A Fair to Remember...

I have been away for much to long.

I have much fun to share. Business has picked up so I have had my Hands to Work.

First I'll share that my Charms can now be found in Richmond VA, at the new

Whole Foods Market at Short Pump.

A very sweet girl who is a buyer for Whole Foods Market contacted me through my Etsy shop (and a few other talented locals) and asked if we would be interested in having our work in the new store, in the beauty section.

So I jumped at the chance. I was at my work table with soldering Iron in hand for 3 weeks. I thought I would never get so many done, but I did. I was up to my ears in charms.

After all that it was time for a break, so my wonderful husband took me on a little spur of the moment trip. Just us two, on the road again.

To the Country Living Fair in Columbus, Ohio.

It was just wonderful, fabulous, spectacular!

I got to meet some of the most talented artist we all know and love, and I shopped till I dropped. It was a

"Craft Show on Steroids".

That is the best way I can describe it. Even with the steamy rain all day, it was still one of the most enjoyable shows I have ever been to. And meeting these artist was just a Thrill for me, and we all know how truly talented these ladies are.

When I first arrived It was right to Earth Angel Toys booth. Oh to see all this beautiful art work in person, I was in Awe.

And I was lucky enough to meet Nicol Sayre.

I had never seen her original work in person before, And it was exquisite.

And she was a doll, what a talent she is. Nicol is going to be in another show on November 15 in Martinsburg, WV. Even closer for me to get to, can't wait.

Here she is with one of her beauties.

And next, to my surprise, I also meet Jennifer Schneeman. I have loved and admired her work for many years and she was there too.

Before I left, I had to go back to Earth Angels just one last time to see if I could catch

Debbee Thibault.

She wasn't there when I first came by. But she was this time, and I must say one of the nicest people I have ever had the pleasure chatting with. What a treat to meet her.

What a fantastical day it was. Here are a few more pictures of the Show.

Fall is in full bloom in Ohio.

Enjoy.
