Shop in Robin’s Nest to find Simba!

Meet Ann from Ann’s Ice Cream and Sno-Cone Shop and Lila.  Ann, I have spoken of in previous blogs.  She is a lovely lady and I have such a great time with her.  Our friendship has grown during these past summer months.  Nesting By Robin’s tent sits next to her shop and believe me, Angie, (my daughter) and I have enjoyed our share of ice cream.  She sells the best ice cream (Hershey’s) and more flavors of sno-cones in all of Fayetteville.  The Cappuccino Crunch is my recommendation for ice cream.  Can we say AWESOME!  Lila is a great lady.  She had heard me on the radio this past Saturday and came to check out our booth.  She was so sweet.  She pulled up a chair and sat with me for two hours in 90 degree weather keeping me company.  We learned a great deal of one another during those two hours.  I truly hope she will come visit again.

While we ladies were having a great time chit chatting and I was waiting for my daughter to return, we heard of a horrible auto accident not far from our location.  I became alarmed when I had learned my daughter was driving back around the time the accident occurred by the bridge.  God was so good, another friend of mine from church stopped by the booth and told me she saw Angie out directing traffic by the accident.  She was not involved in the accident but had witnessed it.

Another active four hours on Nesting By Robin’s favorite corner.  I love setting up the booth because I never know what God has in store during the time we are there.  I do know special friends are being made.  Until the next time, may God bestow upon you abundant blessings.

Aren’t they beautiful?

It seems time has gotten away from me since my last post with all of you.  August and September are busy months in my household.  Lots of birthdays, anniversaries, school, dance classes and soccer have filled the days on the calendar.  After thought, the remainder of the year is going to be busy as I am sure it is the same for you.

My husband and I have been on the highways and byways quite a bit as of late.  Because I am Type A, I’ve always thought of the time sitting and riding as a passenger was time that I could be accomplishing something.  Doesn’t matter if we are in a car, airplane or train, to me that is idle time.  Because of this I always bring along, (but not limited to) a bag filled with yarn and crochet hooks.  This possible askew thinking in the crochet world means I am a true “hooker.”  I love the feel and texture of yarn sliding through my fingers working into a finished project with different sized hooks.  What is even more fun to me is taking scrap yarn and creating something colorfully wonderful.  This could be a pillow, stuffed animal, tote bag, bowl, basket, rug, scarf and hats.  The possibilities are endless.

Okay, I went off on a bunny trail envisioning new project ideas.  My point to all of this is during these past couple of weeks while riding in a car, I have been making hats, hats and more hats.  While hats have a specific usefulness, they clearly are used as a fashion statement.  So for fun, I have posted a picture along with this blog a few that I have completed.  What’s even more fun are the requests for a pumpkin, reindeer, Minnie/Mickey Mouse and a couple of team spirit slouch hats.  As my husband and I continue traveling to various events, I will be working on these hats.  Until the next post, have a blessed day! ~ Robin

Hope to see you there!

My daughter and I had set up Nesting By Robin’s booth yesterday.  Another wonderful day of ministry and building new relationships along with sales was to be had.  It was such a delight speaking with EMS personnel, military wives, artists in our community, Ann from the ice cream shop, and finally two young women and the witnesses to a horrible auto accident that happened in front of us.  I’m not sure if we are a ministry on the corner or Nesting By Robin on the corner.  Whichever it is, I know God was there and it works.

When you give that wonderful gift of listening and genuinely show them that you care what they have to say.  Something special begins to happen.  Kindness, gratitude, sharing stories, truth and love.  Every man, woman and child wants to know they are special and loved.  It doesn’t cost us anything just a little of our time.

I knew something special was going to happen when the opportunity opened for Nesting By Robin to be on that corner.  Just didn’t know what it was going to be. I know now it has been one of my greatest experiences watching and seeing this tapestry of God’s children spending time at a small booth on the corner.

Yesterday my daughter and I had set up Nesting By Robin’s booth on our favorite corner.  We were prepared to focus on sales, however God’s plans were different.  We were busy with a few sales, but also busy encountering people ready to experience death or just experienced a loss.  A family member, a friend or someone special.  I was so moved as I listened, helped to find a vet for a precious dog that needed to be put to sleep and selling a wreath to have placed on the door of a soldier.  God was right there covering his children with love and kindness.  My daughter and I were so blessed to help and serve.  Our prayers go up for them…

This little slugger is all snuggled in his “Batter Up” blanket.  He received it as a birthday gift and was so excited!  You, too can have one made for your “little or big” slugger in their favorite team colors.  You will find this in Robin’s Nest with starting price for a twin size.  Need an idea for a Christmas gift?

Sweet dreams Slugger!
