We headed out for the Micanopy Fall Festival this morning, was pouring down rain when we got up, but the weather report predicted it was almost out of here. So hubby and I met Mary there. Very few people there, so we were able to shop without the crowds. Here we are just getting started, the rain had stopped by the time we got there.
They had heavy rains the night before and this poor lady had to take her shoes off and go barefoot because she had several inches of rain in her booth.
More water
Mary at her favorite booth, she always buys from them. Windchimes made from silverware.
My favorite stop, I always buy bobbins from him. $1.00 each, he has all different sizes, and most are a $1.00
We stopped in a few of the antique shops, I just loved this spinning wheel, one day ....
I have been on a snowman making craze lately, I just finished this one, from a Crows Roost Primitives pattern. I changed the hat and I am going to make a Christmas tree on a bobbin, from Old Annie Primitives, to go with him, he is heavy. I have him filled with sawdust.
A snowman head on a candlestick that I bought at Goodwill for $.50, they are the perfect green and heavy.
And Frosty's hat, of course. This a RagnTags pattern.
And I made up some Santa mice on sleighs. I bought these sleighs after Christmas at Michaels, last year. I got them for $1.00 each, I have a stash of things that I am trying to use up, but never seems to be enough time.
After the show, we stopped at Applebee's and got their appetizer trio for lunch. Yummy! Then off to the junk store in LaCrosse. I didn't find much there, but some kitchen utensils for another blogger for make-dos.
And last, I guess we now have a dog, he has decided he likes our house better. I was on the couch the other day and saw something white out of the corner of my eye, and looked out of the window and there was RJ "Whiskers" throwing a shoe up in the air and guess who had been in the shed again.
Hope you all have a great weekend. Happy sewing! Cyndy

Hi,Cyndy, it sounds like you had a wonderful time. It's a shame about the water in the
ReplyDeletebooths, though. Bobbins for $1.00?? Wow!
Your work is beautiful, the Snowman and
Frosty's hat are terrific items. The Santa mice
are adorable. Very nice job.
Oh....you do snowmen proud Miss Cyndy!!! Love each and every one of them!!! And that RJ "Whiskers...." - if he weren't so funny, I'd be ticked.... ;o) Enjoy your Sunday! Smiles & Hugs ~ Robin
