Our Gift Basket Winner Announced

On behalf of the members of the Old Farmhouse Gathering, I would like to extend our sincere apologies for the delay in announcing the winner of our Holiday Gift Basket here on our blog. On Thanksgiving Day our group founder and leader, Linda Foster (Prairie Rose), passed away from a sudden heart attack. We lost not only a leader and Artisan within our group, but a close friend and sister to all of us whose warmth and compassion made the Farmhouse a place we could all call "home".
Your light will forever shine in the Farmhouse....
and our hearts.
In loving memory of our dear Praire Rose
In our determination to keep this group moving forward in Linda's honor we have re-grouped over the past week and will continue to move forward and we sincerely hope you will follow along with us.
And now to announce the winner of our Holiday Gift Basket Giveaway.
The winner is... Jill from northern Illinois! Congratulations Jill! You can visit Jill at her blog "Back Home Again" and congratulate her too.
Blessings from all of us at the Farmhouse!
