I have returned. Here is my weekend in pictures. I had a great time at the festival, but I don't feel like I got any restful weekend at all! Hope I make it through this week :)


The entrance to the fair.

Sheep






Border collie herding ducks


Delicious pumpkin ice cream cone from Young's Dairy


My mom eating her ice cream cone


Purchases! Somehow I didn't end up with any handspun yarn, which bums me out, but I did get some amazing hand-dyed yarn.

A cashmere/merino blend for $7 a hank:


A beautiful mohair/wool blend:


Sock yarn:


Handmade buttons and a pin. The plan is to give one of the buttons to MIL for Christmas if I can part with one. I love them all though! We got there at 10 when they opened, and I stopped at that booth as one of my first stops and bought them, and I went back about an hour later and all the sheepy ones were gone.

After the festival, we went out for pizza at Marion's pizza, a great pizza place I hadn't been to in years.
