Last of the Halloween Treats

This is my Aunt Dixie. Talent runs in family and she is proof of

that. She's a knitter and quilter and loves all kinds of decorating

crafty stuff.

She made this wreath out of different 1/4 yard Halloween themed

materials that she cut with pinking shears. Cut 9 x 9 squares from

the quarters. Then you put a Tootsie Roll Pop in the center and tie

with yarn or raffia...whatever you prefer. Using a wreath

(grapevine, straw, wire)...Dixie used grapevine.

You just stick them in the wreath, arrange the colors the way you

like and there you have it! Add a pretty bow. A perfect party

decoration for the little kiddies! Its edible if you want to tell them.

Or you can just hang it on your door and stash it away for the next

Halloween. I thought it was great and so very colorful...just the

way I like things. I should say Dix didn't come up with the idea on

her own, she said she found it in a magazine...one of the Women

ones that I never read. I did take a sucker out of it. You just

rearrange the suckers so people won't see the holes...

Shusssh don't tell Dixie!

This is the weekend of the Blueberry Festival. And this is what happens when you let strangers take a group picture of you! Although I'm sure that's the way we carry on pretty much most of the time. From left to right: Aunt Marie, Aunt Dixie and my niece Kayla, trying to hide behind her is yours truly. Not too many crafts, but oodles of jewelry for sale. I'd say trinkets and treasures aren't going out of style anytime soon.
