A peek of what I love to collect.......

I thought I would share with you a little of what I love to collect.....I love pumpkin art...in all forms and this pottery is made by a very special and very gifted friend of mine, Chaucy Shader. Chaucy and I started our businesses at about the same time years ago. She has a huge following here in Colorado and sold out at the festival also. Luckily I grabbed my three new additions before the show started! Chaucy's pumpkin pottery is, in my opinion, unequaled, and in a class all its own...in fact, all of her work is.  Anyway, just wanted to share a peek of some of the art in my house....all one of a kind and all originals. If you want to see more of her magical pottery you can at http://www.chaucy.com/. I hope you are enjoying these beautiful autumn days and decorating for the season too!

The Festival!

The Blacksmith Shop

The original Rock Ledge Ranch House

Some of the outdoor vendor tents

Enchanted Doodler booth almost finished at set-up Fri. Morning

My booth was located in this large "circus" tent

Here are a few pictures I took at the festival...the outside pictures were shot a couple hours before the festival opened as I knew I would not be able to leave my booth later. I hope they give you an idea of how beautiful the setting is for this show. The Rock Ledge Ranch sits right in the "shadow" of the Garden of the Gods, so named because of the spectacular rock formations located in the region. The ranch is a living museum and there are draft horses, cows, sheep, chickens and peacocks living on site. There is a blacksmith shop and visitors can tour the beautiful, restored original ranch house. The money raised from the festival every year helps to fund the upkeep of the ranch......My booth appears a little "shaggedy" but keep in mind that we set up inside a giant tent in the middle of a horse pasture and there is no such thing as a level surface! The festival was a huge success, once again, this year and I sold out by noon on the first day! It is so awesome every year to see all my wonderful, loyal customers who come to see me and I appreciate each and every one of them!

Deck the Halls!

Although I am currently focused on all things Fall and Halloween, I am offering some Christmas/Holiday items at the upcoming Rock Ledge Folk Art Festival for those customers unable to make it to my Christmas shows. Here is a little peek of a snowman scene that will be offered at the show. I am planning to take lots of pictures at the festival to share with you here on my blog.

Work is fast and furious at the enchanted workbench and the work days get longer and longer the closer it gets to show time! But this is the best time of year in my opinion....I love autumn....I love the leaves, crisp apples, pumpkins, hot apple cider, the smell of wood smoke from my cookstove chimney....just everything! Be sure and take a moment to savor all things fall...it is just an enchanting time of the year!

Enchanted Blessings,
Amy
