Country Fair At Home: My other hobby...
http://countryfair-joanne.blogspot.com/2008/07/my-other-hobby_17.html
Thursday, July 17, 2008. About 4 years ago, I signed up for a basket class at Hill Institute. In Northampton, MA. Our teacher, Karen Sullivan is such an inspiration. She is meticulous and is a wealth of information. Her class is the best. I look forward to each session with great anticipation. This wall basket hangs in my bathroom and holds seasonal flowers. I made a beautiful doll using a pattern by Sherry of Annie's Cupboards. Joanne - your baskets are just lovely! July 17, 2008 at 11:46 PM. I love you...

Country Fair At Home: Trompe L'oeil
http://countryfair-joanne.blogspot.com/2008/07/trompe-loeil_1368.html
Thursday, July 17, 2008. About 4 years ago, I purchased a glass top stove. The backsplash was crying out for something dramatic. Being the impatient person I am, I wanted something, and I wanted it NOW! I didn't have the time, patience, or knowledge to add tile. So, I opted to paint "tile". They look exactly like tiles hehe, I would never have known. It looks awesome, what a great idea :D Carm. September 15, 2008 at 2:20 PM. September 15, 2008 at 2:21 PM.

Country Fair At Home: Halloween 2008
http://countryfair-joanne.blogspot.com/2008/10/i-looked-around-yard-and-found-stuff-to.html
Monday, October 6, 2008. I looked around the yard and found 'stuff' to use in my cemetery. I made these tombstones last year from big pieces of foam. After Halloween last year, I scored an awesome 6' rubber skeleton from iParty! I reinforced her spine and sat her on my original Columbia bicycle that my parents bought me in July 1961. I made a new basket for my bike to hold seasonal flowers, gave her a festive scarf and planted her in front of the cemetery. October 28, 2008 at 2:12 PM.

Country Fair At Home: Vintage Christmas Ornaments
http://countryfair-joanne.blogspot.com/2008/11/vintage-christmas-ornaments.html
Tuesday, November 11, 2008. These paper mache houses date back to the 1950. I remember them as a child. Notice the PINK bottle brush tree. That's my favorite! The houses are still in very good condition, considering their age. A few of the bottle brush trees did not 'age' well. What cool stuff. Thanks for sharing! November 12, 2008 at 7:45 AM. Oh My goodness I love them. I love the decorations. I am so jealous that you have them. I wish I had something from my childhood past. HUGS to your daddy! If you l...

Country Fair At Home: Veterans Day 2008
http://countryfair-joanne.blogspot.com/2008/11/veterans-day-2008.html
Tuesday, November 11, 2008. My father's condition made it impossible for him to live alone, so earlier this year he went to live at a local veteran's home. The facility is lovely and the care he is given is excellent. I went to spend some time with him today, and as I drove up the road to the Soldier's Home, I couldn't help but notice the road was lined with American Flags. Today is Veteran's Day. We owe these men so much.so very much. November 11, 2008 at 10:22 PM. December 5, 2008 at 2:36 PM. Salt and ...
