Here’s a look at what I bought at the craft fair this morning. A pair of copper circle earrings (about an inch in diameter) from Laurie Flannery who apparently does not have a website, yet has some beautiful things, and a little, “caged pearl” ring from Julie A. White I bought my swirly, pearl earrings last year.

Really, this craft show has such beautiful things on display–jewelry, pottery, textiles, glass, iron, wood . . . all so gorgeous. And as secure as I am in my own skin and knowing my own talents–I may not be master-class, but I can knit anything I want to knit, I can spin just fine, my embroidery and baking skills are excellent, and I can read almost anyone under the table–still, walking those aisles, I am always forcibly reminded . . . there are so many things I simply cannot do!

The weather wasn’t as beautiful as we’d hoped, there was even a spritz of rain or so–not enough to worry about, but enough that we really had no regrets leaving the show when we did. My sister-and-family did come by this afternoon–my niece did find a (gorgeous, purple) dress for the Homecoming–Chappy was delighted to see everybody and has been resting up ever since they left. (They all went to Applebee’s for supper. I stayed home and cooked some pasta, which sounds anti-social, I know, but was certainly not meant that way.)

Anyway, it’s been a good day. And Fall is definitely in the air!
