My first Christmas Bazaar leads to others!!

As many of you know I was in a Christmas Bazaar Nov 5th, and while there having a great time meeting many of the people who live in our community (for the first time) I was asked to be in 2 more Bazaars and to have lunch with a couple of my new found friends.  What a wonderful Saturday I had, not only for meeting so many nice people, but my handmade Jewelry and paintings made a big hit.  I have orders for a couple more paintings, and yes, more jewelry!  I had a couple orders for more hats and scarves as well...I think when this next 6 weeks are finished my poor hands are gonna need some tender, loving care..heheheh!!!
Don't forget to stop by my Etsy shop to see what's new!!!
Here are some photos I took at the Bazaar of most of the sellers there...blessings to all of a wonderful rest of the week while keeping our Abba Father upper most in our minds...if not for HIM I wouldn't be able to do the things I do...my gifts are from HIM~~ Praise be to God!!!




This table was full of fun hats & scarves and
adorable cat & dog beds!

Great prices on this table

Just look at all the goodies!

The gentleman who made all these things was
a delight, and sat in front of me!
I bought one of his magazine racks...Only $5.00

These are more hats etc from this lady

More beautiful items for sale

This little gal who's Granny was hold her
was just so precious.

I couldn't help giving her on of my scarves with
hat, and she danced for me when I put it on her!!!

This was my table...a bit crouded, but the person who was to use
the table to my right didn't show so I was able to put all the
painting on it...it was much easier to share my jewelry up close

To the right of this one were my hats & scarves and the gal who
had all the Home Interior for sale was just about giving it away!!!
The sellers all had put very reasonable prices on their items because of
the bad economy!!!
What a blessing!!!

Giving makes my heart sing!

Good morning my dear friends!  I've been very busy getting ready for the Christmas Bazaar this weekend, Nov 5th at our local Fire Department.  I've never done one before so am really looking forward in meeting and greeting people who stop by.  I've got small earrings for just a dollar, and necklace and earring sets for $10.00 making it easier for those of us living on a very restricted budget to be able to find something nice for family and friends.  I'm adding some Christmas paintings to my table most of which are framed, and lots of scarves and hats that I made.
Many of us at our Church are members of our Outreach Program and I'm happy to say have make some lovely things for one of the local Nursing Homes in the area.  We also provide food from our "Closet" for those in need.  Here are some of the lap blankets I've made to give.



I know for me, giving makes me so happy...we don't have much money, but there other ways to give...your time, your love, compassion....just think about the ways you can give of yourself to others!!!
Blessings.

Look at the snow we got yesterday!!! "October"

It's amazing how the weather has changed in the last year...Who would of thought VA would get a big snow storm in October???  Way back in the 1800's we had one, and in 1979 we had a dusting...but this was amazing in that the first flakes to drop the size of a small pancake...not kiddin!!  It rained first then turned into snow during the night...snowed most the day yesterday...then the sun came up this morning and once the temp reached above freezing the snow began to melt...here are some photos from earling this morning!!!
Off the front deck
Look at the leaves!

Out in front of our home

The trees were beautiful but so full of wet snow
many branches fell off causing problems

Just look at the fall leaves with the snow on them

 I took this photo of our roses just the day before!!
Blessings to all for a safe and productive week ahead..
Remember who loves us most!!!
Our Father!!!

We've enjoyed driving around the mountains and surrounding towns!

It's wonderful to share all these photos of the changing leaves on all the trees in the mountains of VA.  We've covered areas up near where we live that we've never seen so the photos were really fun to take...hope you like them too!
Blessings!

The Church I attend

Just look at that color change!

This the entrance to our house



I can just visualize the family who lived here many years ago~


A fun Shop to visit!


We love to own this old house..huh

This place is usually filled with families picking out their
pumpkins...there's far more inside...All kinds of apples and baked goods. Yummm

The weather is changing up here in the mountains. COLD!!!

I deleted the last post cuz all the photos of the jewelry I'd created in the past 2 wks were not good at all...here they are looking a bit better....Have a wonderful Friday and upcoming weekend! 
                                             



























I am so happy to find a place where I can get lovely charms, pendants,
spacers and chains for a great price, and that I'm able to
share that savings with you by pricing items, and sets much lower!!!
Blessings for a wonderful weeked.
