Too Much To Say

So much going on around here I can't pick a topic to stick to. So, I'll summarize in pictures.

first there was the beach. great time with sweet friends.

then there's the booth downtown where I'm now selling some of gremlina's vintage wares.

then we had the indie market, which is always fun.

and we'll end with our first real day of homeschooling, today. it wasn't laborious, so don't worry too much. stories, letters, verses, circle time...more tomorrow!

Each of these things is somewhat lessened by being listed in this manner, but I assure you, they're all significant and there will surely more about them later.

Meeting People & selling things...

she was spunky.

What a beautiful (yet hot & windy) day it was yesterday! Those of you we bumped into, hope you had a great time at the Shindig--it seemed to be a huge success, I know we walked away having had a great time.

It's so refreshing to meet new people & learn more about the folks that make up our community. That is what's missing in the internet-shopping world. There's so much you can learn from chatting with someone about an old honey pot or antique ball gown. The memories, the hope, the excitement of remembering how much simpler things were, and in many ways hot everything is still the same... (Gremlina vintage set up shop at the event).

Days like yesterday really grow my desire for having a steady location, a community gathering place where folks can come play dress up & be nostalgic. What a vision I have for a place...

Anyway, I'm stopping in, after a long day of recuperation, to share just a few pics. I really only took 5--we were BUSY! & to encourage everyone, near & far, to get out to the next street festival in your town, to shop or sell. They are such a great way to see what is really going on near you.
