Georgetown Red Poppy Festival 4/24/10

Yesterday I spent the morning in downtown Georgetown with Samantha, a couple of her friends and their children.  I got there a little bit before Sam and everyone else, so I walked around the craft booths for a while.  Lots of neat things there, I found some things for my hair to take on the cruise.  Here is the link.  I bought one small and one extra small, the gold tone.  I'll have to practice using them, but they are really neat!  There were also many people set up that made and sold their jewelry (and I was happy to see a lot of them have a shop in etsy.com).  One shop had BEAUTIFUL jewelry!  She has her own website you can see here.  I was wishing I had already decided what I'm wearing for the two formal nights on the cruise because I could have bought some jewelry to go with it.  (I also could have bought the hair accessories to match, but what I bought will go with anything.)  One specific piece of Stacey's jewelry I was looking at is not listed on her website, but it's similar to the three-strand necklace shown here.  The price was $250 though!!!!   I think Todd would have divorced me if I had bought it!  lol   But it was stunning!   Plus, she was having a sale that if you bought the necklace, you got the matching earrings free.   Anyway, a girl can dream, right?  lol

The main reason we went was to see the parade.  I grabbed my new Canon Rebel to take pictures (practice for the cruise).
Everyone waiting (this is the "Historic Downtown Square"):

I took LOTS more, but won't post them - it would take me all morning and I have to clean yet.

He tries SO HARD!


Well, better get going.  Everyone's coming over today for Tyler's 5th birthday, so I need to clean a little.  Luckily, it's going to be nice outside so we'll be able to be there most of the day.   I'm sure I'll have more pictures to post tonight or tomorrow.
