the season has begun speeding
There was a nice craft fair two weeks ago and another one this weekend, capping the jollity of the last four days. About thirty years ago, we went to the first of this one at the local community college, and it was wonderful. In fact I still have the duck push-toy that we bought there, slightly abstract body with heavy floppy leather webbed feet that go slap! slap! when you roll it along, and a cute painted face. Over the years, it's been pushed and giggled at and talked to by my and my best friend's four children as well as by all but the newest of their six children. How cool is that? It's good to have lived long enough to observe the threads and some strange qualities of life in the creating and existence of handmade artistry. And on a crasser level, I must say it's good to have bought some nice presents for some of the people on my list.
