I then finally convinced the hubster to go with me to the annual Christmas Show in our area which a co-worker gave us free tickets to on Sunday. I love getting out and supporting the town as well as small business and it is a perfect haven for craft bloggers let me tell ya! TONS of sweets, goodies, crafts and even WINE! We ran into the Grinch and I scored the most festive garden flag- definitely my favorite purchase!
