Strange Folk Festival

I had the most fantastic time at Strange Folk Festival!!! It is wonderful to meet new people, and show off what matters to me.

One of the most exciting things that happened while preparing for the weekend was a newspaper article in the local paper. Jamie a news reporter for the O'Fallon Progress called and asked if they could do a piece on me. YES, YES YOU CAN!!! I almost did back flips I was so excited!!

Then, the big weekend was here. Saturday was absolutely beautiful. Sunday was absolutely dreadful weatherwise. However, both days rocked for sales. I had soooo much fun!

Thanks to everyone who came out to support me!

Peaches!!!

Eckert's Farm in Belleville, IL is seriously an awesome place! 

I have such fond memories there as a child. We use to pick pumpkins, apples & loads of other yummy when I was little. My sister & I always looked forward to the tractor ride and bring picked up to get the highest fruit on the tree. :)

As well, my Hubs and I spent our first anniversary of dating at Eckert's. We went to the farm, picked peaches and then came home and made a lovely dessert. Peach Cake. It was sooo delicious. I have photos from the experience somewhere, but couldn't locate them in time for this post. BUMMER.

Well, today Hubs and I went on a repeat date of our first anniversary together dating ...

WHAT FUN! We even added blackberries to the mix this time around. Seriously the biggest juicy blackberries I have ever found in my life were picked there today. It made me think of time together in Washington State with David's sweet Grandfather on his land. He recently passed away, and we both really missed him as we walked through the bushes.

Last but not least we took our goodies home and Hubs made me the most delicious most wonderful healthy peach cobbler. 

YUM

YUM 

YUM

Can't wait to see the cobble & of course get the recipe??

COME BACK TOMORROW!!!
