BEEN AWHILE

First up a craft show.
Me & Maggie went to the Strawberry Festival here in Melbourne FL. this weekend. We got there at about 9:30 and the parking lot was filling up fast. Parked at the end of a row in the back and got parked in anyway by someone that parked on the end were there was not parking Grrrrrr…I parked that way so I could get out…oh well….
This pic was taken about 1/2 hr after show opened…this is one of 3 walk ways…all were jammed packed. And it was like that all day ….both days…not sure they were buying much.
Butterfly feeders….
So…seen these things…not sure about them…I think they should be for water not a sugar feed….they would be loaded with ants! They are a sea spounge , on a pottery plate  on a pole. I did see someone walking out with one…he had a bunch of other bird feeders on these plates and poles.


Owls……

So whats up with all the owls?? I see them everywhere. Good for the owl collectors..I took some pics of these sweet little owls..well not so little….

Here is a few wise guys lo….so cute…..

And what do we have here? A shabby chic owl! Seeing all the owls make me want to make a few.!! Maybe an owl banner to hang in my rig for a little whimsy. I have not made a thing or worked at all since the cigar boxes…I sit and look at the net or mags…thinking I want to make this or that and never get it done….wish I knew what happened to my muse…where oh where are youuuuu?? I have been looking at some sewing art…not sure what you call it….but thinking that might be easier to carry around than all this altered art stuff…Well maybe next post I will have something good to show you…that’s it for now thanks for looking and come back soon

ART/CRAFT SHOW

I went to some yard sales on Sat. then looking for some geocaches, and ran into this show in Cocoa Beach. Put Maggie in her new buggy and away we went.

Seen these great fish and turtles and other sea life made from drift wood.

This lady was into some altered art and painted these girls on just about anything. These girls are all over the Internet, everyone paints them. Not sure who the artist was that started them. She told me she does very well at shows with then and was able to do this full time and quit her real job.

The shows in Florida are different than the ones I am use to in the north. They have of course the many jewelry booths, but most of the booths have alot to do with the sea and Florida. I think I only saw one floral booth and a couple country type booths. I think my daughter would do very well here with her shells painted with old time santa face. And the drift wood painted as well.

The weather in Florida is starting to get hot. I am ready to head north. But trip is being delayed a few days because of life happenings. You know the drill. Have to take care of things going on in life.

We were gone all day on Sat. If you want to see what else we did check out my other blog http://grammyandthepapillonprinces.blogspot.com/ we had alot of fun go check it out. Well that's all for now thanks for looking and come back soon
