Scenes from a far...oops, I mean from a Fair



Survived my first day of the Fair and actually had a fun and interesting day (click on pic to see details)...here we go..



Alex with his "I'm gonna make you stand still if it kills both of us" look...he placed 4th



Raquel beaming with confidence...she placed 6th








Textile Art...a
couple of my favorites

















Some amazing wood creations










And for all you Mermaid lovers
















Lil' Lulu..this one's for you








All made from Felt...










You couldn't pay me enough to get on this Ferris wheel




A bunny and some Sunflowers



Look what we saw...I swear, it was purely coincidental...lol



and this just made us laugh...needless to say, we DID NOT eat here



...and that's all folks....I'm moo~ving on...I'm just sayin'

  3. Hey Bunny!

    What a great day at the fair!
    I love the White Rabbit quilt, and the mermaids just rock..always say that I have an Early Canadian Mermaild bathroom..been collecting (mostly little ones) for years...
    It's a good thing you didn't eat one of those Bypasses, and then go on the Ferris Wheel..you could have made seagulls look like amateurs!♥

  6. i love the fair too, ours isn't until mid Aug. which is crazy because it always gets rained on. So glad you had fun. I know what you mean re the ferris wheel; it goes backwards or something really wrong and sickening dosn't it. I'll do the tilt-a-whirl tho.
    Nice mermaids and love the sunflowers and Bunny!

    Congratulations to Raquel and Alex! Nice pictures. Looks like you all had fun. I have not been to the fair in many years. I love the Bunny and sunflower picture. You couldn't pay me enough to get on ANY of those rides. LOL I'll take that rocking chair, please. Thanks, for sharing your day at the fair. Hugs

  11. Oh, it's nice to see all their hard work paying off! I know it's a huge commitment for them and you must be so proud!
    I love all the extras from the fair - the needlework and fiber work is amazing!

  12. Oh how fun! Congrats to Raquel!
    I think that deep fried butter was at the Texas Fair at the cotton bowl too. It must make the rounds. Did not go but heard about it on the news. I do not know who would eat that stuff. Although we did try a deep fried oreo in Vegas one year. YUK!

  15. Wow Bunny these are great pictures and love the one of you as a mermaid. haha I love mermaids!
    What a great place to have a fair. Looks like a lot of fun. That Heart Attach cafe is too funny.
    Just had to check on you and thank you for always keeping me going these last few months.
    So glad we met

  16. I have been amused by your photographs here. The chocolate covered bacon and butter (eek)made me cringe a little, I thought these kind of things only happened in Scotland (deep fried mars bars), but obviously not.

    The felted characters were marvellous too.
    Thank you so much for sharing.
