I love Halloween! It's finally here, the chill in the air is always a welcome sign for me that my favorite time of the year is at hand. Halloween is the beginning of "THE HOLIDAYS", that time when we all bundle up and hunker down for the whirlwind of what is the last three months of the year.

Fall is in the air

Art on the Farmland
We never made it to the Fermentation Fest. Our accidental discovery of the art in the FarmArt D’Tour, not only by mostly local artists but also by farmers living along the route, was more than we could have hoped for. It was art. It was craft. It was clever ingenuity. I’m sure their 2nd one will be even better. And despite the 12 hours it takes for us to drive to Wisconsin, I’m sure we’ll be there to see it.

Make Your Everyday Things Handmade Things
In hopes of helping those who still may be in possession of this mindset, I am going to admit to once having thought in this way:
Sure, it's great to support handmade and local sellers, but I don't always need and/or have the money for those little "extras." After I go to the store to pick up my everyday essentials for living, I don't always want to buy some cute little handmade trinket.
Solution: be sure your everyday things are handmade (or vinage!) things!!
Sometimes people (including myself) forget that buying handmade doesn't have to be a luxury, it can be a lifestyle. You may not need a mustache on a stick, but everyone needs an ink pen! And you may find fingerless gloves impractical on a winter day in Kansas, but real gloves and mittens are always great!
So please check out these fabulous, functional items from Kansas Etsians!
