The last 2 weeks...

Ok so this is way over-due, but none the less....

The last 2 weeks have been a whirlllllll!!!!

Last week we were at Gathering Of The Vibes in Bridgeport, CT. (the Puppets, that is).

The Green Man and the Fire God gettin' down.

Boys having fun.

The crew.

This dragonfly was HUGE! It got stuck under the sail we had up and was tired from trying to get out... Don't worry, he made it out safely!

Trouble makers...

I finally got a glow hoop this summer and have been totally psyched to spin at night!

...

Then when we got home I was reminded of the Sidewalk Days here in Fishtown...

(I have photos of the rest of the week, but for some reason my camera does not want to cooperate and won't let me upload anything... BOOO!!!)

That was 3 days of vending by myself and although I couldn't go far from my booth it was a much needed outcome!!!!

WOOOHOOO!!!

So that is some $$$ towards the car that I now need to find...

I also harvested my garlic last week, I am pretty excited about that.

Home grown garlic far surpasses anything you will buy in a store!

I have also been harvesting elderberries, thyme, oregano and a few other things here and there...

Now we are counting down the days (there are like 2 left before we leave) until Be Here Now up at Harry's Hill in Maine.

It is a real bummer not having a car, especially when we have a festival to be at since that means renting a vehicle.

That part is totally sucky... And expensive!!!

Anyways, that has been my past two weeks.

I think I also have to work on making more things for the next shows, since my stock is low now from the Sidewalk Days!

Hope you are all having a beautiful week!!!

Part 1: A week on the road starts in China... Maine

Wow! It has been a long week on the road.

But now we are home and super tired but we get a week and a half with the "kids" (a.k.a. dogs and bird) before we are off to the next engagement...

This past week was crazy busy, but overall lots of fun!

We left Tuesday for China, ME. where we were to meet friends and spend a couple of nights at a cabin on China Lake before our school performance the next day.

Of course, we left waaaay later than I wanted to and we also got lost trying to find the place (the first of many wrong turns), but we made it and were so happy we did!

This cabin (that slept 6) was great!

I wish I thought to take pictures of the inside because it was beautiful. All new with wood pannel, a loft and 2 bedrooms!

It was our friend, Jenn's, birthday, so her sister came along also.

We got there and they wanted to catch the Celtics game at a sports barn a couple of towns over.

I am not a sports person, but they said there was pinball so I thought, "what the heck?!?" and we decided to join them.

Sadly, there was no pinball and the Celtics lost by the way, booo!

We didn't even finish watching the game, it was that bad...

And of course, we got lost on the way home, too!

...

The next day was our school performance which was a CRAZY mixup from the start...

Our friends we stayed in the cabin with were also performing there as well and it seemed like everyone had a different idea of what was going on.

It was a really busy day, but we all worked together and it all worked out!

That night we really appreciated being in that lovely cabin.

Birthday family.

Jenn's Mom came to celebrate her birthday (and brought awesome clothes for us to go through and have, I love her!) and our friend, Jason brought the biggest marshmallows I have ever seen!

MMMM! S'mores!

Oh and sparklers! SOOO FUN!!!

(I am realizing now that I should really have taken more photos!)

...

We really wanted to stay another day and thought we might because the next day it was raining pretty hard and it would have been a nightmare to set up for the festival (which was an hour away) in the rain.

The rain stopped though and that was our sign to get on the move to our next destination.

And that story is for tomorrow!

How was your week?
