I had a customer ask for a Yip Yips planter at a popup recently and to tell you the truth I didnt even know what a Yip Yip was. A fellow vendor helped me out with a picture and soon my memories returned. Most people have seen these on Sesame street and never gave them a second thought. So here is my version of a Yip Yip.

What an eerie yet amazing picture. Fog has rolled in here on the Homestead, making it appear as if the sky meets the corn field.

Did you know that "F***y packs" became popular back in the 80's. Best hands free purses ever. My kids laughed at me years later whenever I pulled mine out and used it. 40 some odd years later; it's back and more popular than ever. Of course young ones now call them satchels or banana packs or weekenders and argue when we correct them. They can call them whatever they want, they are still f***y packs to me. If lululemon can bring them back then I guess it's ok. This week I created a couple; along with some other items in anticipation of some new upcoming shows. I hope you will join me and other vendors at the Womens Auxilliary Craft event August 3rd at the Picton fairgrounds; at The Quinte West Popups August 23rd-September3rd in Centennial Park Trenton Ontario and at my From the Homestead homestead November 3,4,5,10,11,12 for The A Country Christmas Gathering . Happiness is handmade.

Just doing a little inventory check on some of the new capes and coats I have been working on lately. I hope you will hit the road with me this summer and join me at The Picton Womens Auxilliary show on August 3rd and at the Quinte West Pop-ups August 23rd-September 3rd. Then it's back home November 3,4,5,10,11,12 for the A Country Christmas Gathering tour at my (From the Homestead ) homestead. In between I will be creating up a storm.
