One Blessed Acre

Blessings Come From All Things

One Blessed Acre began when my family returned to my home town in Northern California after my husband retired from the Air Force so that we could be closer to my parents.

I love all things country. One day my father sent home some burlap that he had obtained at a local flea market with my husband. He gave him specific instructions for me to create something with it. My rather large farm table needed something rustic to dress it up, so out of some slightly dusty burlap came the first ruffled burlap table runner.

Now, taking my creation one step further, I enjoy searching for new ways to turn "slightly dusty" burlap into beautiful country décor.

Three years ago, we added two Nubian goats to our farm with the intent of drinking the milk, wanting to be more self-sufficient with our homesteading lifestyle. Out of that milking came lots of excess milk for soaps and lotions. Once I began looking at the labels on beauty products I quickly realized the need to have more natural products for my family to use. I love being able to create different scented soaps and lotions and have found recently that I have an addiction to fragrance oils.
