Fairchild Mercantile Happenings
We are knee deep in lambs!

It's all about the lambs here on the Fairchild Ranchero. It seems like we take some off a bottle and put more on. But that's ok. Nothing cuter than watching a little lamb or a goat kid (which we have plenty of too) jump around and have fun. One of these days I'll share a video with you all, but right now, we're just too tired. Enjoy your week!!! The Fairchild Crew
Ready, set, let's craft!

We're done with Christmas and just finished up the New Year's festivities...now what?

I sure hope you all are about ready to enjoy a great Thanksgiving Day with friends or family. We try to go to visit family, now that the kids are older, it's a lot easier than it was.

It's November y'all!

What is this November 2nd business and who approved it? This year is almost over for Pete’s sake! So at the Fairchild Ranchero, we got another legal driver in the house last week, and another just started Drivers Ed. We didn’t plan that very well back in the day did we? All these kids driving at once…all I can think of is costly insurance premiums. Eeks. I could also look at it as “I shouldn’t have to drive for at least 6 years”…We could have driving Miss Mamma for quite a while. Well, I guess I like being in control...
Here's what's comin!

Happy Friday! I’ve been busy this week getting a kit together! This one is an all white sheep after I had gotten some customers asking if I’d design one of those “good western whiteface”. I think he turned out pretty good and I hopefully will have him up in the next few days to purchase. If you are a Tik Tokker, find me “Fairchild Farms” and you can see how he was made and me trying to take some photos as my cat was trying his best to help. No thanks, Tater, I got this. This weekend, I do a...
