Garden Club Picnic at DJ's

Last night the Mercer Garden Club had their summer picnic in DJ's Garden. We had a heavy rain storm that quit just before the picnic. The air was fresh smelling and the flowers were beautiful. The temp cooled down and the sun came thru briefly. It was an enchanted evening in a beautiful garden with friends and way toooo much excellent food. I am glad I was there to be in the moment. I love being out in a garden after a rain. This was a perfect evening and everyone seemed to enjoy being there.

Mercer Spinners and Weavers Guild August 8 2009

Yesterday our Buy, Sell, Swap or Trade Meeting turned out to be a huge success. We only had 5 members of our guild show up but we had lots and lots of folks come from other Knitting and Weaving groups. We had a full house. It was so exciting to see so many people. There was a group of knitters that work together in Grove City. There were a couple car loads of knitters from the Cranberry Knitters Group. A Weavers Group from Erie, Edinboro and Greenville stopped by to visit. There were knitters from Mercer, Sharon and Hermitage that used to shop at Otter Creek. There was a couple folks that Judy met at a recent show where she was spinning. I wish I had counted or taken some pictures but I was too busy talking to think about it. We probably had 40 to 50 people come.

There was wonderful food for the pot luck picnic lunch. I really enjoyed meeting new fiber arts folks and making new friends. Several folks join our club. Everyone had a great time sharing good food and there was lots of laughter. I hope we see some of these folks again. If you were there and happen to read this. Thank you for coming. Please come again. Email me and I will send you our next guild newsletter.
