War Eagle Craft Fair Fall 2009 is Over....

Will I did live through War Eagle Craft Fair again this year.It was a bit cold, but the rain stopped and all we had was some mud the first two days.Sorry I did not get any posting done as the show was going on but I could not get my pics to upload. This is one of the driftwood men I made this year.Adam really liked this one.

You can see part of my booth here.

I made a lot more stuff than I thought I did.As I started taking things out of the boxes I could not believe it.

These two are the view from my booth.This was Sat.and it was a bit cold.

All in all it was a good show and now I am looking for a show to do in Dec.

Live Deeply and go to a craft show.

War Eagle Craft Fair.......Fall 2009

The Fall War Eagle Craft Fair will start in two more days and I think I am almost ready.My new tent got here today and not a min. too soon. We will put it up after work tomorrow.

Adam wants to know why I like doing this show and I don't know what to tell him.I have been doing this show (in the same spot) for 17 years now.I love my neighbors and it feels like old home week when I get there.I also love talking to all the people,some I have meet before and lots of new people too.It makes me feel good when someone takes the time to talk to me and tell me they like my work.I also love meeting the other craftsmen and artist.I wish I was good putting my feeling into words,but I am not.

Now I know that not all the booths have handmade things but if you will take the time to look you will find that most are and I just know you will find something you will love.BUY HANDMADE!!! These are just a few of the things I will have in my booth.Come see me...

Two of the pictures from last fall.Please pray for sun!!!

Live Deeply and come see me at the show....

Fall In The Ozark and War Eagle Craft Show Time..

I love Fall time in the Ozarks.The trees are starting to turn and the animals are getting ready for a long sleep. In the fall we see a lot more deer around the grounds where we work.And that would be War Eagle Cavern.

With the fall also comes War Eagle Craft Fair the 3rd weekend of Oct.I have getting ready for the show and my house looks like Santa has moved in.

I am looking forward to this years show and I hope anyone reading this will come see me there.

Santa is sure lining up to come to the show.

Live Deeply,

Vicki
