I went to Fairhope Alabama with my Tie Dyes this weekend, and set up at the Windmill Market in Down Town Historic Fairhope. See http://www.windmillmarket.org/
I had a lovely time, the market is a 'green' building, attractively landscaped with edible garden planters which makes it extra cool to me. They have employed many other eco friendly practices in their building and are serving as an example to the broader community. While set up inside under the spacious covered porch I enjoyed talking to the other vendors, and listening to the live guitar music from the outdoor patio. Moe's Barbeque is a permanent fixture at the market, I had a pulled pork sandwich for lunch with a most delicious pickled slaw, and the best banana cream pudding I have ever tasted. I Can't wait till my next visit to Fairhope. I will be showing there every last Saturday all summer long. Next time I am bringing Dave with. We plan to spend a romantic weekend in Fairhope, which is a Very Romantic little town on the Eastern Shore of Mobile Bay. Flowers in attractive Beds Line the streets, the large oak and magnolias are sprinkled everwhere throughout the area, and many well manicured attractive parks welcome the visitor the relax. The downtown area is FILLED with attractive little shops and Galleries! Not to mention the ambience of the restaurants and cafes that can be found as well. We plan to come a day early so we can enjoy strolling the merchant section. If you need some visual candy to go with this post check out: http://www.beautifulfairhope.com/

Make Love Not War!
Peace. It comes From Within, as the saying goes....Begin Within.
Lately, I have had to work hard to find my inner peace, You see two sides of me are at war with each other. I work full time as a pediatric home health nurse, taking care of special needs kids. I love the kids I care for. each one in their own special way have worked into my heart. I always look at them for their potential and what they have going on in the inside not the outside. Lately my services have been in high demand, Not enough of me to go around to the families that want me. That is well and good, but I wish Sometimes I could be there for Everyone! Then There is the Other side of me, The Artist. The passionate creator of funky and colorful art. My SOUL Sings when doing art, or playing my music. I thrive on creativity. I love to sit for hours and quilt, spin, do polymer clay, batik, dye, bead up jewelry. And I have been wanting to learn to weave next. SIGH. So my two sides are at war. Each one Demanding more of me. And then there is family life.....Peshi, D, and Dave. All wanting more of my attention. What Am I to do?
I want so badly to be able to do it all. If only I diddn't need to sleep.
So I will continue on, trying to make peace with the two sides of myself. And find time for the other facets, spirituality, Family, Education, Activism, Charity, Friendships.
