Neat! My hubby does home shows for his business so I kind of have an idea of what your 'fair' was like. I always enjoy talking and meeting new people. I enjoy it-my hubby not so much. =P It does make for a long weekend...glad you made out good though- what a blessing!

Oh, I'm glad you had some pics to share of the craft show. I think they call them bazaars down here. I did a bazaar last year, but I don't like selling books at a bazaar. It was a last-minute "can you take my table" thing from a gal who'd broken her ankle. I felt like a used-car salesman, a feeling I abhor. You're supposed to go to bazaars and just browse and find cool jewelry and Christmas decorations, but folks don't just browse books, so you have to sort of "go out and compel them to come in."
I'm not doing it this year. I prefer school visits, where the target audience comes to YOU. LOL

I'm glad your craft fair went well. My mom is British and so I'm familiar with 'conkers'. I also love your festive background!

It's been far too long since I stopped in for a visit. I've had a tough time keeping up with blogs lately!
I am praying for your water situation! Keep trusting God, it's inspiring!
Also, have you thought of opening an etsy shop to sell the things you didn't sell at the craft fair?
Blessings,
Angel

Great spread, Mary! I love how cozy it all is and how the light glimmers off the bookmarks. I wish you were closer so I could peruse your wares in person!

Handsome and I

We have homeschooled our four boys from birth and plan to go the distance till all four graduate from our homeschool. I teach with a Charlotte Mason style and use the Heart of Wisdom Approach. I love to craft! I am a beader, knitter, x-stitcher, quilter. We have been on a journey of being apart of building "The House that God Built". I have been recording our journey on my blog. Go to my links and you will find it. I know God has a lot more instore for us and we just need to follow where our Lord takes us.
