More Blue Ribbon Projects from the Fair.

I am joining my friend Marty for Tabletop Tuesday.  I thought it would be fun to continue with some more fair pics.  Isn't this vase just absolutely gorgeous!  I probably should have added it to my Blue Monday post as well.



And I love this bench!  I don't think you would need to add a thing to it.  Can you imagine the time spent painting it.  I would love to have this on my front porch at Christmas time.

And more gorgeous pottery!  I think these would look good just about anywhere!

Wouldn't this blue ribbon basket be a neat addition to your home? 


And if your taste is more to the porcelain, check these beauties out!  See that teapot?  I think my name is on it.  He-he, I only wish.

How many hours were spent painting these beauties?

A lovely table and check out that metal deer!  How unique is that!

I asked my hubby and he said this table would actually be pretty simple to make.  Hmmm.  My wheels are turning.  He has some Birdseye maple that he has set aside for a project.


And

I was in awe of this wooden train.  What guy young or old wouldn't love to have this under his Christmas tree.

And just for fun!   Don't you just love this cute little bear!  He's all ready for our cold winters.

And I just had to show you these cute little doll dresses!  Now look at that.  Going to Gram-ma's wardrobe circa 1940's.

And will you look at these darling doll outfits!  I am in awe of the seamstress that made these.  Not only did she do a fabulous job sewing but she has a great eye for colors and style.

I hope you enjoyed seeing what these talented people have created!  I sure did.
And please visit our hostess Marty for more great links.
Thanks Marty!
Cindy

    I also LOVED looking at all the beautiful quilts in your last post. Gorgeous and beautiful are not enough to describe the amount of work and talent which went into making them. They are fabulous!!!

  32. Hi sweet friend...

    Ohhh my goodness, I'm so sorry that I've been so long in getting by to see you, Girlfriend! It's been a busy last few days here. We sold some of our property (one block over from where we live) and so you know how that goes! Girl, it looks like you and Dan had the bestest time at the Minnesota State Fair! Ohhhh...after seeing all of those awesome items, I would have loved going! Sooo many pretties! There sure is alot of talented people out there! Loved getting to see all the glassware...and ohhh, can you imagine painting the flowers/roses that were on some of those plates? I want to paint like that when I grow up! Hehe! I loved getting a peek at some of the sewing too! I remember sewing lots and lots of doll clothes for my girls...I loved doing it!

    Girlfriend, I also visited your last post as well! Ohhhh my goodness, those were the prettiest quilts that I've ever seen! I loved every single one that you took a photo of! It would have been hard to choose a favorite! I was so surprised at the talent of whoever did all the displays! They did a fabulous job! Now, I would have loved doing that! hehe! Well sweet friend, thank you sooo much for sharing the State Fair with us...I loved getting a peek at all the beautiful items that people entered!

    How are you doing, Darlin'? I hope that my note finds you and Dan both well! Is Dan getting back into the "school groove"? I remember how that was...it was hard being off for nearly 3 months and then having to go back to work! Well, I'm hoping that the next couple of days will slow down a bit. We moved the piano out and my new armoire in. I'm wanting to move things around a bit and decorate! wink! Take care, Sweetie...I'll talk with you later!

    Love ya,
    Chari
