Finally with the nice weather we were able to barbecue and ... wait for it ...
sit outside!!!!!!!!!!!! It felt good to sit under the umbrella even if cars and sirens did go by. Something about eating outdoors just makes the food taste that much better. And the barbecue helps too - steaks, burgers, chicken, ribs, fish, veggies - whatever, taste so much better on the barbie! Of course a nice, cold cooler helps too.
This weekend too was our annual May Days. I haven't been to it in years but went with our son and his wife and our 9 mo.old grandson. I was impressed and proud that our little ol' town of Ladner put on such a great fair. There was a midway with rides and games for young and old, concession stands, vendors with their homemade goodies and handmade wares, a bandstand with continuous entertainment, softball tournament, petting zoo (which is the one thing my grandson would have loved and somehow we missed it) and of course a beer tent to keep the men happy. Actually the beer tent was a popular place.
My grandson, although too young to enjoy the rides or goodies, did win 2 small prizes with a little help from daddy - so he was pretty happy. He had a smile on his face the whole time. He seems to be in his element when around people or activities. He`s going to be a going concern - but a good concern - especially when I am the grandma!
I also added some stickpins to my Etsy shop. My daughter has been busy with moving and work so has not had time to set up her lampworking table and equipment. So I bought some beads from a wholesale bead store and made some new stickpins. I designed cards to display them on and grouped them in sets of 3. I photographed them all (oh yeah - hubby bought me a new light box - love it!) and added 2 of the sets to my shop. I made 7 sets but I`ll add a couple at a time as I want to spread my listings out a bit.
Here`s the 2 sets that I added. There are individual photos in my shop. Also, this is what the packaging looks like.
So, how was your weekend?
