Well market is over and here I sit at LAX airport waiting 11 hrs for our next flight on our 45hr journey home. Tired but satisfied after a great and exciting market. We met many new friends, revisited with old, made many plans, started some exciting projects and shared our treasures and designs with many. I will leave you with a few more images from the past few days and by the time you read this we will be home and back into full swing.

firstly the lovely Cori from Chitter Chatter Designs had her first market booth right next to ours

and she won second prize for best single booth – a huge honour and well deserved. She had her ever supportive mum and dad and oldest daughter Madison on hand to help out. Maddie is the maker of the famous Pincess Pins.P1030845

We shared some great times with new and old friends, this one was a the famous Britt Pub – can you recognise anyone?

I will leave you with some images of Minneapolis, it is a beautiful city, clean and green, safe and exciting with buskers along the mall, lots of outside cafes and street life and people watching to pass the time in the balmy evenings.Wonderful buildings and architecture and a labyrinth of skyways connecting all of buildings for blocks at a time.

 

 

 

 

And finally, for the kids, some glimpses of the Mall of America!

be home soon

hugs, Helen
