It’s the big one! The Baltimore Craft Show, put on every February by the American Craft Council.
It’s a wonderful show and always an honor to be included.
I headed east with 3 suitcases full, a carry on and my good friend Elisabeth.
We set up the booth and arranged the clothes.

Scarves were hung and ready to go.

Day 1, we started off with a bang! Lots of people and friends. We were busy, busy, busy.
In a quiet moment I snapped a picture of sweet Blue.

Day 2, started normal, all was good.
And then, curiously, the aisles emptied.

Why?
Here’s a clue.
Can you see? Those are icicles on his beard! And snow in the hood of his coat!

Outside it had snowed 6 more inches!
It was another snowstorm for poor Baltimore!

Day 3, although there were still piles of snow [that’s Elisabeth’s head, peeking from behind the top of the snow-pile], it had cleared up enough so people were able to make it to the show.
We were back in business.

Despite one snow day, overall we had a great show in Baltimore.
Our last day, we headed back home.
A grand send off as we waited for the plane to take off.

Goodbye to snowy Maryland!
See you next year!

And hello Portland!
