One of the booths at the fair had this "spinning" (or so I thought!) wheel sitting if front of it...
Someone from the booth took his time to demonstrate this old way of weaving.
He told us that the Celtics used to weave their bands like this. You basically manipulate the thread with those card boards. It was a lost art but an archeologist found one of these card weaving machines and reconstructed it. So there has been a new revival of this wonderful art. He also said that it took him 3 years of practising before he was able to do the band that is laying right next to him.
Pasha decided that this would be her souvenir from the fair.
Pasha always had this fascination with grave yards. So we can’t get near a church without Pasha asking if there is one close by.
Most of the time we take the few minutes to walk through it. We always wonder what kind of lives people led… were they happy? Were they loved? Pasha loves to speculate about that!
Of course, if I get to go to an Arts and Crafts fair, she needs to have her grave yard visit :-)
I don’t mind (at least most of the time!) because there is just a quiet peacefulness that sneaks in to my heart during our walks… weird!!!
Anyway, this time we found a really great tombstone. I wonder if it is real or man-made? What do you think?
And because it would be just weird to sign off with a tombstone as the last picture, here is a picture I took of Pasha during the fair.
Hach, I am in love with her baby blue eyes...
Take care,
Me
That is a way better picture then the graveyard. :), It looks like you had a very nice time. Wish we could have been there with you.
