It’s going to be two weeks long and I’m doing it with two friends of mine.  It’s going on during the F.E.I. Games  ( it’s like the Olympics but for horses). We’ll be in Midway for the show which will have attendees from all over the world.

Yes, we met Sue Grafton who was signing the latest copy of her new book, “U for Undertow” which just happened to be on both of our lists for Santa.</font></p> <p><font color="#000040" size="3" face="Papyrus">We’ve read her entire series which started with “A”.  I highly recommend her books. The main character is Kinsey Millhone a private investigator whose adventures are highly addictive.  You don’t have to start at the beginning if you don’t want to because every book stands on it’s own. But it sure is fun if you do start with “A”.</font></p> <p><font color="#000040" size="3" face="Papyrus">The best thing was that she is such a gracious lady. She had something to say to everyone she signed for and when I asked if we could have our picture taken with her she said yes.

I’ll be busy making new things now. </font></p> <p><font color="#000040" face="Papyrus">The weather was in the 70’s and I got to set up outside for both days.  I love fall weather but this was more like spring. Anyway, Saturday was the big “Light up Shelbyville” event. They close off Main Street and have entertainment, food venders and craft venders all leading up to the Christmas tree lighting. It’s all so festive and lovely. So, after a full day at Trims and Whims I packed up my wares and did a trunk show at The Keepsake Shop in town.  Then took everything  back to Trims and Whims on Sunday for another great sale day. By Sunday night you’d better believe I was totally wiped out but smiling. Here’s part of my booth. </font></p> <p><img style="border-right-width: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; margin-left: auto; border-left-width: 0px; margin-right: auto" title="100_0170" border="0" alt="100_0170" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_hjbFymlCIls/SvmXh3lcrFI/AAAAAAAAFLo/ast7Z7zC5vM/100_0170_thumb%5B1%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="508" height="386" /><font color="#000040" face="Papyrus">There is also some photography that my son did that I was selling for him.
