Crafty Neighbors
First of all, I need to apologize for not posting for so long. All 5, read it again, all 5 of the kids got rotovirus. Several hospital trips later, we seem to be alright. WHEW. I should get a medal of some sort I suppose, but, as my grandmother said, what would that medal look like? I cleaned up and did wash for 5 sick kids?? Oh well, I digress.
Today, one of our first days out, we attended a craft show to benefit the high school. I know, I wasn’t thrilled either, but my neighbor teaches at the school and one of the handicapped classes had an exhibit to raise money for a party. So, off we went.
You know, I am truly sorry that I didn’t bring more money, believe it or not.
There were a few booths that really, really intrigued me. One was a lady who had all sorts of red hat items…really cool ones. Since my grandmother is a “queen mum” I found that fascinating.
The other was cheese and snack trays crafted from these exquisite vodka bottles. The lady actually takes bottles and fires them, and reshapes them to these beautiful art works. Several of the bottles had Van Gogh paintings on them. Wow. I got her card and plan on doing some Christmas shopping later. I mean, wouldn’t those make great hostess gifts?
The other booth was one called tastefully simple. They have gourmet foods for busy people to make from mixes that taste like homemade. They actually had a key lime dessert ball. Wow. You can eat it with graham crackers and it makes a festive dip.
The next festival to raise money for the school will be held November 17 and 18. If you are in the area, I’d stop by Indian River High school in Chesapeake.
