The weekend

Hope you all had a nice weekend! I have to share a bit about my weekend.
On Saturday there was a craft show near us.  This is not your normal craft show - it's huge and people come from all over to go to it.  It's set up in a very large Greenhouse and there were over 250 vendors there, along with lots of food trucks.
I went with my sister and because it's always very busy we got there right away in the morning. When we arrived, the parking lot was already full!


Cars were lined up on the road waiting to turn in.




Look at this line we had to wait in, just to get inside!





The line grew quickly behind us too.






But finally, we made it inside.  There were lots of cute booths - candles, clothing, vintage items, fresh Christmas arrangements and so many other cute items.


We wandered around for about 1 1/2 hours before making our way out.





This is what the road looked like when we left, people still lined up to get in.  It was starting to snow and the roads were getting icy, we passed an accident on our short drive home.






I didn't buy a lot, just a candle and a few little trees to decorate with.  It was fun to look at everything!



I mentioned that it was snowing earlier in the day.  After supper, it really started to come down.



This is what we woke up to on Sunday morning - 11 1/2 inches of snow! Our church was cancelled, along with every other church in the area. The plows were trying to clear things but didn't make it to our area until mid afternoon.





The snow was piled up on everything; these are rain bells that collect rain and then hit each other and chime.  I love the snow piled high on them.











I'm not a fan of cold and snow, but have to admit that it is beautiful.  Unfortunately, we are supposed to be getting more on Monday, so I better get used to it!

Dear Mari, what a long line of people for the craft fair!!! I like the items you bought. Your snow ❄️ photos are absolutely stunning.

Oh my gosh, Mari!! That snow! And those are long lines waiting to get into the craft show. Always fun, though. When you get tired of that white stuff, Avelo comes right to Lakeland from Grand Rapids!! Hint, hint!! :)

How beautiful those snow scenes are but I'm content to see them from a distance. The craft fair looked like fun and I love your little tree for decorating. Keep warm and snug.

Wow that is one amazing craft show!!
We had a little snow here today just enough to make it greasy driving. Many accidents we are in for more snow Tues but not as much as you got!

Such long lines, but it sounds worth it.
Your snow photos are beautiful!
Waking up to 11½ inches is no joke.
Stay warm and enjoy the cosy winter vibes.
