So this weekend I was down in Peoria, Illinois for another “glitter gig.”
After the event, I spent some time with my “first art fair friends” Gerry & Rosene.
I met them years ago at my very first art fair… in Sandwich, Illinois!!!

I thought I knew what I was doing, but I was SO wrong. So there I was there struggling
to get my booth together, pottery sitting all over the place, nothing priced and in the
way of everyone else trying to get through. Lucky for me, I had a couple of veterans
right across the aisle. They took me under their wing and helped me through the show!
And we’ve been friends every since. They’ve retired from the craft fair circuit, and have
focused on gardening in their own backyard – and hosting an annual Garden Sale.
Complete with a HUGE assortment of beautiful perennials all split from their own plants.

Lucky for me, I left once again with a car full of “lovely parting gifts.”
Now I just need to find the time to get them all into the ground!!!

A HUGE thank you once again to my friends Gerry & Rosene!!! You guys rock.
