we liked this as my friend jerry always says this to me... not that i'm not nice, but apparently he feels i could be nicer.....cant tell in the pic, but it was HUGE

these were lights created with old rusty fencing ~ way to trash to treasure !

new friends we met and LOVED - home girl - her booth would have occupied you for hours !!!

gina and brian were just our type of people...wish we lived closer..we would be fast friends i have no doubt!
