Friday Smies 490: At the Art Fair

 

It's Friday and time to join Friday Smiles which is hosted by Annie (at A Stitch in Time).   Let's visit her and the other wonderful ladies who also share their smiles each Friday.  But first, I want to show my sincere apologies for not visiting or leaving comments to any of the Friday Smiles participants.   I hope you won't kick me out of the club!

Last Friday I spent most of my day filling out questions for possible jury duty. Saturday I got sick from the heat when I went to an art fair, and I was so sick I don't even remember Sunday.  At the strike of midnight on Monday I watched every minute of the Queen's funeral. I was so out of it, I almost forgot to create a T Tuesday post,which goes live at 4 p.m. Monday my time. I had planned to visit on Wednesday, but that didn't happen because I was called back to the jury room, after which I got my second COVID booster, this time getting rather sick.  This was a different type booster than I had before.  Looks like I will be on jury duty soon, so I won't have any way to visit, since I don't have an I-thingy, a tablet, pad, laptop, or cell phone, none of which I would be allowed to access, anyway.

 I'll take you back to the Autumn and Art Fair I went to last Saturday.  If you want to see the first booths I visited, here is that post.

As I mentioned in my previous post, I got several backs, as people stepped in front of me.  This lady even stood directly in front of my lens for several minutes.  She finally moved a bit, so I could get a couple of photos of the pottery.  I know some people of my internet friends really like pottery, and I even considered using this for a T Tuesday post.  However, I got tired of the woman not moving and not letting me get closer, so I gave up and moved on.

I came back later to take a photo of these, which I think are brooches.  Unfortunately, as I was taking a photo, a different woman ran into my arm and camera.   I decided this booth was too dangerous, so I moved on with only this legible photo of part of the display.

I was really mesmerized by this booth.

Let's get a bit closer.

Have you guessed yet?

Maybe seeing some on this side of the booth will help.  Yes, a woman walked in front of me as I took these.

Years and years and years ago, my foodie friend Sally gave me a kit that included a mold (and all the additions) to make my own decorative concrete blocks.  This is what you are looking at.  My kit included a set of alphabet stamps to place in the wet concrete, too.  I may just get that kit out next spring a make a few decorations to hang on my fence, rather than to place in the ground.

I took these for me.  I LOVE copper and I LOVE rust.  This booth had both.

I didn't exactly care for all the chains hanging off the arms of the sculpture, but I loved the head, body, and bird.  I'll share more from this booth in another post.

I think everyone knows why I stopped at this booth!  Granted, the sea horses are cute,

but all the Friday Smiles ladies know the sea horses are NOT why I was drawn to this booth.

Yes, Lisca collects and loves turtles.  This is like me collecting rocking horses.  Check out that teeny tiny turtle on the end.  I looked at the price, which was on the belly of the turtle.

The teeny, tiny turtle was $49.00 (USD).  I can only imagine how much the larger ones cost.

I'll leave the rest for another day.  Now PLEASE visit Annie  and don't forget to start your weekend with a smile.

Here are a few funnies.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

  

I hope you found a few of these funny.  I know I did.
