Hello everyone,
How are you all doing? I haven't been around here for awhile as I spent an unexpected week in the hospital and just got home last evening. I am feeling good as new now and am so happy to be back home!
Today,I want to share with you a little information about Novica a company that features artisans from Third World countries that sent me this beautiful hammock to review on my blog.I have always loved these hammocks with the lacy trim and was happy to learn that though Novica these talented artisans can earn a living. They do not just make hammocks but clothing,jewelry and things for the home too so I hope you will take a few minutes and check them out.
Soft cotton threads are patiently hand-woven into a spacious hammock. Utilizing ancestral techniques, skilled artisans create this beautiful work and adorn its edges with long fringe, crocheted and knotted by hand. From Maya Artists of the Yucatan, its twin stretchers are carved from pinewood.

Thank you to those of you who sent emails expressing concern over my absence. In a couple of days I should be back into the swing of things.
Have a lovely weekend,
Carolyn

Dear Carolyn!
Thank God, you're back! I was worrying what could happened to you... I hope you are healthy again and feel good. I think I'm not the only one who missed your posts very much!
In Hungary spring has already arrived with 15 degrees today, I hope soon you can try your beaufiful new lacy hammock!
With lots of love, Andrea from Hungary
Sorry to hear you have been in hospital. Glad you are back with us again and feeling better.
You have done a fantastic job of photographing the hammock for them. It looks very inviting and your cushions compliment it so well.
So glad you are home and on the mend! Lovely hammock. Looks like just the thing to rest and recouperate in.
Carolyn
I've been so worried about you! After a few days of your absence, I started praying that you and your family were all well. I'm sure your other blog friends have been doing the same.
Take care of yourself as you recuperate. You certainly want to be hale and hearty for spring, which really is right around the corner.
In Tennessee, the Bradford Pear trees are in full bloom, the Japanese Maple is just beginning to unfurl its red leaves, and the first tips of color are showing on the azaleas.
Blessings to all of you!

I'm glad you are okay, Carolyn! I had one of those unexpected trips to the hospital a few years ago ~ appendicitis! I was in the hospital for 3 1/2 days and had to recuperate for 2 weeks at home. I hope you are taking it easy.
WELCOME HOME!
Your absense was truly missed.
So glad you are back on the mend.
That hammock is just the perfect thing for convelescence....wish you were having our 70 degree weather right now to be lounging outdoors.
Won't be long.
So glad you're back.
Carolyn,
I am glad you are back and hope you are feeling better. Home is the best place to be.
Love the hammock too.

Donna

Hello Carolyn
Glad everything is fine now; it won't be long before you can enjoy that gorgeous hammock. We've had weather in the 16-18 degree range and it is supposed to continue well into next week.
A pleasant surprise, this early spring.
Keep well.
Judith
Oh I'm sorry you were sick. Glad you are home, and take care so you fully recover. I was hoping you were somewhere exciting like savannah or charleston!
The hammock will be a wonderful addition to your already lovely garden. I can't wait to see what it will look like when you share pictures of it when all your flowers are in bloom. Wishing you a speedy recovery and hope you are doing well in the meantime. Have a wonderful weekend.
Hello Carolyn! WOW! I thought you might be away on a vacation. Never did I even DREAM of you being in the hospital. Ohhhhhh, dear, I HOPE everything is okay. We would never want you to be ill.
Take good care, okay?
At first I thought the hammock was from Central America....they have similar ones there and quite gorgeous, too.
Carolyn, I'm so glad you are OKAY! Susan
Hello, and sorry to hear about your trip to the hospital. We are all very glad you are back home where you can get some rest :)
The hammock looks so inviting. You could always send it here.....it's been in the 70's lately. ;)
Take care,
Carol
I'm glad you are home and on the mend!!!! Take care of yourself.
Carolyn, I'm sorry to hear of your hospital stay but I'm glad you're home and well now. I thought maybe you were on a vacation down south when I hadn't seen you post lately. This hammock is really pretty even in the snow. Have a good weekend and take care. Blessings, Pamela
I have never laid around in a hammock myself why well maybe it's because I am a big woman and would find it difficult to lay in a hammock without falling out.
Oh I wanted to say I am glad you're back been wondering where you have been.
Glad to have you back...hope you are feeling better...love the beautiful hammock..so pretty
Hi Carolyn,
I too was wondering where you were. I thought perhaps you had gone away on a short trip. Glad you're home and feeling better. That is a beautiful hammock! It won't be long and you will be able to use it. Hope you have a nice weekend.
Blessings,
Sandi
Carolyn: I wondered where you were. I really miss your beautiful mosiacs and other photos. Glad you are feeling better and will be back "in the swing" so to speak, soon..Judy
Carolyn, I am glad you are feeling better. Take care!~Hugs, Patti
Hi Carolyn,
I'm glad you're feeling better! That hammock is very lovely!
Blessings,
~Wendy
I was worried about you, too, Carolyn - and just thought that you were away on vacation, girlie! I'm so sorry to hear that you were sick! I'm glad that you're back home and feeling better. You'll be swinging away on that sweet hammock soon, I hope! It's been absolutely fabulously springlike down here! :)
xoxo laurie
I'm so so glad that you are back on your blog again!
Hello Carolyn I am glad you are doing better.. I was concerned about your absence too. The hammocks are beautiful! Thank you for sharing..
Wanda
Oh no...sorry to hear this. Hospitals are not where we want to be..glad you are back home and doing better. Nice looking hammock. Wish I had tree's to have one of these. It looks so comfy!
I have only recently found your blog and it is the most beautiful I have seen. I am glad you are ok. You bring the pulse of Heaven to us all with your creativity and grace. I was selfishly concerned because I am due to have major surgery 4/11/12, with 6 to 8 weeks of recovery, and was looking forward to daily jaunts to your joyful place to speed my health. (I was concerned you had stopped blogging.) I am praying for your complete restoration. You are a delightful influence and impact.

