Time flies!!

Almost a month has gone since my last post.
I have been busy around the house putting out fall decorations and in between we took a quick trip to Lancaster, PA - one of our fun places to go.
We thought the colors would be beautiful but everything is still so nice and green and flowers are still blooming. Disappointed in the colors but still such pretty country.

We stopped at a few gourd farms while out there to re-stock our supply. 
The Stoltzfus farm is our favorite - they are so friendly and helpful there and have a huge selection. Plus we bought most of our pumpkins from them as well.





We did find a new gourd farm we didn't know about and now we will have 3 go to out there. The new one was growing the long neck gourds - next time we go I want to get one. He showed us how they grow - when hung like they are they will grow straight but if grown on the ground they will curl.


A FB friend was making and selling Sweet Annie wreaths and I was lucky enough to be able to purchase one before her supply ran out. I wanted it inside but couldn't find a place to hang it so it has a home on the front door - I like it there because when you open the door you get a swoosh of fragrance!

I have a few items left from the show that I took to the shop I consign at
but kept a couple items here so I could put them on my website to sell -
most have gone but I do have a few things left.
There is just one all ready made gourd garland left but we did get a new
supply of gourds to make more if interested.

You can find all the items on my site
Here are just a few




I think I'm finished putting out Fall things but every now and then I will tweak something and bring up a new gourd or a pumpkin...never can leave things alone - I love changes!!!











I must get on with my work now so I will close - have a wonderful rest of your week.
Blessings

Great show - new treasures

Good Wednesday to all - it has finally gotten to feel like Fall today and none too soon.
I can not wait to get my gourds, pumpkins, Indian corn, Bittersweet and all that
is Fall out and start putting it around.

The past few months were totally taken up with creating for the In The Spirit of Friends show in Ohio -  oh what a show. It was fantastic. We met so many internet friends there. Some we knew and several new!

Our space in the barn could not have been in a better place. We were at the end near a fire lane exit and so we could spread out to our hearts delight - sideways and forward....and we did. We got almost another space by doing this.










Here are a few of the friends who stopped by to shop and say hi....some we couldn't get pictures of because of being busy and crowds.
With Linda Fiorita

With Sandy Wise...what a fun lady!!!!

With Kathy Wilcox Landes  

With Sandy Wise and Linda Firoita

With Carmen Erb 

With Lauren Fuqua...this sweet lady gifted me many years ago with
'tons' of rug hooking supplies so I could get started in rug hooking.
She's dear to my heart.

With Cathy Pope and her mother Joyce Mullikin

And a big shout out to 'Lisa' and also Karin Manuel who stopped in
and said hi and gave some wonderful compliments...
among other names I can not remember!

And we topped the night off with Alice Lamar Fraizer and her husband Sonny at the Malabar Inn for dinner.
Very HOT and WORN OUT but what a perfect ending to a perfect day.


I listed several items on my selling site:
This is just a peek!

Saturday was also our grandson Joe's homecoming
With his date Megan


We are taking a couple days starting tomorrow to go up north to unwind...
and take a few things to a shop in Wisconsin Rapids (Country Freckles).
And it is also our 54th Anniversary tomorrow (28th)
so we'll be with our very best friends in the world...
my brother and his wife. Couldn't ask for a better way to celebrate.

THANKS FOR STOPPING BY!
