Manitowish Waters Craft Show

Friday, August 6 headed up north to Manitowish Waters. It was a beautiful day with lots of sunshine.
At times you get a little addicted to certain baskets, especially when they sell I always state this is my favorite basket. My large storage basket to the right of the photo sold. It found a nice home. My smelly jellies were a big hit especially Monkey Farts, sold out right away.

Have you ever had this feeling driving and thinking I have been here before. When I was a little girl my parents owned a cabin on Van Vliet lake, all of a sudden there was the road! I recall my dad saying go down the road take a P. Meaning take Hwy. P! There it was, I remember always thinking why our last name was not on the little white signs with the arrow. Things sure look different when your a kid, everything now looks so small, even the lake!

* * * * * * * * * Christmas In July * * * * * * * * *

On Thursday I celebrated Christmas in July with the folks in St. Germain Wisconsin. It was an awesome summer day for a craft show and of course the rain stayed away so everyone was out and about. Seems like St. Germain is the place to go for vacationing. Everyone was renting a cottage! I had a drawing for a free basket - Heather from Marshfield won. The basket that got the most attention was the WIRE WALL for only $12.00. I had some with handpainted snowmen, trees, daisies and ect. Everyone was buying for Christmas gifts! Seems a lot were going to fill with sweet treats!Check out my SCHEDULE OF SHOWS! Just think you could win a FREE basket.

Art & Craft Shows

Sunday I was a vendor at Randy & Carolyn Rosenberger's Art & Garden Walk. What a beautiful day. The day started out where it looked like it was going to rain, but Randy had done his rain dance and it stayed away! My husband had called in the morning stating it was sad that it was raining out - I said not here the sun is shining. We only live 2 miles away! We will never be able to figure out the weather. Greg from Iola won a Cabin Boy for the door prize drawing. Congratulations! My next show I am heading up north to Saint Germain Wisconsin. Thursday July 8 9am - 3pm. Christmas in July Craft Fair at the Community Park. I heard that Santa is going to attend and there is a pet parade! How exciting, hope to see some of my fans there. You never know when I will be giving away a FREE basket!
