Let the fall festivals begin!

This is the first big show of the year around here. It's the Ozark, MO crafts festival. I've been going to it for at least 15 years. I went with my sister this year and when I got to her house to pick her up she had a present for me!! That's a great way to start the day!

Isn't she great? (My sister and the witch)

Here are the pictures from the crafts show.

First here's me at the entrance...

Then here are Tammy and Renee' at their hooking booth. Tammy said there was alot of interest and buying going on this year. I wondered if the economy would stop people from buying. (Tammy on the right, Renee' on the left) Cute, aren't they?

Some simple Christmas trees made from sticks!

My sister, Linda posing with the pumpkins...

In one of the big tents...

Another hooking booth.. this is Karen and Nelda. (Nelda is standing)

Isn't this a great idea for the other ironing board I have in the basement?

And what a great idea for an old shovel!

Simple stitchery...

Another darling booth...

And here are my purchases for the day...

These "plant pokes"

And this cane made out of wooden spools... Most of my friends don't actually know I use a cane sometimes. Some days my balance is really off and my legs are so weak I can hardly stand. That's another story though, on another board... not my blog. I try to keep this one upbeat and not complain about how much pain I'm in, etc.

Then there's the food!! There must have been 20 trailers with food vendors. Linda had a hot dog and I had a caramel apple. All sliced up and smothered with caramel. With a diet Pepsi, of course.

When we got back to Linda's neighborhood there were garage sale signs everywhere! It was about noon and I told her all the good stuff would be gone but I got some cool things. I'll show you those tomorrow.
