War Eagle Mill

Have you ever baked your own bread? How about some Buckwheat pancakes or Blue cornbread? If you would like to give it a try I have a great place for you to order Organic flours, cornmeal and many other delicious goodies. According to their website, "War Eagle Mill's history begins with the story of a tenacious pioneer couple, Sylvanus and Katherine Blackburn, who understood the importance of fresh, natural food in the lives of families as far back as 1832 when the first mill was built."
I get the pleasure of visiting the three story mill and shopping for my goods in person. We usually try to make a stop at the Bean Palace restaurant that overlooks the War Eagle river. However, if you aren't going to be in the Northwest Arkansas area anytime soon, they'll send you a free catalog! The surrounding property that the mill sits on is also the location of a huge craft fair twice a year. My son and I counted license plates from 20+ states in the fall.
Just thought you would like to know about this unique location that is steeped in history and offers some great products for a healthy lifestyle also!

War Eagle Craft Fair Time!

Woo Hoo! There were crazy, crafty ladies all over the area. Cars full of giggling women with cash at hand. It was a ton of fun. The fair is held on the grounds of an old mill. People come from all over to shop. My son and I found 21 different state license plates. There must be at least 1,000 vendors. One booth in particular stood out to me. Check it out. She has the most adorable soldered charms and jewelry. I'm hooked. I've already ordered a book to direct my new hobby. Will you join me? Check out Tommi's great website at www.TommiCrystaldesigns.com and her fun Halloween goodies! (but first leave me a comment!)
