Mini-me and I went to an event on Saturday. An outdoor art fair! It just so happened to be at a beautiful location in Minneapolis as well. Minnehaha Falls park.
The falls are running a little low since we are in a drought. I honestly was surprised at how much water was coming over but we did have an inch of rain last week.
The little bit of rain did nothing to help the pathetic state of the park grass. This is an extremely poor photo of the fair but it was the only angle that didn’t have a ton of people right in front of me.
Mini-me purchased a pair of cute earrings, I bought a quilled paper card and a hand thrown pottery planter. I also spoke to a gentleman who makes jewelry from flatware and other metals. I want to have a piece made from my Grandma’s sterling. I think it might be cool to make a piece from my parents sterling as well. 
Meanwhile here at home, I’m harvesting a little each day.
Making card and journal embellishments from scraps
and am playing in my journals.
I may have taken a little trip to the fabric store one day as well.
Today’s list includes mowing and laundry…so much fun. I do hope to get some creative time in as well.
The Falls are beautiful. Love your scrap embellishments. I am just learning junk journaling, myself. I have made several, but not happy yet how I do them. Happy T Day!
Love the falls! Yes, the grass is looking terribly brown. We must have all the rain here in the North East. It has been raining for the last month.
Love all the scrap collages you have been making.
Lovely harvest from your garden.
Happy Tea Day,
Kate
Wow. Lucky you to visit that art fair. It looked like there were thousands of people crowded around all those booths, though. I am not that brave, but I’m glad you and mini had fun. It is a beautiful area, but sad looking park, especially the grass.
You are getting about enough veggies every day that would fill me. I know they make you happy. They sure would me.
Always love seeing your embellishment scraps and I love that fabric you chose. I have to stay away from the fabric stores. I don’t need any, but get sucked in and end up buying way more than I will ever use in my lifetime.
Thanks for sharing your trip to the fair, the embellishments you made, your veggies, your journal pages, and your coffee with us for T this Tuesday, dear friend.
so nice to see an outdoor fair again, and I do love your photo of the waterfall. Wonderful stitched embellishments, and well, I’d be tempted at a fabric store too except that I don’t use enough of it when I do buy some of the fat quarters for mixed media.
Happy T day!
Glad you had fun at the art fair, it’s a beautiful area there. Hope you find some creative time! Happy T Day, Valerie
My daughter lives in St. Paul, having just moved there because of her husband’s work. She _loves_ it there! She sent me photos of that park, but they didn’t get to go to the fair. I’m tempted to move up there after my husband retires. It’s beautiful!
I’ve always liked your idea of making up the embellishments ahead of time, and they add so much depth and texture.
That waterfall looks amazing and I really like the fabrics too! Happy T Day.

Oh a little trip to the fabric store looks like a lot of fun. And those falls are gorgeous. What a great place for an art fair. I like your embellishments and start of a journal page. Summer looks like it is treating you well Halle. Hope your T day is too. hugs-Erika
That’s a beautiful waterfall Halle, I love the materials you’ve bought, the flowery one is really pretty.
Good to see you are able to pick some fresh veg from your garden, it’s always tasty
Have a Happy T Evening

Such a beautiful place to visit! I bet those veggies were delicious, they always taste better when they are homegrown 😀. Loving your crafting too! Happy T Day! Hugs, Jo x
I think we’ve been getting yours and everyone else’s in the world share of rain. The falls still look pretty impressive. Happy day at the fair, happy harvest, happy art, happy fabric, and Happy T Day
