a friend whose name I have forgotten, owned the craft store The Rag Doll and I use to help her at busy times just for fun. I think it was before Sandra was born. Her store was where Krista Lee had Apple Cheeks

I have a certain aura that follows me– some say is a bit odd. But I run my own pirate ship, and my Jolly Roger flies high. I really worry about those that think inside the box. So what would I find at this craft show that was held yesterday at our local Carleton Place arena?
This is Shannon Murray O’Neill and Chrysanthe Michaelis. They were the promoters for this great affair. I know what it’s like to put on a craft show. It’s hard work, and devotion, and believing in your local community. Personally, you have to be out of your mind to do something like this. Yes, the job is that intense! But what a great job they did!
This is Eric Davignon who does abstract and fine art. Everything there was out of the box!
This is seedling yarn. You have heard of comfort food? She “comfort knits”. Warm cozy things for families. I just wanted to watch her knit, instead, I told her it took me 7 years to cable stitch a scarf.
This woman takes your grandmother’s crocheted doilies and permanently puts the doily design on her recycled clay products. This way Granny is always with you drinking coffee. She just Kiln Me Softly with her pottery.
I jumped for joy when I bumped into Andrea of Homemade by Andrea. She reminded me of Maurice Sendak stories with her creatures. I said hello to each one personally for you.
This is Penny Foster. She lives on the 9th line.When I met her, I finally met my match. Not only does she have soap and things, she has a plan for our local community. She also has the only chip bag you’ll ever have with zero calories – The Beckwitch makes these too! Perfect for that person who has everything! I am not going to tell you anymore about her. You will have to wait until this week!
Who knew Carleton Place took a walk on the wild side? Next time, you had best check it out!
Embrace your YOU ness.:)
