Yes, Autumn has settled in here in the Green Mountain State, making the mountains not so much green as gorgeous shades of yellow, orange and red. I have been driving very slowly these past few weeks so that I can look at the foliage around me, and still stay on the road and in my own lane even...
But this post is not about how beautiful it is here in Vermont this time of year.
It is about the three events I have recently participated in...
Basket making on Antique Hill at the Tunbridge World's Fair then willow weaving sculptures at Sculptural Visions at St. Gaudens in Cornish, New Hampshire and then back to Tunbridge for the VT Sheep and Wool Festival.
At all of these I was blessed to meet some wonderful people... other basketmakers, artists and sculptors, Anglophiles and actual English natives, folks interested in the species Salix for it's sustainability and many uses and even the new owners, at the Vt. Willow Nursery stopped by for a chat.
From my heart, a huge thank you to the folks who invited me to participate in these events and to all the people who came to see me, to share in a conversation and maybe even to weave a little willow.
My heart is full.
A few pictures for you to enjoy...

Sculptural Visions at St. Gaudens in Cornish, NH ❤ 24 September 2022
People had a fun time adding weeping willow branches to my willow sheep!
