OXFORD The Seeing Eye seeks families in the Southern Chester County area to raise puppies destined to be guides for blind people. Puppies bom at the scientific breeding station in Mendham Township will soon be ready for loving homes. Those interested in training a puppy should attend the first meeting of the Southern Chester County 4-H Seeing Eye Puppy Club on Wednesday, Nov. 7 at the Hopewell Girls Gym in Oxford starting at 7 p.m. The Seeing Eye pays veterinary expenses and provides a monthly allowance to help defray other puppy raising costs.

Before opening her shop in June, Shirley worked as a nurse at Lancaster Osteopathic Hospital in Lancaster. She said she had nursed there for a number of years and felt ready to try something dif ferent. As her children got older and more involved in school activities, Shirley said she wanted to change her working hours to allow more time for her children. “I think the advantages out weigh those little conflicts you run into,” she says of her decision to change careers. Once she had made up her mind to quit her job and open the shop, she started by attending two local craft shows where she was quite successful. Later, she and Ken started to look for places to rent, but finally decided to open up shop in part of their home. “It took a while ‘til we decided to use the house,” Shirley confesses. She says she does not regret the decison to use the house and oc casionally gets some housework done in between customers. With the holiday season ap proaching, Shirley will be busier than ever. She is planning to attend a Christmas craft show at Willow Valley and is considering ex panding her shop hours, which are normally Tuesday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Shoppers looking for unique Christmas decorations and gifts will find an ample supply at Country Creations. In addition to the country crafts she normally carries, Shirley has Christmas wreaths and unique Christmas ornaments.

The items uniformly reflect the creative yet common sense ap proach of these country wives. For example, the baby bibs are large and made out of a very thick, absorbant hand towel. “Do you remember how long those little plastic bibs that cost $1.99 in the stores last after they’re washed and the plastic breaks?” Cathy reminded the mothers. Tree sachets are hand-stuffed and sewn shut. Tree ornaments are individually wrapped and do not fall apart with excessive handling. Ornaments also carry long strings for “little fingers” that enjoy helping mommy and daddy trim the tree. Pillows are made with a zipper in the back so that the pillow shape can be removed and the pillow washed. “It’s worth it to put the zipper in,’’ said Cathy. Some of the women’s craft ideas appear in this week’s craft corner. They are easy and fun to make, Elaine and Cathy say, but quickly add: “Come to the bazaar, they’re good bargains.”
