COUNTY FAIR

Show and Tell
Visit Kelli for more Show & Tell Posts.


First of all - here's a group picture of some of my dolls.


I entered these four in the San Joaquin County Fair in 1988.
I took first and second place in two size categories. This is the first and only time I ever entered anything in a fair. I was kinda proud. No, actually I was very proud. Oh, and I got a check for $50.00.
Hugs,
Charlotte

That's so wonderful. I bet you were really proud. They are lovely dolls.

Those are gorgeous! I love entering stuff in the fair. I haven't done it a long time because we are always on vacation when the deadline is up for entering your things. Oh well... The $50 isn't bad either!

I am in wedding countdown now, 14 more days is all! So why am I on the computer? YIKES!

Last week I shared about my Grandma's trunk, the "before restoration" photos. I got it back and I have posted its transformation on today's S&T.

Gday Charlotte. beautiful display I would have given them all first place awards..

WOW!~~~~ This is beautiful. I think the pink goes so well with dolls if that makes any since. I was just going to use that blog for my blogs I like to visit. Mostly because I know they will always be there, but the more I think about it I could always keep these links on my test blog as well. I think its nice to see where other people like to visit. Well this is something I will have to think about. You I feel closer to some of these women after 2 years of blogging with them than I do with some of my friends. I'm not sure it that is good or bad but I do feel blessed that I have met them all. When I shared with you that I liked to blog I had no idea that you would enjoy it. It does give us something to look forward to on a day to day.
Take care,
Ginger
