Beacon, New York

Next stop Beacon, NY.  Kit was in a sale event with a number of other excellent crafters.  It was one very long day and I signed on to keep an eye on Fiona while Mom went to work.  The show/sale was great.  I loved the tables and boards made by the woodworker whose workshop was the site for the show.  She really respects the material she is working with.  Quite a bit of it was made of black walnut.   Finally I couldn't resist what she calls a baguette board, a cutting board long enough to fit a proper baguette.  I told her about the black walnut trees I had had on the farm and she understood immediately.  "You miss your trees," she said.  Right on.

It was good to see Kit and Nate and Fiona and hang out with them.  We fitted in some stocking stuffer shopping and some good food at a special restaurant that is situated next to a waterfall.  A partially frozen waterfall after a snowfall is a lovely and constantly changing sight.
