Stinko Holiday Baby!

We have had SUCH an eventful week! There are of course the boring grown-up things like finishing and sending off my Swedish commission, as well as the craft sale last weekend, but then there are the more important things like 5 perfecting his stinko-face, walking, talking, and general miracle-of-nature type things.
This picture above is an example of all the hard work 5 has been putting into getting that wicked stinko baby face just right.

The rest of his increasing awake time is spent:
a) walking
b) saying his 4 words- dad, hat, hot, dog
c) putting on and taking of his hat
d) gnawing on things (like the rock in the picture on the right)
e) doing the above things in endless combinations

I thought I'd share a little snapshot of my booth at the Poor Artist's Sale in Calumet from last weekend. Not that it is so amazing or anything (I've seen the pictures from the quilt market, I know what can be done...), but it was awfully fun and I finally had my product kind of organized.
The table on the left held all of my baby products. All that stuff in the middle is accessories, and on the right are my home decor items. The pillows looked so lovely I had to show a close up-

So pretty! Yes, the pics are terribly overexposed and I am sincerely apologetic for inflicting them upon you, but, well, have you ever been in a high school gym? Have you ever taken a decent picture in one? Yeah, I didn't think so....
The show itself was wonderful. Such a great event put on by the Copper Country Art Center- it's one day, 6 hours, no distractions. Everyone is there to shop, there's no milling about to various jam bands or fried-something-on-a-stick eating, just bring your holiday shopping list and do it up. Also, nearly everyone I know is there so I can take care of all my socializing for the year at one time!
Now I can focus on holiday cooking! Yay! I'll be sharing some of my favorite seasonal recipes over the next few weeks.

What are your favorite holiday recipes?

The pillows are gorgeous. I can smell the residual sweat in the HS gym. The stinko face is precious. Last year I made cayenne fudge that was pretty spectacular. I also make 3 layer pumpkin bars, recipe from Willy Street Co-op multiple decades ago. And creamy broccoli salad, recipe in The Enchanted Broccoli Forest. Cheers!

The booth looked great!! Glad it was successful and fun.
Stinko Face is staring to sound suspiciously like Tuffy...........he is precious. (ok, they both are)

Oh Stinko! Love the face, love the display, acknowledge high school gym flourescents have that special glow, and appreciate the updates. My favorite holiday recipe is bacon-wrapped water chestnuts in soy sauce and brown sugar, broiled until cooked and crispy...amazingly deliscious way to enlarge your hips exponentially.
