OHIO FALL EXTRAVAGANZA

THIS PAST WEEK-END MY FRIEND JANICE AND I SET UP A BOOTH AT THE SPRINGFIELD, OHIO SHOW. IT WAS A FIRST OUT OF STATE SHOW FOR BOTH OF US AND THE FIRST TIME THAT I HAD TOWED A TRAILER! HAPPY TO REPORT THAT IT WAS A GOOD EXPERIENCE. SALES WERE VERY GOOD, PEOPLE WERE FRIENDLY AND APPRECIATIVE OF OUR HAND MADE STUFF AND THE WEATHER COULDN'T HAVE BEEN BETTER! ( A BIG THANK YOU, JOE AND SANDY, OF RHUBARB REIGN, FOR YOUR ENCOURAGEMENT AND HELP WITH THE TRAILER. OH!, AND THE DELICIOUS CHICKEN SALAD SANDWICHES. YUM!) HERE ARE JUST SOME OF THE ITEMS WE HAD IN OUR BOOTH.

WHITE WEDNESDAY

MY CHOICE FOR THIS WEEK'S WHITE WEDNESDAY IS SOME PICS I TOOK WHILE IN ENGLAND THIS YEAR. THE WEATHER WORN, BLEACHED DETAILS OF ANCIENT THINGS, EVEN IF MADE OF METAL AND STONE, HAVE TIMELESS APPEAL.

WHITE WEDNESDAY

I GOT THESE WONDERFUL CLOCK FACES FROM THE IOWA JUNK GYPSIES LAST WEEK END AT KANE. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE THEM! I MADE SOME TRANSFERS OF THEM AND APPLIED THEM TO SOME RAW SILK PILLOWS THAT I HAD MADE. I ALSO COVERED SOME CHAIR SEATS WITH THE TRANSFERED CLOCK FACES. WILL SHOW THOSE PICS LATER.

BOY DO I EVER NEED HELP

I LOGGED INTO MY BLOG JUST NOW WITH THE INTENTION OF POSTING MY WHITE WEDNESDAY PICS. BUT BEFORE I BLOG I ALWAYS LIKE TO READ WHAT WAS POSTED IN THE BLOGS THAT I FOLLOW. IMAGINE MY SURPRISE WHEN I COULDN'T FIND ANY POSTING AND THE MESSAGE WAS THAT I WAS NOT FOLLOWING ANY BLOGS RIGHT NOW!!!!!!!! OH, YES I AM!!!!!!!! BUT I ONLY REMEMBER SOME OF THEM!!!! I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE HECK HAPPENED. I CERTAINLY DID NOT DELETE ANY! THIS HAS HAPPENED BEFORE, RIGHT AFTER I STARTED BLOGGING, AND MESSING EVERYTHING UP, BUT I THINK BY NOW I WOULD KNOW ENOUGH NOT TO DELETE THE BLOGS I FOLLOW EVEN ON ACCIDENT!... ANYWAY, BLOG FRIENDS, PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF I FOLLOWED ANY OF YOU SO THAT I CAN PUT YOU BACK ON MY LIST..............AND TO MAKE MATTERS EVEN WORSE, I WAS TOLD BY RITA, ON MY JUNK JEWELRY BLOG, THAT I WON A CONTEST BY HER AND I SHOULD E-MAIL HER WITH MY ADDRESS. WHEN I CLICKED ON HER NAME, (about ten times)I WAS TOLD THAT HER PROFILE IS NOT PUBLISHED AND THEREFORE, I CANNOT ACCESS HER BLOG SITE!!!!! WHAT!!!!!!! (rita if you read this, please give me your blogsite name) OR IF ANYONE WHO READS THIS KNOWS WHERE I CAN GET IN TOUCH WITH RITA, PLEASE HELP!!!!!!! I WAS SO EXCITED. THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I HAVE WON ANYTHING. RITA PAINTS THE MOST GORGEOUS SIGNS WITH LOVELY WORDS ON THEM. ANY HELP WOULD BE APPRECIATED.
