The Philadelphia Flower Show

Yesterday Ed and I took My parents to the Philadelphia Flower Show. It was actually part of there Christmas present that Santa had brought them. This years theme is the movies, specifically Disney movies, all though there where a couple of other movies that weren't Disney represented. The displays them selves where more of an inspiration from the movie, not so much an exact place from the movie. It was a wonderful day and everyone had a great time.

After the show we went across the street to the Reading Terminal Market. Unfortunately not everything is open on a Sunday, since a great number of vendors are Amish or Mennonite they don't open on a Sunday. There is still enough open to enjoy a trip over before going home.All in all a great day.

Gathering of the Guilds

Today was the Gathering of the Guilds in Harrisburg, PA. It's a wonderful mix of all types of handy crafts with beautiful finished art pieces. There are wheat weavers, all sorts of neddle crafts, spinning, weaving and much more.

I enjoy going not just for the the people and friends, but the guilds them selves give you good deals on there products. I was able to get a whole bag full of items for under thirty bucks. I got a second book on macrame, several patterns, five magazines, two bags full of yarn and thread, plus one of those bags is all wool and I got a new tote bag. So we really had a good time and I'm looking forward to next year.
