Festival

The first weekend in November is the Peter Anderson Festival, and its another one that I love and wait all year for. Like Cruisin the Coast, each year it gets bigger and bigger. Martye and I took the babies and stayed for the whole day. I was sooooo tired by the time we went back to the car. But we had such a good time.

For lunch we took our food to Marshall Park and let the babies out of the strollers.


Dylan and AbbyEli

Checking out something beyond the fence.


Eli wants to see it too...


Abby doesn't want to be left out...



Here's some of the goodies that I got...and now I'm broke! lol

Marlin Miller is an artist who has been carving some of the trees that Hurricane Katrina damaged along Biloxi beach.
I got one of his carvings and talked with him some. He and his wife are very nice. Lauren and Marlin gave each other a hard time. She asked him about doing a little bitty owl carving and he showed her a twig snake that he "carved". He even signed the bottom of the Egert.
Ocean Springs Harbor by Linda Theobald. We already have one of her prints with the Barrier Islands. And Craig and I love just about any artwork that is about OS Harbor.


This is a photograph by Steve White. It's the buoy on Horn Island. Isn't it gorgeous?? I believe its the same buoy that we saw on the island after Katrina. I got a t-shirt from him as well, and we already own a print of the Golden Fisherman from him.


I got Lauren a tie-dyed bag and a pair of earrings that I can wear with my scrubs at work. Oh and I got hanging made of driftwood and a ceramic fish. Now I have to get all these framed and figure out where to hang them all!
