War Eagle Craft Fair

Here’s what I found this past weekend at the world famous War Eagle Craft Fair!  It was a perfect day…cool, clear and breezy with the leaves changing colors…life is good in the Ozarks!  There was lots to check out from the truly talented, the gifted and gorgeous, and the sad but still hanging out tacky country hand painted turkey feathers.  I kid you knot!

Uh huh….an old, beaten up folding chair painted with a pumpkin.  Good to know they are still in demand!

I hardly saw the jewelry, because I was so interested in how this artist came up with lamp shades!

Speaking of rust…this artist twisted lengths of barbed wire into wonderful trees, spheres and pumpkins.  And pigs, boots and cows!

The young ladies loved the hand knitted hats and silver rings…and the hamburgers!
