mar 2012 19:42:02 +0000

Well I told you a while back that spring sprung at the ranch, but now I have pictures to show you the proof of all the spring going on at the ranch. This is a brand new set of twins this morning. They are not even totally cleaned off yet.

This is a picture of Mary (yes, Mary the little lamb). Mary’s mother had a pair of twins and for some reason isn’t too keen on taking care of her, so we are bottle feeding her. She is drinking approx 12 oz of milk replacer every 4 hours. Right now she is sleeping as she already had her breakfast bottle!

And this picture is of Lil Red. Lil Red’s mom died during the birthing process, and the mom we have her with lost both of her twins, so we are trying to graft the two of them. Lil Red thinks mom is pretty special, but she is not sure yet.

Well back to work – have a great afternoon, and I’ll post more pics later!

Today’s Inspirational Quote

TheSpeckledGoose — Wed, 14 Mar 2012 16:30:32 +0000

…Attitude to me is more important than facts. It is more important than the past, than education, than money, than circumstances, than failures, than success, than what other people think, say or do. It is more important than appearance, gift, or skill. It will make or break a company…a church…a home. The remarkable thing is we have a choice every day regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day…I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and 90% how I react to it. And so it is with you… we are in charge of our attitudes.
