HI! I forgot my camera yesterday. Yesterday was the Harvest Festival on the Eastern Shore. It's always a big event. This year they did away with the BIG art tent and asked each of us to bring our own. Sooo.. I did. Thanks go to Willie Randall for unloading my car and Ed Kuhn and his wife Pat for helping me get the tent up. What blessings they were. When it was time to load up I had to do it all by myself.. with my back. I was so miserable last night and this morning.. it's getting better but that Sciatica is horrible.I"ve been sitting on a heating pack all day.

 However the day was sunny,warm, and a tiny breeze, food pretty good.. Being with my artist friends was a treat,
         1.- Ed Kuhn( carves beautiful fish and swans...) and his wife Pat,
         2.- Donna and Don Drew of Copper Creations--lovely copper art,
         3-Mama Girl( folk art, bright and bold!!),
         4-Billy Crockett( amazing miniature carver of birds) and his wife Laura,(murano jewelry),
         5- Glen Linton(carver and book author)
         6- Buck Doughty( metal sculpturer of wildlife--from old tractor parts)
         7,Lynn (jewelry),
         8- Dr. Vicki Koenig(carver and etcher of lucite blocks)..
 and so many more all wonderful artists.

I sold 2 little paintings, not much but there weren't many sales in any of us this year.. ah well. All we can do is keep creating.,right??Well I'm going to go sit on my heating pad! ha ha..

 love to each of you,Diana

 ps Sadie, the puppy, was so happy when I got home. She missed me but she did get to spend some time with John off and on during the day! :)
