A Fair in the Woods Part 2

 Some artist cleverly carved tree trunks around the festival grounds.

 Wind spinners and a random fair visitor.

 When we were leaving, there were cars as far as the eye could see.

 And cows....lots of cows.

 We passed a home that was selling quilts.

 Lots of quilts.


 Now for what I bought.  I stocked up on maple syrup.  I live in fear of running out of maple syrup and I don't even eat it.

 Now maple cream, on the other hand, I do eat.  It is wonderful spread on a piece of homemade bread.

 The Blog Tech and his father love maple sugar candy. And maple coated nuts.

 Yep...more brooms.  Another turkey tail broom.

 Halloween pillows. Click for a better look.

 These Halloween books are actually journals.

 A Thanksgiving pillow.

 And my favorites.....

 Fall signs!

 There are lots of things happening in my backyard this fall.

 And to placate The Blog Tech since I made him throw away his pulled pork parfait, I made him a pot roast parfait.

 I layered shredded pot roast with mashed potatoes.

 And topped it off with some BBQ sauce I made the other day.

 And added a 'cherry' tomato.

 He was very, very pleased.

They were actually killer good.  These would be so much fun to serve at a party.  Kids would love them too, even big kids!

Beautiful brooms! They are hard to find here but There's a man coming to Falköping every autumn that sell brooms like those, not that beautiful though but close to :-)

Those cookies are a bit dangerous :-) The first one tastes ok, the second is rather wonderful and the tthird and till there's no one left are delicious :-)

Lots of nice quilts too, the red one especially.

The face on the tree runk is just fantastic!

Have a great day!
Christer.

That looks so much like the Shaker Woods Festival in Ohio, if not, they are twin festivals!
SMILE James would so love the pork parfait - he can't eat dairy so this he can and would love! What a very clever idea and I'm gonna steal it.

Love your signs and brooms - the fair looks like my kinda thing.

Love Leanne

It looks like a fun day and SO popular judging by all those cars! Maple in any form is very good but I've never tried maple cream?
Your back yard looks brilliant!
Canadians live in fear of running out of maple syrup too.
