Farm Day at the Farmers Market!

Farm Day at the Fairhaven Farmers Market on Aug. 21 was a great success! A beautiful day and lots of cool farm animals and equipment drew a fantastic crowd. I had a great time at my book table and I also had a chance to take some pictures. Click on the images to view larger. Enjoy!

Me, Crafts and Snacks at Partners Children's Reading Circle August 18!!

I'll be the guest reader on Thursday, August 18, 2011 at Ms. Joan's Children's Reading Circle at Partners Village Store and Kitchen in Westport, MA! It takes place from 10:30-11:30 a.m. and is open to pre-school aged kids.

If you've never been to Partners, it is a beautiful gift shop with books, toys, jewelry, art and more, including a CAFÉ!! If you can't make it to the Reading Circle, pop down to Partners to shop/nosh any time. They have copies of my books for sale, too!!

Looking forward to a wonderful time and to meeting some new young readers at Partners!

Coming soon... I'll be at the Fairhaven Farmers Market ONE LAST TIME this summer on August 21. I'll be signing books and selling beautiful prints of my work ready to frame!

A Day at the Farmers Market

I had a great time at the Fairhaven Farmers Market this weekend where I had a book sale/signing and Story Time! Here are some pictures of the event...
By the way, if you missed it, the market is held every Sunday through October, and I'll be back one more time this season on August 21!

Welcome to Story Time!

Ann Richard, Farmers Market manager and member of the Fairhaven Sustainability Committee, set up this great Story Time area for me!

A nice shady spot to read a book on a hot summer day!

It's Story Time!

After the reading, we did some coloring...

...and some snuggling (with stuffed corgis, the real ones stayed home today!)...

Hey, that's not a stuffed animal!

No, it's Reggie, a 9 week old mini-dachshund! I love puppy visits!

All in all, a great day at the Farmers Market! Hope to see you next time!
