Fall CRAFT FAIR

Every November, Sunriver has a craft fair. For the last 4-5 years I've had a table I rented for $40 and tried to sell my books. Usually not breaking even. So this year I didn't participate but just went and took photos. Lots of cool ideas but my house is full with Indian decor.

A friend of mine from church makes these neat woven pine needle baskets

She's a real artist and does beautiful work.

Always lots of necklaces and earrings to choose form.

Pottery is always fun but my house is filled with pots...

Aprons and quilted table runners and cloths

Wood carvings and projects for home decorating

Knick backs always useful...

Fun ideas of cylinders decorated.

African themed decorations

Love the colors and designs...

Wood inlaid designs, nicely done

Decorative cactus abound in fun pots

A photographer friend makes these huge pictures to hang in your house

More plant decorations

Quite artistically painted petroglyphs on pottery.

Same idea but made into clocks

People are so creative

Fall Ride in the Sun before winter comes...

There's tons of scenic places to explore around St. Georg.

I still love the scenic stark beauty of the high mountain desert here.

If you don't mind dusty dirt roads, there's lots of solitude out here.

One of our favorite places-Kolob Canyon invites us to a 5 mile drive.

Not many autumn leaves up here, mostly blown away...

Love the shadows on the stark red cliffs of Kolob Fingers

We used to see these dramatic cliffs everyday in New Harmony.

Amazing what wind, rain and time can form out of red sandstone.

New Harmony is a quiet rural town where we used to live.

Sixth Annual YOUTH POETRY CONTEST

The photos say it all, as these talented students shared their winning poems at the YOUTH POETRY CONTEST 2015 sponsored by the Dixie Chapter of the Utah State Poetry Society, and held during the St. George Book Festival. It was a busy busy week with lots of great workshops, meetings and more. (Click to enlarge the photo collages.)
