I have been thinking flowers, flowers, flowers, lately! I wonder why? Could it really be all of the wonderful colorful blooming plants everywhere around me? No! That can't be it! LOL!

I found this flower and I really love the colors that have been added to it. It almost looks like you could really find a flower like this in your own backyard.  It would be a flower that is just yellow and "normal" when looked at from the front but turn it around and you would get a colorful surprise!  This makes me wish that neon colors were used more in nature!

SPRING FLOWERS

Spring is in full swing here in my little part of the world so yesterday I just had to get out and take some pictures.  I took all of these pictures from trees and plants blooming and budding on my road!!  It is like a color explosion!  

CATS OF POPLAR BRANCH

What are you looking at?  (The Mighty SnowBall has been caught as she was trying to be stealthy)    

Hey! What you got in there? Looks interesting!  I love other people's houses. 

 You want to let me in don't you?  You are getting very sleepy....  Or, Wait is that me?

I'm very sleepy!  

I love to sleep!!

GRASSFIELD HIGH SCHOOL SPRING CRAFT SHOW EPISODE TWO

.......WE FIND OUR CRAFT SHOW HEROS MUCH IN THE SAME PLACE WE LEFT THEM!

HIDING UNDER THEIR BOOTH FROM THE TALL HIGH SCHOOL STUDENT IN THE STRANGE BUNNY OUTFIT  :) 

Meeting other great crafters aside our little show was not well attended by the public! So, therefore, we found ourselves, at some point in the afternoon, looking much like this:

and this:

OK BACK TO THE CRAFTERS!

This is Anja (left) and her sister (right).  Anja makes greeting cards, photo journals, and she does needle felt.  I met her at the Great Bridge High School Spring Craft Show but I was not able to get pictures of her booth.  She is also an Etsy Seller and T-REX  (from yesterday's post) is one of her creations.

AND SO ENDS OUR LITTLE CRAFT SHOW!  WE LEFT WITH ONLY A LITTLE MORE MONEY THAN WE CAME WITH (we made a few bucks and the booth fee back) AND A NICE DINNER INVITE FROM HANDAN.

THANKS FOR TUNING IN AND CHECK BACK NEXT TIME FOR MORE ADVENTURES IN CRAFT SHOW LAND.

GRASSFIELD HIGH SCHOOL SPRING CRAFT SHOW EPISODE ONE

WE CAME. WE SAW, WE SAT,  GRANDMA VISITED

AND T-REX WAS IN A MUCH BETTER MOOD AFTER HE HAD HIS COFFEE!

AND NOW FOR SOME BOOTH PICTURES AND GENERAL CRAFT SHOW WACKINESS!!!

This is  jewelry that is colorful and elegant with a bit of fun thrown in.  This jewelry was made by a women from Turkey and she gets all of her beautiful beads from Istanbul.  She is super friendly and we had a great time talking and getting to know each other.  

HELLO GRANDMA!!

Justin's Grandma and his Uncle came to visit us at our booth.  It was really nice to see them and his Grandma bought some of my bath salt.  

LUNCH TIME

Justin and I bring our lunch to shows because of my digestive issues and we're vegetarians and can't eat too many hotdogs and the like.  We got lunch from Sea Side; the one and only vegetarian restaurant on the Outer Banks of NC!! We took some pictures because half eaten food pictures are cool and we were very bored!!
