It's FAIR SEASON!!

What? Did you think just because we moved across the country we were going to STOP going to county fairs? Ohhhhh no! This weekend we ventured out into the 100 degree heat and went to the Boulder County Fair. It was GREAT! I got my fill of farm animals, we sampled some homemade fair food, and stepped in a lot of crap. That's what I call a perfect morning!

Here is Violet checking out the horses. She LOVES her horse books. She was completely freaked out by them in real life. I have SO much work to do!
What else? Petting the goats. There were incredibly friendly goats at this fair that just LOVED to be pet. I was in Goat Heaven.
Even Jon got in on the action...
And some chickens.

A cute little ice cream/gelato shop opened up right down our street. We got Violet her own teeny tiny cone of Blueberry Gelato. She LOVED it!
In other news, I am happy to announce that I have started my own teeny tiny business! I started sewing bibs for Violet a while back and was having so much fun (and had SO MUCH fabric) that I decided to start my own store on Etsy selling them and some other goodies.

Here is a sample of what I'm selling... you can click on the images to go to the listing.




For those of you not familiar with Etsy, it's a really nifty website featuring all handmade items from around the country. Anyone that is crafty can set up shop and sell whatever they make. You can find fine art, ceramics, clothing, accessories, and of course BABY STUFF. Plus I like that you buy directly from the crafter. I think you'll like it!

Anyway, keep me in mind if you ever need that perfect gift for a baby shower or just want your kid to look "hip" when you go out for dinner. I'm happy to do custom bibs for special occasions!
