With Hubby's new job, he only works one Sunday a month (either the second to last, or last Sunday) instead of working every Sunday like he used to. And, even though he is now working more hours a week, it seems that we are able to spend a bit more quality time together.
Sunday's quality time was spent in a neighboring city. This is the time of year where the locals take back their town from the vacationers and we decided it would be fun to participate. So, we went down to the Boardwalk Art Show. Our pup went with us and had a fantastic time walking around with us. We even took him down on the sand so that he could romp and play. This was the first time he had been on the sand all year long. (Sorry, no pics....forgot the camera!)
This art show has tons of talent from all over the United States. I love shows like this! We always look for something unusual and different that we can give as a gift for the holidays. This year it was a grilling spatula for my BIL (Hubby's brother). The spatula had his (and my) Alma matter on it. It was exciting to see our school logo on merchandise. After all, we just started our football team a few years ago and we just became part of the CAA in the last year or so. We aren't one of the schools you would recognize, but hopefully that will change soon. Anyway, if you want more info on the spatulas, just contact John Monroe of PaddyPrints at sportulas@paddyprints.com .
The next item was a selfish purchase. As I said, I'm always on the look out for unusual and different and I found it at Silver Spoon Jewelry. I had a very hard time choosing only one item as they were all very different from anything I've ever seen.
Check out the site and let me know if you end up with any of the goodies. I have a feeling that there is another piece of this jewelry in my future. (Hint, hint Hubby!)
Last but not least, we found a photographic artist that really blew our minds. Hubby (and I) love photography, so after hearing about his process and seeing his work, we knew we had to go home with one of his pictures. Again, there were a few top contenders, but we ended up with this one. (Sorry for the craptastic photograph.....it is still in the cellophane until we find a frame. It was so hard to photograph!)

I can't wait for the next art show or craft fair in our area. I just love finding new stuff, don't you?
Happy Stitches!

Thank you for sharing the Silver Spoon Jewelry website. I noticed the piece in your last post and wondered what it was.
I just love that jewelry. I already have one of the spoon bracelets from a craft show we had in town, but now I've got my eyes on a couple other things. Thanks for posting the link.
