…the Girlhood must get through.
As some of you know we are helping with my 92-year-old father’s care. It has stretched us where we didn’t know we had room to be stretched, but the Lord is so good. As they say, “The show must go on” or “the mail must go through.”
“Dear Jill, I wanted to let you know that I received my order today. I was so excited when I went to the mailbox and seen my package. It felt just like Christmas! …It was well worth the wait. I can hardly wait to finish my tasks for the day and sit down and enjoy my goodies. Your work is truly a blessing to me and my family. I have also been ordering some of the Tea Cozy’s and I am so excited about them as well. We are making a new tradition of once a month having tea together with my mother, my 11 year old daughter and myself. I am hoping to include my grandmother in some of these and am very excited about four generations of girls sitting down together for tea. All of your items are God sent and I have quite the wish list. May God bless you for the work you are doing. My prayers are with you and your family as you are adjusting to your new life.”

The Girlhood Home Companion’s Mission
It is so wonderful to hear from “our” girls! We know beyond a shadow of a doubt that the Girlhood has a very special mission in their hearts and minds. This lovely note says it all.
Dear Mrs. Novak, Claire, and everyone else at The Girlhood Home Companion
Hi! My name is Abigail… My grandma gave me a gift subscription to the GHC print magazine and the clubs for my 16th birthday this summer. I wanted to tell you how much I LOVE the magazine and what you are doing! I am sure God will bless you for encouraging so many young ladies and their mothers this way. The “Make it Lovely” issue was lovely, and it inspired me to do some sewing (I am not normally very fond of it) for my baby sister. And I got one of Anne Shirley’s “thrills” to see the “Between Friends” issue in my mailbox! It has to be the best yet! All the articles were very uplifting and interesting. I especially enjoyed “Searching for Sea Glass” and the L.M. Montgomery journals, and seeing photos of my dear friend Ashley (who I have not seen for two years) in “An Ice Cream Social”! And Breezy Brookshire’s sweet paper dolls…oh, I cannot say enough about them! I also like the Tea Cozy and Horse Clubs (I love horses!!!)…I was also wondering if you accepted poetry or short story submissions from your readers. I love to write both kinds, and if you would like, I can send you some.
Thank you again for publishing the GHC! I am really looking forward to getting the next one. Keep up the good work!
Sincerely,
Miss Abby S.

Hi Ladies!

“My amazingly beautiful copy of The Girlhood Companion arrived safe and sound. I might add that it is INCREDIBLE! I simply am drooling over every nook and cranny of it! You have rekindled the kindred spirit, red-headed girl in me and renewed my fervor for my romantic inclinations. I may not be Anne Shirley, but there are days when my red-head and freckled face has felt exactly like her! Now that I am 35, I still feel like that character and am inspired by her zeal for life. Thank you for breathing life into the cobwebs and seemingly foggy (at times) mind, where I’ve forgotten to embrace Anne with an “e” or Katherine with a “K.” I can’t wait to share the amazing stories with my 2 daughters and explore all the fun nuances of her character.”

A Happy Subscriber’s Testimony
Dear friends and subscribers,
I just had to share this wonderful letter we received today about our new issue.Thought you would enjoy it.
Hello Novak Family,
My amazingly beautiful copy of The Girlhood Companion arrived safe and sound. I might add that it is INCREDIBLE! I simply am drooling over every nook and cranny of it! You have rekindled the kindred spirit, red-headed girl in me and renewed my fervor for my romantic inclinations. I may not be Anne Shirley, but there are days when my red-head and freckled face has felt exactly like her! Now that I am 35, I still feel like that character and am inspired by her zeal for life. Thank you for breathing life into the cobwebs and seemingly foggy (at times) mind, where I’ve forgotten to embrace Anne with an “e” or Katherine with a “K.” I can’t wait to share the amazing stories with my 2 daughters and explore all the fun nuances of her character.
I might add that Breezy and her sister Emily Rose have such a gift to share and their paper dolls are wonderful! I’ve been following them for a while on their blogs and was so excited to see their work in your magazine! Fun!!
To my delight, I was pleased to see the Stubb’s Family highlighted again! I was introduced to them this summer in your magazine and went out to buy their Farmer’s Market material as quick as I could! I also am following them on their blog and have enjoyed reading all about their world.
If the magazine hadn’t already been packed with fun and excitement I almost fell off my chair when I saw Audrey and Tim Hollatz being featured with their photography, recipes and their tea room! Last year my brother and now sister-in-law were married in their beautiful garden and had the reception in the tea house. It was lovely and Audrey and Tim are incredibly sweet!
Congratulations on publishing such a lovely and edifying magazine! The Lord has blessed your hands and hearts…
Thanks in advance and have a wonderful day!

Etiquette Met with Giggles
Dear Mothers,
I’d like to share this sweet comment from one of our customers about last Spring’s Girlhood Issue – Clothing Yourself in Beauty.
You never know what’s hidden in your daughter’s hearts. I love how tea etiquette was met with giggles of delight. The Girlhood Home Companion and Tea Cozy Club are a delight to mothers and daughters and a precious resource for teaching good manners.
“Hi Jill.
I really enjoyed speaking with you on the phone. It is nice to now have a “voice” to go along with the articles we enjoy in your magazine. Thank you, and your family, again for publishing such a quality publication. My daughter, Ella turned eight last March and we celebrated by having a tea party for her and 6 of her friends. We got our idea from reading Girlhood Home Companion, which we enjoy reading together during some of our special mother/daughter time. We set the table with beautiful cups, flowers, scones, grapes, and strawberries. When her friends came they all took their seats and while they enjoyed their tea I read about tea etiquette from the magazine. The girls enjoyed trying the correct and incorrect ways of holding their tea cups… with lots of giggles. I then read the storybook The Princess and the Kiss, it helped to keep those giggles under control a bit so they could enjoy their tea. After they finished their tea and had cake, we made Tussie Mussies using instructions from Girlhood Home Companion. They all did very well with just a little help from the adults. After their tussie mussies were ready, we made tissue paper flowers to fill them. The girls left with a beautiful craft to take home with them and we had a blessed time celebrating girlhood at my daughters birthday. Thank you for the wonderful ideas and encouragement.”
