I helped organize it - there were 14 vendors including yours truly, displaying a wide range of hand made goods - gluten free baked goods, ceramics a variety of jewelry, and of course beautiful silk scarves. Santa stopped by and I was interviewed for the Troy Record. We will be doing it again next Saturday December 3rd from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Come by and support your local crafter!dinahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03056182762523461320noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4993532834465013080.post-14057916141003644832011-10-21T09:04:00.000-07:002011-10-21T09:04:26.021-07:00All in a Day's Work<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: left; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;"><tbody>

It was a time for looking towards the future and the past. It seems I was a catalyst to inspire the the gathering of the younger generation and it was great to reconnect with family! (However these pictures convinced me to go back on WeightWatchers ;-)<br />
On Saturday we had a family gathering with lots of children and grandchildren at Susan's house:<br />

On Sunday we visited with Laurel and went through our maternal grandmother Dornback's photo album (ca 1900 - 1950). It was poignant to look back on the hard times our family went through and joyful to see the energy of the newest generation.dinahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03056182762523461320noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4993532834465013080.post-54233561438812103302011-08-10T08:18:00.001-07:002011-08-10T08:50:35.058-07:00Choose Cohoes Open Studios<div style="font-size: 0.8em; line-height: 1.6em; margin: 0 0 10px 0; padding: 0;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/9052539@N05/6023454358/" title="IMG_4369"><img alt="IMG_4369 by dinab627" src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6128/6023454358_26cee2f8e8.jpg" /></a><br />
