Craft show

It's a gloomy, rainy, Sunday so what could be better than go to the craft show in search of a present! I would usually go with the "girlfriends" but because I was on a mission ~ I dragged hubby with.  I had this idea for something special and of course the crafter wasn't there but we did manage to get his name and website.  In a couple of weeks our first grandchild will be turning "1" and even though we can't be there in person our love and wishes for a Happy 1st Birthday will be!  Hopefully, the "special" gift will be there in time as well...

At the craft show I did manage to stop and admire the goods in the P R Gallery booth, formally known as just Pat Richter's booth!  A sweet couple bought her company and Pat still paints the beautiful pictures that she is known for. I love what this woman does in the way of prints that include Longaberger baskets ~ which by the way is another one of my favorite things!   I have several Pat Richter prints and managed to find a little one today that's perfect for a spot in the bathroom that needed a little something. 

One thing always leads to another ~ cause now I need to repaint a blue shelf to black to match!!!

I've been going to craft shows for many, many years now ~ I truly love seeing what is new and of course the old time favorites.   I still have many of the things I've bought over the years and could most likely tell you who I was with or even a little story about when the certain item was bought!   Our mailbox is a wooden mailbox that was purchased 20+ years ago, but I still love it.  It was made by Pat Richter's husband before she became popular with her prints!!!    Two very crafty, creative and artistic people...
