Hello Everyone. How are you this beyond gorgeous day? I’m hoping everyone is doing what they love to do and have found their passion.

Yesterday we went to Cobourg for the festival and it was really exciting. Well as exciting as things like that get. We went with our dear friends Janet and Joe and it was tons of fun.

It was a day full of strange events but then I guess I was in it so what else is new.

It started out by the Rotary Club charging like $7 each for the craft show. We were a little taken aback and confused as we weren’t sure if it was the entrance into the festival or the craft show. I asked and got the answer that yes it was for the full event. Hmm. Then we found out it was just for the craft show. Now if its going to charity that’s one thing but I couldn’t seem to get the information out of them. Hmmm. The guys basically walked around the outside and surely wouldn’t have spent $14 if they knew it was just to tag along with us. Shame shame on you Rotary Club. I felt sorry for the vendors that rented a table because people weren’t going in really.

As we were walking around this huge and I’m not pulling your leg (ok a little) hornet or some sort of long bodied creature went right onto my arm where you give blood and stung me. I was so surprised it happened. It started to swell up as I’m not too good with those things and swell and swell and sting. Almost like my whole arms was getting stiff. Thank goodness there was this wonderful wonderful lady there who helped me. The name of her booth was “Trish’s Salts & Scrubs” I’m assuming her name was Trish? Well as soon as she hears what happened she runs to my rescue. She puts some eucalyptus on it and then some tea tree oil. Ahhhh. The pain starts to go away. Within about 10 minutes it was completely gone. Gone Gone Gone. Isn’t that amazing.

The link to Trish’s wonderful products and knowledge is here “Trish’s Salts & Scrubs“. 

So that was the beginning of our day. Trish probably saved us a trip to the hospital. Thank you so much Trish. Thank you for being you.

Another cool thing that happened (not that the hornet was cool but being saved by essential oils was really cool) was that there was this wonderful booth that had cookies and you guessed it cupcakes. Yum Yum. They were so pretty. Janet bought me a cupcake. OMG it was so delicious. It even was the last one and had “pink” icing my favourite. God is good.  The booth was adorable and the lady that made them had on this wonderful top matching the booth all red and white stripes. You know I love branding. The website for this yummy place is “Sugar Dust Bakery“. She had all these wonderful cookies too.

Not that that wasn’t all enough excitement for me there was a booth at the festival with wooden clogs. Do you remember those clogs? I think they used to be called Dr. Scholl or something or other. (See Darlene’s comments she thinks they were called Clarks.) These were the funkiest colours and I can’t wait to save and get a pair. I was just talking the other day to someone about how much I missed my wooden clogs. They said the same thing. I said I wish they still had them. Low and behold Jill shows up at the Cobourg Festival selling her wooden clogs.  Her site is here but it doesn’t seem to be set up yet. Keep trying.  (If you are interested and can’t get on the site I have her card just email me. ) Apparently she is importing them from Sweden. OO la la. I used to live in them. I had a blue leather pair and a brown suede pair. Other than losing the ‘tards here’s what they look like. I found this picture on the net for you.

I found these clogs on line too. They are very delicious. They are called Cape Clogs. They are in the US though. I’m seeing if they deliver. I would like a Daisy pair! Or a Poppie Pair. Oh ya.

So that was my adventures yesterday. Then we went to Joe and Janets and they made us the best dinner. He even made from scratch tszaki sauce. Yum Yum.
