These exquisite hand-woven beaded bracelets . . .

were made by Jim Gentry. Aren't they wonderful!

Katrina Miller hand sculpts copper yard ornaments with fine detailing. Always whimsical and fun!

They are located in Weaverville, NC. However, through the magic of the internet, you can reach them at: birdfootridge@frontier.com

Here's Dolly holding her blue toy from her Aunt Carol over at Brown Quilts. Carol's mom is in the hospital right now with anemia and pneumonia. Perhaps you might want to stop by Brown Quilts and leave her a get well message.

Until then, keep stitchin' . . .

I went, I saw, AND I took pictures!

You may recall that the John C. Campbell Fall Festival is always held the first weekend in October. Despite the crisp chilly weather yesterday, they had a very large crowd.

Knowing that, I like to go very early on Sunday morning when there is space in the booths to take pictures.

I visit with various friends who are vendors, enjoy viewing the lovely workmanship which seems to get better each year . . .

And head home.
This year I made a new friend, but don't think Dolly would appreciate the competition, so I left her there.

I'll share more pictures throughout the week.

Until then, keep stitchin' . . .
