A new face at Shamble Ramble

Those logging onto the site may’ve noticed a change…we have a model showing off some of our looks as we begin the first step of several to change Shamble Ramble for the better. We’d like to introduce you to a few who are helping to make that happen.

The woodland maiden

Jerika is her name she is a radiant red head who like us is a Jane of all trades. Jerika is a model, gym teacher, and talented painter. When me and Nicole first decided to shoot our woodland fairy collection with another model we found out working with live people could be a challenge. Weather and schedule changes nearly thwarted our effects and then we had to find a new model and that’s when we found Jerika.

Hailing from Middletown, PA, she was gracious to volunteer to be our woodland fairy model on very short notice, she loved the idea of the project and between me, Nicole, the photographer Adriane, and Jerika we pulled together some great looks. Jerika showed her versatility and became a huntress, fairy, and fairytale maiden all in one day and she did it all while being mobbed by mosquitoes!

The woodland spot we chose was perfect for the setting but the mosquitoes were a whole nother thing! They were completely unhappy with our presence and showed it! But both Jerika and our photographer Adriane owner of Wraven Design were up for the task, they struck back with professionalism mixed with a bit of humor to brave our unwanted fans!

The Wraven arrives:

Our magic maker of the day was Adriane she’s the owner and photographer of Wraven Design right here in Lemoyne, PA! Her home based studio is not far off of Market Street and is easy to get to. She’s done photographs for weddings, bands, students, along with boudoir and gothic, we loved her portfolio and knew she’d do well with our new look.

Adriane volunteered her camera, time, and talent along with dresses, and corset for Jerika’s look. She was unfazed by the mosquitoes as her eyes stayed trained on her subject, her hands were steady as our enemies swarmed around and bit by the end of the day our talented duo won the day with some great photos!

With all the delays leading up to our woodland shoot Adriane was able to adapted quickly and adjust her own schedule fast to insure we’d finish this project with success! Thanks to both Jerika and Adriane we have great new photos for our site!

Adriane of Wraven Design and Jerika our model were great and gracious for helping us with a new direction for Shamble Ramble and they’re both looking for new adventures for their trades:

New Craft fair for October!

We're very exited to be able to attend the Willow Mills Craft Fair in Mechanicsburg! Sense we moved we are still getting use to what is happening in our new area and hearing of Willows Mills we had to join being able to attend a local craft fair was always something me and Nicole wanted to do.

The craft fair will be held Saturday October 1st in the Willow Mill Park located on 80 Willow Mill Park Rd., Mechanicsburg, PA, 17050. the hours will be 10am - 4pm rain or shine. It is free for parking and for admittance!

As fall and colder weather approaches we're making tons of stuff more then we can photograph and list! We're also working on revamping the site a bit and giving it a new look (if it all works out!). Having a foot injury has allowed me time to do what I love, spend more time with my family, and try some new recipes as well!

One of my most favorite recipes is called Blessing of the Bird we nick named it Bird soup but it's delicious and combine it with Italian bread and butter and it's even better! We've been working on variations of it at our home for some time and are getting real close to having it suit our family best! The original recipe is tasty but we wanted it to have more rice so it was more filling!

We discovered this little treasure from the Mary Janes Farm magazine and have altered it slightly to make it the most yummiest dinner for our large family!

Original instructions - (what we did)

Saute 1 diced onion, 2 diced celery stalks, 2 carrots, and 2 garlic cloves, place in large pot with 3T butter.

Next add 8 cups of turkey stock ( we use Swanson turkey broth and add four 32oz boxes), 1 cup brown sugar, and wild rice mix (we use Uncle Ben's long wild Rice 2 is a decent amount but sense we want it heartier we use 3! Also trying different wild rices from different companies will change the soups flavor!) and finally add in 2T of fresh parsley (we don't), bring all this to a boil, then reduce the heat place a lid on it and let simmer for 1hour.

Then add 4 cups of diced turkey (or you can use chicken breast cook a bit, shred it, then add it to the soup) cook for 5 minets. Add salt and peper till taste.
