“Second verse, same as the first”… another murky & monochromatic morning.
Looks like the smoky haze from the Canadian wildfires is back with us for a few days… ugh.

A huge THANK YOU to everyone who came out to the Glenview Summer Art Fair this weekend. We had perfect weather both days… with some rain overnight which didn’t affect us at all… whew! So much fun seeing so many people enjoying the weekend & appreciating local artisans. A lot of pots found their new forever homes!

My art fair booth flowers survived the weekend as well… so now they get to hang out a few extra days in a nice stamped & soda-fired vase on my back porch! I love a good oval vase as they spread the flowers out a bit more side-to-side… instead of just slamming them into a circular vase opening.

Another murky & monochromatic Monday morning.
My weather app showed clear & sunny this morning… they lied.

Ah, the “glamorous “ part of art fairs… packing up the pots, taking apart the shelves, tearing down the tent, packing the car… and hoping you remember how it all fit in when your brought it all in the first place. Fingers crossed...

And oh, but wait there’s more… I get to unpack the car again tonight when I get home too. Whew!!!

You gotta love when your art fair friend brings your fresh flowers from her garden for your booth display! I mean, I’m sure she knew I would have plenty of vases to put them in! Thanks Rhonda… you’re the best… they’re beautiful!!!!

Day Two of the GLENVIEW SUMMER ART FAIR and the shelves are restocked for another great day. C’mon out to Booth 24 to say “Hi”… we’re on the corner of Lake & Waukegan until 5:00pm!!!

Perfect flowers. Perfect timing.

Just a couple minutes until the GLENVIEW SUMMER ART FAIR begins! We’ll be here today & tomorrow from 11:00am-5:00pm in Booth 24 at Lyon Elementary School at Lake & Waukegan. Lots of great artists & artwork… a beautiful shade tree to boot!!!

Mugs for the non-coffee drinker?… try making it a small succulent planter! Drill a hole in the bottom for drainage, or just add a layer of pebbles before planting. The cutest!!!

And just one quick photo… to show that my morning photos shoots don’t always go according to plan!!! But I’ll still try… and take one for the team!
