The girls and I spent the entire day in Lansing at the American Heritage Festival. We went as vendors, but it was very, very cold today and the turn out was very poor. We enjoyed ourselves though and I did a lot of spinning demonstrations. People were taking my cards and asking if they could purchase things on-line, which I wasn't sure why until I starting thinking about it. This festival has been going on for years, but only the last two have there been vendors who are selling things, so I think people were coming un-prepared to buy anything. We still got our feet wet and it was a great experience. Both my daughters went with me and they had a blast. Bek took part in a whole bunch of the hands-on things and learned how to weave today and loved it. Her is a picture of her on the horse drawn wagon ride.

I am doing a "Christmas in July Heatwave Giveaway" I think most of the nation is in the middle of a heatwave right now, although in Michigan we did have a cold front move through. We are in the mid-eighties instead of the nineties!!! I have been wanting to get some more traffic to my blog and yarn/angora shop for some time now. I have been doing some research and decided the best way to start is with a giveaway. Everyone loves to get free stuff, even if it is an Angora stocking cap that is seven times warmer than wool! So from now until next Friday, July 16, leave a comment for me on this post and we will pick the winner next Friday! You will get this 100% hand-spun, hand-dyed knitted stocking cap:

I am in the process of getting more serious about our farm and so I wanted a consistant name on all of our "stuff" I had originally used the name Fowl Tail Farm and that was my original blog site. I have now started one using the name of our farm and will be doing most of my blogging here now.
