Rainy Day

A blustery day of rain showers kept me from attending our local farmers market today. Usually September days in Walla Walla are filled with warm sunshine. So, instead of setting up my booth at the market, I hunkered (is that really how you spell hunkered?) down in front of the computer and worked on my website. Drum roll please........

http://www.annemorejewelry.com/ is now open! Hooray! Goodness what alot of fun, and work. Here is one of the items I listed on the site.

Fall is quickly approaching. Monday to be precise. Today got me thinking about rustling leaves and warm sweaters. Hmmmmm, cozy thoughts.

It's Fair Time!

It's fair time in my small town. A lovely time to grab a bite, and see what my community is up to. Isn't it amazing how many people actually wear Wranglers? I mean, real people- not just people in truck commercials.

After a nibble on some yummy treats I head over to the arts, crafts and sewing exhibits. My favorite this year is Mr. Pumpkin. A pumpkin headed man entirely knitted. He's sitting down in a case, but I bet he's almost 3 or 4 feet tall. Mr. Pumpkin is wearing a really great suit and holds a lantern. Hats off to the creative mind who brought him to life. The glass case he's in is very dusty, so apologies on a shabby photo.

Next up: Vegetable Critters. I always knew I loved my veg, but who knew they had such personality? These guys are submitted by grade school kids. I absolutely adored them.

If your community has a fair coming up I hope you can make it. What a fun way to be exposed to things we don't often see in our busy, modern world.

Enjoy your day!
