Getting Ready for Fairfield

I'm finishing up labeling and tagging all my merchandise so I can start packing the car.  I leave for Connecticut on Friday.  Barb and I will be vending once again at the Fairfield-Grace Rug Show.  It is the 50th annual show, can you believe that? I have heard rumors that it may be the last, but I'm hoping that is not true.

I have some new rug patterns this year, as well as new needle punch patterns.  You can see a bit of Mary's Crab there on the right side of the photo, and Paisley Heart in the center.  I'm also working up some kits for people who want a quick and easy project.  Barb will have her hand-dyed wool in all those magnificent colors along with her whimsical woolly creations.  We both hope you'll stop by and see us if you are in the neighborhood.
