More New Items

I've been busy outdoors the past couple of days but I did get some of the photos I took this past weekend uploaded into the store.



I took this photo as the sun was setting on the Hoover Trail in Morning Sun, Iowa on Sat. evening. I know Teasel is a weed but I thought it was pretty as the sun was setting. It used to be used in floral arrangements and they say that is how it spread as a weed.

I took this during the fall festival in Bentonsport, Iowa.



A pumpkin I decorated for autumn with glitter.



A soybean Give Thanks To The Farmers, Happy Thanksgiving Card from a photo I took as the sun was setting on a soybean field.



I was also happy to see someone from Belle Plaine, Iowa purchased one of my newest posters in the store. Thanks to the buyer!

I have one of the last Farmers Markets of the year tonight. I counted up and after tonight between the two markets I go to I'll only have 4 more nights at Farmers Markets until next year. Hopefully since the weather is so nice lots of people will be out at the market but I also know that a lot of the farmers are still busy bringing in the harvest and so that means that they are too busy to make it to the market. I made a few more collages yesterday that will be available for sale at the Farmers Markets. Maybe if I am lucky I will sale some more items at the markets this year. Well I better get busy I need to take some photos of some vintage bird cards I got at an antique store recently and also work on my store some before the market tonight. I'm going to leave a bit early and also check out a book sale before the market. Maybe there will be some great bargains there. I'd love to find a few more vintage children's books with chickens in them.

Busy Weekend

Had a busy but fun weekend enjoying the nice summer-like temps. Yesterday I went on a drive and took a ton of photos. Today I added some new items to the store.


Here are some of the newest items in the store.

I met a cute little frog on Sat. at a nature area. I picked him/her up and took a few photos and then released it back to the wild unharmed. I went looking for the Pelicans I had seen the day before at the nature area but they had already flown the coop on their fall migration to warmer areas. I did see plenty of frogs and other wildlife though. I need to get a telephoto lens for the camera someday as several of the birds were just too far away to get any good photos with the lens I have.

A Bokeh birthday card. I created this photo when taking photos of the glitter pumpkin I created.




Here is one of the glitter pumpkins I created with a bunch of mod podge and glitter. There were some mini pumpkins for sale at the Farmers Market Friday evening so I bought a few and decorated them.

And a photo of some pretty weeds/wildflowers that I added a texture from Shadowhouse Creations to.



I have a lot of other photos I took this weekend also and will be uploading more of them to the store in the next few weeks. Now I am going out to enjoy this lovely summer-like day. See ya later!