I missed your posts.
I wish you a good recovery !
It's good to hear you're okay, Carolyn. I hope your strength is back soon!
I'm so sorry to hear that you've been unwell, I'd noticed your absence but thought perhaps you were busy in your garden:) Glad that you are recovering now anyway. Take care.
Welcome back! We missed you and your creative and lovely world we are so lucky to visit. I do hope all is well with you.
Please come visit Lady B and me for a little Irish cheer at: http://www.ladybstimefortea.blogspot.com/
Be well!
I am so sorry to hear you were in the hospital. I was wondering where you were. The hammock is so lovely and i like the woven edge. We have a special hammock in our area called The Pawleys Island Hammock but I think the one your displaying here is prettier. Hope you are feeling better and take care.
Hugs~Clara
Oh Carolyn! I thought you were on a short holiday with your daughters or Andrew! I am happy to hear you are feeling better. Hope you haven't been in very much pain.
Luckily you are home in time for spring! Enjoy the high temperatures and please take care!
Lieve groetjes & happy weekend,
Madelief xox
So sorry to hear about your hospital stay, Carolyn. Good to see you back.
The hammock is absolutely beautiful!
Glad to hear that you are doing fine. Was concerned that it was so silent at your part.
Just lovely this hammock. Wish I hade some trees to hang one here.
Hope you have a good day.
Love Elzie
I'm glad you're back, too. I missed you and thought perhaps you were off vacationing somewhere. I doubt you would consider a hospital stay a vacation, unless you were a mother with six kids at home still.:)
I love the hammock from Novica. I ordered a couple of things from them last year,with a gift code that they sent me. But a $40 order ended up costing me $100, due to shipping and handling. I hope this has not been your experience. On top of that the zipper broke on the purse that i got from them before I could even do a give-away with it. So the next time they asked me to review something, I kindly declined.
Hopefully your snow will be gone soon and the warm winds will blow and you'll get to enjoy the outdoor hammock.
Hugs, Cindy
So sorry to hear you have been in the hospital, glad to know you are home safe and sound. your hammock is gorgeous.
Contente de vous retrouver ! J'espère que vous allez bien maintenant.

You were missed. Wishing you a speedy recovery. I suggest many cups of tea while you rest up. :) The hammock and the fluffy white snow, what a lovely peaceful setting. Dreamy photo. Thanks for your blog.
Good to know that you are doing well. Stay healthy!!
Bienvenue à la maison Carolyn, I'm glad you came back to your lovely home. ✿◕ ‿ ◕✿
I'm so sorry to hear you were in the hospital but I am glad to hear you are feeling better now.
The hammock is lacy and lovely. So very pretty and soon it will be spring and the perfect place for a nice afternoon nap. I know your beautiful granddaughters are especially going to love it.
Take care of yourself and continue to feel better.
Carolyn, espero que esteja tudo bem com você. Estava realmente preocupada e pedindo a Deus pela sua família e torcendo para que fosse um problema com o computador. Graças a Deus, apesar de ter adoecido está tudo bem!
Se cuide e melhoras.
Lauriane com muito carinho.
So glad you're back Carolyn! I hope everything is okay and that you are as good as new.
I love the beautiful hammock AND your pictures of it!
hugs...
Welcome back, Carolyn! Such great news that you are feeling yourself again. And that hammock looks so inviting, even in the snow. Lovely of you to share it. Do take care. – g
I hope it was nothing too serious Carolyn.
That hammock is so precious...I wonder if they ship to Italy...ùùFra
