Gratitude ~

As I sit here 

trying to write a post on this blog 

about the show here this past saturday ~

I realize just how blessed we are.

everything came together

everything 'worked' this year….

my heart is so very full.

the weather was perfect,

the crowd was fantastic….

the only thing I wish for was that my little shop were BIGGER !!!!

(I do so apologize for it being so blasted hot in there, but yikes! we were crowded, weren't we?)

I am tired. exhausted, really ~ but in such a way as I would do it all again tomorrow.

Seeing you all with those smiles,

getting to put names-to-faces

and receiving wonderful hugs (although quite sweaty!)

was the absolute highlight of the day for me….

ok, enough chatter ~

here are some snaps for you….

this is the shop about 10 minutes before we opened the gate ~

{it was so pretty & neat & tidy…that did NOT last long!}

Let's head outside, shall we??
