new Halloween items

 OK, I 'm tired of making potion bottles for now. This is the last of them. I made this spell book, took it up to Country Creek Treasures, put it on a shelf, walked to the back of the store, came back and it was sold...! Also every steampunk item I made and almost all top hats have been sold. I need to get busy, but here I sit outside watching the hummingbirds!

 

Beautiful Green butterflies

 There are a lot of these pretty green butterfies out and about today! They are really liking these black and    blooms.

Cedarhurst Art and Craft fair's last season

 

I went with my friends, Teresa Dalton and Brenda Schmeider to the final year of the Cedarhurst Art and craft fair today. I have been coming to this fair since I was in my 30's. It was kind of a bittersweet day. We had a good time though. It's the end of an era after 48 years. I have so many great memories of this event with many friends. Tomorrow is the last day if any of you are planning on going.

Steampunk hat made by me

 My friend, Steve Farley gave me this vintage hat and I finally got around to "steampunking" it! Thanks, Steve, It will be at Country Creek Treasures today.

Lunch with the ladies of the class of 1967

 I had lunch with some of the Ladies of '67 today! It was so great to catch up and visit with Jenny Holsapple, here from Florida. Great to see you ladies! Until next time.....Edit: the one on the far left end of the table that looks too young to be in her 70's is Jenny's daughter, Kelly Jo Middleton!

 

 We took an old people's Sunday drive this afternoon around Forbes State Park. It is such a beautiful cool day, a little breezy though. Nobody on the beach, but lots of foot prints in the sand from all of the hot days recently. There were quite a few boats in the water. We took a walk around Rocky Point. Bill took this picture of a broken pay phone that hasn't worked for decades that was still attached to the old, sad concession stand. I used to bring the kids here when they were growing up too, fun memories. I hope you have all had a great Sunday!
