Having Fun at the Weekend Show


Beautiful weather, though rather hot, a lovely location at One Way Antiques in King, great art, fun music, and wonderful crowds, but alas... not too many sales. Seems to be the state of shows these days. I made about 1/3 of what I made at the same show a year ago. Ah well. It was worth it just for the camaraderie and the inspiration of seeing the work of other artists. Here are some photos... hope you enjoy!

I shared my booth with my husband, and we set up next to the music stage. He displays most of his knives in cases, especially at outdoor shows, lest some small child come along and grab a knife and hurt him or herself. I try to have an earthy look at my booth to complement the style of jewelry that I do. So I use old Moxie crates, a moose anter, dried pinto beans, rocks (which I forgot to bring this time!!!), and other such things.





Here are a few shots of the location and other booths and sights there...




And here's a silly shot of me dancing to the blues of Big Ron Hunter with some old man who'd been dancing alone... and another good friend of mine who came to join in. Had a great time, but it seems I almost lost my skirt!

And finally, a couple shots of the band as we did our Sunday set.



So, same time next year, I suppose!

My First CD Arrives With Winter!

Here, winter arrived with a bang... but today, the first day of winter, it is sunny with a bright blue sky and blinding with the snow still on the ground. We made it through the weekend just fine since we got only snow, 9 or 10 inches, and no ice. We have not left the house yet, but we're planning to this afternoon - with a trip to the post office to mail a few packages and to do a little bit of shopping.

I listed my Homespun Girl CD on Etsy last night and have had one sale so far! Yay... what a wonderful surprise to wake to this morning! You can check it out by clicking here.

Here are a few snow photos for you to enjoy!

Still snowing when I woke up on Saturday morning...

Our house in the snow...

Front yard wonderland...

Our snow dog, Abby...

John's footprints up the hill to the mountain...

The woods...

Hope everyone has a spirited, festive, and fabulous holiday!
