The Ontario County Arts Council fundraiser was held last Saturday. I must say, they did a fantastic job. The event was fun, they carried the theme well throughout the activities, and I’m guessing they did okay raising $$. (Although I’m positive that the event cost LOTS of volunteer hours. And of course u have no idea what their fundraising target was, so no clue if they hit it.)
I was pleased that both of my hats sold. I think the winning bid on each was $30 each, but to be honest I sort of lost track.
Here are 2 of my favorites.
If I recall correctly, the maker of this hat said she used actual peacock, goose, turkey, chicken, and duck feathers. It was beautifully balanced and drop dead gorgeous.
This fun hat had a mama chicken and three little fuzzy chicks. It made me smile.
Now for some beauty from my garden.
My crabapple tree is always a knockout. I draw lots of compliments from passers-by. It has grown from a small sapling to a large beauty in just a decade.
A few years ago I planted a double-flowered kerria near the crab, and they always flower together with their beautiful complementary colors.
I wove a few scarves and have some more towels on the loom, but nothing to show yet. Maybe next time you stop by. ;-)
