Holiday Happening - Autumnfest in Southern Illinois

Hi there. How are you today? 

The holiday season is upon us. Can you believe it?  My first holiday show happens this weekend,  right here in Carterville. 

Autumnfest Arts & Craft Fair

November 10th & 11th 2012
Saturday, 9:00am – 4:00pm
Sunday, 10:00am – 4:00pm

John A Logan College
Carterville, Illinois
*I'll be in the Multi-Purpose Room.

I will be debuting my fabric hoop prints at this show. (So excited about these!) 

 Last night I did a little test hanging to see how they'd look all together.  

I picked up this the louver door at a yard sale for $2.00. Score!

I will also have a large selection of prints, cards and original works available along with my 2013 calendars. Hope to see you there!

Ta-Ta for now.  

And don't forget...I'm still offering a 20% discount on anything in my etsy shoppe with code EARLY20.

Hi! How are you?

It was a pretty week in Southern Illinois....Kinda hard to believe it's November!

My parents came down for a visit. We took a walk around Campus Lake at SIU.

Matt made Mexican style pickled vegetables. Heavenly!

Have a great rest of the week. Ta-Ta!

Week/Weekend iPhoneography

Hi there! How are you?

My now weekly iPhoto post seems to keep creeping later and later into the week! Better late than never. Right?

The week started out warm and sunny. I wore my flippies to work on Thursday. 

On Friday, winter came. I had to break down and turn on the heat and break out my boots and coats. 

Despite the cold, there was still much goodness to be had at the farmer's market, which runs all the way through November! 

Matt went up to Rockford to visit Jack. 

He attended a Halloween party dressed as Giorgio Tsoukalos of Ancient Aliens fame.

I stayed home and went to see the Woodbox Gang at SIU. 

 I didn't get any good pics of the band but managed to get these of the ceiling and pipe organ.

We had to finally say goodbye to the garden on Sunday. 

Before the frost set in, we were able to pick a slew of green tomatoes.

 I've had them in paper bags since I picked them and they are ripening nicely.

Have a great rest of the week friends! Ta-ta!
