The beauty is that this way you connect with your readers. So many of you out there know what I am talking about.
At this bazaar, I learned how to braid rugs and make Christmas Tea. I got the names of the right type of paint for decorating old milk cans and tea kettles. I bought some jewelry made from old eyeglass lenses. Also bought a fruitcake. Learned of how a woman I used to work with has lost a parent to cancer. I give you a picture of this slice of life. Many more will be posted to my website. See you there!
