This is a picture of the tree in our back yard. I love it. It really makes me aware of the passage of time and gets me pondering on life and the cycles that we go through. Lovely tree, beautiful life.
Joe and I worked on the yard and cleaned up the leaves but the rest are still waiting to take their flight to the ground. I’m sure if I take an “after” picture more leaves will have made their trip down.
I took all day yesterday to recover from a most wonderful week-end. Now I’m refreshed and back to myself.
The craft show, Trims and Whims, went so well! I don’t have much jewelry left. This is a good thing. I’ll be busy making new things now.
The weather was in the 70’s and I got to set up outside for both days. I love fall weather but this was more like spring. Anyway, Saturday was the big “Light up Shelbyville” event. They close off Main Street and have entertainment, food venders and craft venders all leading up to the Christmas tree lighting. It’s all so festive and lovely. So, after a full day at Trims and Whims I packed up my wares and did a trunk show at The Keepsake Shop in town. Then took everything back to Trims and Whims on Sunday for another great sale day. By Sunday night you’d better believe I was totally wiped out but smiling. Here’s part of my booth.
There is also some photography that my son did that I was selling for him. I’m so proud of him. He doesn’t have any formal training and yet takes the most amazing pictures.
Most of the pieces in this photo have sold. I’m thrilled that people respond to and like my jewelry. Here are new earrings that I’ve made. They’re fused Argentium leaves and Swarovski Crystal pearls. Very delicate and easy to wear. The necklace is copper with a Ruby Quartz drop.
That’s about it for now. I’ll post more pictures soon as I get them.
Yesterday was my birthday and a great one it was. I love spending time with my family and my son, daughter-in-law and the grandkids came over and hubby took us all out to an Italian restaurant for dinner-yummy. Then we came back to our house for cake.
My cutiepie grandkids.
Me at 63---look at that cake. Mmmm
Hubby gave me a new camera. One that fits into my purse that I’ve been wanting for awhile. It’s so cool.
My son is a fantastic photographer and he made this picture of Queen Ann’s Lace (my favorite) and gave it to me. It’s so beautiful and I’ll cherish it always. Paige made a lovely handmade card for me from her and Tyler.
I had the most perfect day. I am blessed with a wonderful family.
This is, without a doubt, my favorite time of year. Cool, crisp mornings. Beautiful days, not too hot.
I’ve been working on some jewelry but don’t have pictures yet. I hope to get some in the next couple of days.
Paige was here yesterday and wanted to experiment making dyes from plants. Since I have no idea of the proper way to do that I just let her have a go at it.
She came up with some interesting colors. It turned out to be a fun project for her.
The week-end at Midway way was a success ! I actually made money and had a good time to boot. Saturdays weather was beautiful and a lot of people came out. Sunday it rained all day but was a good day too. Hubby and I stayed somewhat dry in our tent and were comforted with kettle corn, funnel cakes, cheeseburgers cooked on a grill and polish sausage sandwiches smothered with sautéed onions . I love fair food. It has no health benefits what-so-ever but it’s soooo good.
This train was on display. It was huge.
Here’s me trying to appear as dry as possible.
Here’s Joe. I’m so grateful he was able to get time off of work so he could help me.
I couldn’t have done this show without him. He’s such a sweetheart and he worked so hard helping me set up and breakdown and made sure that I remembered to drink plenty of water. What a guy!!!
Aren’t these Alpacas so cute. I wish I’d gotten pictures of them on Saturday when it was dry and their “do’s” were all fluffy and sticking up.
As the show was getting close to ending, Mary, who owns Damselfly Studio came by and wanted a lot of my pieces for the store. So, I’ll be working to replenish my stock. Mary always does so well selling my things and I’m so pleased to be shown at Damselfly. If you’re ever near Midway, Kentucky do be sure to stop in. She has great treasures in her gallery.
It was a great show and I look forward to doing it again next year. Today Joe and I feel like we were run over by this.
Could we be getting old?
No, just sadly out of shape I think ;o)
