Fall Fesival, Part 3

I am so glad that we made it 

home, that drive yesterday, was

too long for me! I drove a long

way in the dark, with it raining.

I guess we shouldn't have 

stopped at a couple antique

malls ;)....

Here are the rest of the festival

pictures that I took.  I didn't

get a lot of pictures of the craft

booths inside, but the ones that

were outside, were interesting.

This is a great place to take your 

kids to learn about how things 

were done, a long time ago.

I am not sure what this man was 

working on, I didn't get a good look, 

but I think he had knives in his 

case.

 

 

 I was at the festival, shortly after it

opened and this booth was pretty full...

They had fur boots and Davy Crockett

hats, little pouches, swords, necklaces

and more, outside the booth.

 

Love the teepee.

Making lye soap.

 

The picture, above gives me the creeps!

 

  

More furs...

A little Fall decorating and some of 

the handmade baskets, that Linda 

made.....And more, below.

Well, that is it for the festival pictures.

I wish I had gotten some pictures of 

Santas, painted on driftwood, soda 

bottles and anything else, they felt like

painting them on....I need to take a 

picture of the crow and the mittens,

that I bought.....The mittens are 

so cute! Thanks for stopping by

and thanks to those that have left

me comments, recently. My email

wasn't working, so I could not reply

back to you.....I hope you all had

a great Thanksgiving!

Until next time....

Fall Fesival, Part 2

Hi all, I am pretty busy today, 

but thought I would get on here

for a bit and show you some 

more pictures of the festival.

I didn't get as many inside, as 

I thought....There were quite a

few crafters and demonstrators, 

but I was short on time and I

didn't get them all, but I did 

get quite a few of them.

This couple were playing dulcimers

and they would even give you 

lessons. I don't know about you all,

but I love dulcimer music!

These ladies were spinning wool...

Looms for rug making....

 Handmade canes and walking sticks,

santas and more.

There was man making broom, 

another making candles and you

could even dip your own, sorry, I 

didn't of them. They even had one
room, just full of quilters and 
quilts! I didn't even go into that
room, this time....

Now, outside we go....The Heritage

Center is built like a circle and 

they have this old post office out

in the yard....

We used to have a booth in an 

antique mall and a lot of the tins

on these shelves are ones that we

sold there, they used to be part 

of my collection!

This huge bear is on the porch of

the center.

This huge Indian is over to the 

right a bit....Isn't he awesome?

Behind him is a stage, that they 

had people playing music, telling

stories, or clogging the whole 3

days of the festival.  I would have

loved to stay a long time, just to

listen to the music, but since I 

was going to Texas, that didn't 

happen.

Well, I hope you enjoyed part 2 of 

the Festival, you can catch part 3

on Saturday....

Prims At The Fall Festival!

Hey everyone, prims have made

it to Oklahoma!  I went to the 

festival, just before heading for

Texas, recently and I could not

believe that they had someone 

with a lot of prim goodies! 

I have lots of pictures of the 

festival, of women spinning

wool, soap making, blacksmith,

people playing dulcimers, etc,

but I am going to show you 

them, in 3 posts....I thought I

would just show you this 

wonderful booth, first....I 

should have taken more, but

I got most of it. She had some

wonderful things and she came

all the way from Kansas.
 She said I could take all the 

pictures I wanted, which was so

nice of her, vendors don't always

want you to take pictures, they 

are afraid you are going to copy 

them.

The front of her booth...These ladies

are standing in front of the dolls, in

the next picture.

Lots of dolls!

 

The dolls above, are to the right 

of the ones, before....Still outside

the booth!

 

Inside the booth, looking to the left....

She had lots of gingers and Santas...

The back wall in her booth....Lots of

witches, crows, bats and JOLs.... 

 I don't have a picture of what I bought,

but I bought a crow and mittens, made

from a red and white quilt, that are so

cute!....I will show you all, later.

I have been busy, we went to Texas 

and sorted and sorted stuff to bring

back, to sell at the flea market. I got 

it all marked and packed and we went

on Saturday. It wasn't that great, but 

we did sell some of it....I have been 

working on the kitchen....The 

weather is not great for painting,

but I am plugging away....I might

get it done, this year!....I need to

get some trim, so I am going to do

that, tomorrow when I take the 

cats to the vet for their boosters.

Tomorrow, I am going to make 

fudge......Chocolate, with nuts

and a batch of peanut butter, also!

Mmmmmm....I need to get back 

to work on the kitchen!

I'll post the rest of the pictures, 

soon and hopefully some things

on my selling blog.

If You Can't Be Anything Else, At Least Be This!

Hey everyone, I just had to save

a picture of this on a comment 

page....

Well, time is just flying by and

I have been down to Texas 2 times,

lately.....Week before last, I went 

down on Tuesday and came back 

on Friday and I thought I might 

get the kitchen finished, but it was

either rainy or colder than I wantd

to have the windows open to finish

the painting I need to do....Then,

last Friday, hubby and I went down

to do some work at our house....

I sorted and sorted things and we

brought back several totes of stuff

to sell....He unloaded it tonight 

now I need to go through all that....

Now I am wishing that we had left

it all down there!

I got some goodies in the mail, 

that I will show you, soon, but my

next post will be about the Fall

Festival, that I went to, just before

we left. Prims have come to 

Oklahoma!

I guess I better get off to bed,

I hope you all are having a great

week!

Whole Lot A Shakin' Going On!

Hey everyone, l have to say that 

I felt my first earthquake on 

Saturday night!  I first thought

that my hubby was shaking my

chair, because he was leaning

on the back of it, but he said 

wasn't doing it and then the 

floor lamp was shaking, too. I 

told him I thought we were 

having an earthquake and then

I could hear the house making 

a creaking noise......Our house

is brick and on a cement slab and

I am glad that we don't live close

to where the center was! Yup,it

was a 5.6....Earlier in the day, 

there was a 4.7, but we didn't 

feel that one. I heard on tv that 

you have to have an 

earthquake rider on your home 

owners insurance, or it won't pay

for damages.....I think I will give 

them a call to find out.....I can tell

ya one thing, I am not moving to 

California!

I was down to Texas, last week 

so I didn't get the kitchen 

finished, but I should be able to 

get it all done, this week, if the

weather is good, it is supposed 

to rain for the next couple days.

Well, I have other things to do, 

so I better get with it.

I hope you all have a great week!
