I'm back, I'm happy to say, from a fun, wild and crazy needlework market in Baltimore.  These markets are held at Embassy Suites and the exhibitors set up their booths in the front room of the suites and sleep in the back, bedroom.  It's a great set up!  This is the first year it was held in Baltimore and it was a fun show!  I shared a suite with my sister Marty, her husband Tim and their two daughters, Anna and Grace.  Marty exhibited her new (my old) needlework designs and I exhibited my jewelry. 

This is Marty's newest Hawk Run Hollow design...Farms.  It was a best seller!

 Another one of Marty's new designs...The Tree Speaks


Marty also brought chickens!!  She and Tim reproduced these from an antique chicken spool holder she gave me as a wedding gift 16 years ago.

Check out the amazing display board Marty and Tim brought.  It was a huge success!  Shop owners saw patterns they hadn't seen in years!

Now for the fun part....my nieces, Anna and Gracie, discovered my mannequin and realized what fun they could have with it......
