and only a couple of days where it was really hot. Go figure, but that's mother nature. The city is filled with tourists, and people are starting to shop a bit, maybe thanks to my summer sales and some great new pieces, the fall jewelry is selling like hotcakes. 
My email subscribers received a special offer for the 'bib necklace' and it looks like I will have lots of shipping to do when I get home, we've sold plenty already.
Like most new yorkers, we consider the long weekend a special opportunity to get out of town. We have journeyed up to Canfield, Ohio. I'm visiting friends and making a pilgrimage to the Canfield Fair.
There are so many things to do, it's perfect weather
and the trip up here was a great drive. Car trips and state fairs are a great way to spend the labor day weekend, and we are all having a great time. Here I am with a giant white turkey! There are lots of other farm animals here on display, some are even for sale. I really wanted to buy the cow, you never know if it's going to end up as somebodys dinner, but I don't think we can take it home to manhattan, and my brother would rather have a goat. 
They have all the entries from the apple contest, each one shined and polished. Of course, if you didn't want a nice fresh apple, there was no shortage of fried foods, can you imagine deep-fried Oreos or Twinkies!
At the end of the fair the farmers come back to claim their produce, we are guessing it will end up at a roadside stand or farmers market.
The thousands of ears of corn on display will be used to feed the farm animals, nothing goes to waste in this fair!The Canfield Fair is really a great piece of americana, seeing all these people enjoying themselves, surrounded by food they have grown, animals they have raised, etc. It's sort of like my life, surrounded by jewelry I've made (or something like that)! Ciao.
