Today is a pretty exciting day for my children and I. It is the day that I take them all to the biggest craft fair in our town. We had someone over this morning who said she really does not go to craft fairs and it helped me remember that many people have not been raised to appreciate and attend craft fairs. Thank you to my mom and my grandma and my granny who raised me to understand the beauty and importance of these events. I am so glad my children are following faithfully in these footsteps. They are so excited.
There will be exquisite pottery, hand sewn doll clothes and Barbie doll clothes, there will be hand made soaps, fudge, candy, Christmas cake, there will be local honey and candles made with the bees wax, there will be felted treasures and Christmas tree ornaments and hand knit hats and head bands, hand sewn clothing, and painted rocks and wood art, carved treasures, and hand painted signs and I could go on and on and on.... It is truly wonderful.
If you have the option to go and enjoy all that a craft fair is know that there is the potential for your heart to feel filled so full. Go when you are not hungry, dress for the weather, stay hydrated, bring a cloth bag and some cash, don't bring children unless they will behave, and know there are usually crowds...all of this will set you up for a great experience :)
Have a lovely rest of your November. It is flying by. The sun is shining today, peeking in and out of dark stormy clouds, and the wind is blowing. The baby and I keep rushing outside to sit in the sun for the moments it comes out.
Love Tansy
Yay you went! I love the last sentence, the baby and I are rushing out to sit in the sunshine. Tansy you are making memories, you are enjoying the moments and the days, I'm so glad you are finally getting enough sleep to get out there! There were so many years for you where you survived on little to no sleep, I don't know how you did it - and now the sun is shining through for you and you aren't missing it!
