This gives you an overall look at the little guest bath under the stairs - in my mind, I think you're interested!! What you will be interested in is that there were THOUSANDS of people at this show ~ the grounds were covered with folks who paid $16 each to get in! If they went for the Early Bird Sale, they paid $25 to get in! It astounded us both in light of the fact that a crummy economy surrounds us! We even heard of people who flew in from far away places to attend!
Some other acquisitions were these beautiful skeins of handspun yarn ~ aren't they gorgeous? Even if you're not into fibers, the colors are so pretty! This show was well worth the trip down to Columbus! Hundreds of artists ~ traditional and contemporary ~ some very funky and eclectic! We were there from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and only sat for a bite of lunch! I was so tired when we left and drove home to go out for dinner with my old friends! We met them in Ashland at 6:30 at Surella's ~ if you live near Ashland, you should give it a try ~ very good food ~ and beverages! We had a lot of fun ~ stayed till we almost got kicked out! Then Sonny and I stopped at the Happy Grape because Teddy & Miki asked us to join them ~ I hate to tell anybody no ~ they may not ask again! We got home at midnight!!
Saturday, was a Fraizer family wedding ~ at a farm ~ very simple but it did the trick! We got home at 10 that night ~ the old people are slowing down!! Sunday we went to Camden's fifth grade football game and then had a wiener roast here for all of our kids and grandkids!! Great fun ~ great food ~ lots of laughs!! Luke & Jake, the two 7th graders, stayed all night with us and I got them off to school this morning with homemade smoothies and eggs and toast!! Don't tell my grown kids ~ they will remember that I didn't quite do that for them ~ probably some cheerios and a pop tart!!!! Grandmas are smarter ~ and have more time!!
Today, I've been washing sheep fleece ~ now that's a stinky job!! Have a good week everybody ~ and you know I appreciate you stopping by!!!

Alice,
LOVE your funky chicken! Looks great on the dark print wall!!
That must be so fun to attend a show with so much art and talented people! It IS surprising with the bad economy that people are still flocking to such expensive venues. I guess we need to quit watching the evening news with all the bad economy stories!
Of course I don't need the evening news to tell me how poorly my OWN economy is lately! LOL!
Enjoy washing that raw fleece..... lovely smell isn't it!!

The mustard chicken...the yarn...both delightful!
Alice, what a fun packed weekend you've had. Your big mustard colored chic looks right at home on the wall and even cheers up the guest bathroom. What a welcoming room.
The colorful yarn looks fantastic too. I wish I could tag along on some of your adventures with friends. JB
That chick is fabulous. Looks perfect. Family day at a farm would be a blast. And keep Spoiling those grandkids. Those times are some of my best memories.
Love your yellow chicken and the bathroom wall paper. Wow, I'm afraid I wouldn't have attended the affair. Matter of fact I don't even buy a Sam's Club card to shop in their store.
Nice yarn too.
Alice,
Seeing what kind of events you have in Ohio makes me sad my dad took us away from the Buckeye State because he couldn't stand the snow. So I am stuck here in north Florida where it still will snow!
Love the chicken and the redware. Wish I could have attended but I can't handle being on my feet so long, you put me to shame with your energy. You rock!
I love your chicken too. You are always so busy, great things.

Alice, I was there too..sure wish that we had run in to eachother!(:
I love your purchases too! I'm familiar with Cazan redware and you are right..it's beautiful. I'm pretty sure that you and Sonny could run circles around Gary and I! What a fun weekend! And what a fun grandma you are too! (:
