First Fall Festival!

I appreciate all of the sweet comments, dear friends! My computer is still dead…and I am still missing about 6 weeks worth of photos but life goes on. And hubby is still working on the problem so my mood has lifted!

Time for some FUN!

We drove up to McIntosh, FL for a Craft Fair on Saturday!

Ames from Girl Raised in the South would be proud of this photo. She likes to show the ‘real’ Florida and we both love scenes of America! We’ve had such a beautiful summer that the farmers have cut hay over and over again!

And NOW….to be the ENVY of my friends…

I got to shop at Del’s Shells on Saturday morning!

It was her first Craft Show and she had a beautiful booth!

Of course her jewelry was what I was excited to see. I have several pieces (I’m wearing a Del’s Shells necklace) but to see it ALL laid out right in front of me…

be still my heart!

Don’t I look like a little kid that’s been left ALONE in the candy shop?

We hugged and laughed and swatted love bugs!

It was WONDERFUL!

And I bought new earrings

and a sweet starfish ring.

Now I’m off to her Etsy store HERE to look some more!

Do you love Craft shows and

Fall Festivals as much as I do and

spending time with your best blog buds?

I was so happy to see you on Saturday! You all sure got some good pictures~ I think I'm going to have to steal, I mean borrow! these. Mine didn't turn out this good. I'm sure glad it's fall festival time, and it's beautiful in Florida this time of year...or any time really. Thank you so much for coming out to see me! Hugs!

Sorry about your computer woes... But a good way to cheer up anyone's day would be to visit Del and her shells. I would love to be able to see all her beautiful stuff in person!

It must be fun to meet a blog friend in person.

Yes I do love craft shows. They are few and far between in my town though. I like doll shows, and teddy bear shows too.

I have to admit that when I think of Florida, I never think of farmland. I think of beaches and palm trees! Your new pieces of jewelry are gorgeous, and little works of art!
