My last show of the season, the Plowshares Craftsfair and Peace Festival, went off without a hitch this past weekend. I knocked myself out to get enough product made through the week and was a bit knackered by the time Friday came around. Kim came from Kingston, Ontario, and helped me wrap soap. Matt loaded the van. It poured rain through the night and into the morning. Kim slept in while I did chores and threw some last minute stuff in the van. We set off in the rain to the Nottingham High School in Syracuse and managed to get the booth set up in the space of an hour. This festival is delightful, with on-going entertainment, activist booths and top-notch crafters. We heard Onondaga poetry readers, Celtic singers, African drummers, and watched belly dancers pull people from the audience to dance with them. Stephanie and Dale put us up at their comfy home in Pompey. Sunday morning we hit Trader Joe's and Barnes & Noble. Sunday flew by and we loaded up under the light of a full moon. I love this show and I also love the fact that it's my last show of the winter. I'm a little frayed around the edges and need to "fall back and regroup." Lambs are coming in March and I need to be in good shape for that marathon.
