Your items are lovely and I love that you featured everyone else as well. My oldest daughter who's 15 loves art and photography, my youngest 11 loves crafts and crocheting :-) We enjoy craft shows and also all kinds of antiques and vintage items. Was great to see small businesses being supported, thank you for sharing! Hope the temperatures warm up for you soon and it starts to really feel like Spring :-) Have a wonderful day!<br /><br />Blessings,<br />JillJillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14904921240840944999noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6915998197494794177.post-75926576848702345522017-04-12T11:10:51.085-07:002017-04-12T11:10:51.085-07:00Thank you for sharing.

I loved looking around at all of the wonderfully crafted and handmade items even back then. I truly appreciate the time and effort that a artisan puts into the lovely things that they make. You look so happy and glowing. You were truly in your element. <br />xoxo JoAnne's Attic - Designhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03298839090752134125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6915998197494794177.post-83225796279241908832017-04-12T05:27:21.849-07:002017-04-12T05:27:21.849-07:00It looks as though it was a wonderful event and a ...It looks as though it was a wonderful event and a fun way to bring people together. Could I ask a favor of you? I've been trying for years to have success with growing geraniums from cuttings with no success.

It's as if I'm seeing a host of God's partners in creativity. The scripture that says that we are "created in His image" becomes even more tangible, concrete. Your presentation here is a good argument for going back to a time when more people sold their wares, made by them, by hand. I think big business has silenced the talented and skillful artisan who not only brings us art but necessary items (food, soaps, other household items). It goes without saying that the kinship, the music, the gathering to eat together just brings this community closer, but the true gift of creating much be kept ALIVE or we wither.
