Fiddlers Frolic and My Metal Animals

Friday night, 4/24/09, we went to Hallettsville, TX. They host a state wide Fiddlers contest with fiddle playing for fun and a band featuring Frenchie Burke performed. They have Cajun food, beer, wine coolers, desserts, music, BBQ cook-off and alot of vendors are there selling their wares.
I love dragonflies. Can't get enough. Well, Joseph & I were walking around and I spotted a pink dragonfly. The 1st time I looked at it, the 2nd time I looked at the price, then the 3rd time I was just drooling. It was $29.99- too much I thought. The lady must have seen me all these times and finally came up to me and said "$24.00". Hmm, I only had $19 on me. I told her I would think about, turned to leave, counted my money again, turned back to her and said, "I only have $19." "Oh, I have to ask HIM." This big, tall, hefty guy came up to me and I just kept looking up,up,up. Kinda scary big-I thought. "I only have $19." He looked at me and said, "I'll take your $19, I don't want to take back with me." "WHEW, WHEW !! yippee......" I was estatic.

And, here it is, my pink dragonfly on a stick! so . . . . . . . . . . . . What do you think????

I bought 2 of these neat metal dragonflies in Victoria at Market Days in March and I am getting 1 more for a project that I have in mind -I will show you when I am finished

My metal "Rock Bird" it has a rock for a belly, and it "rocks" back & forth in the wind, so there are 2 reasons for the name "Rock Bird" - neat! huh?

This is "Metal KiWi"-we named it Metal Kiwi because he looks like our real parrot-Kiwi. I bought him in Schulenburg October 2007 while coming home from a big outdoors Market Days in Warrenton, TX on the other side of LaGrange. It has miles and miles of vendors with everything you can imagine. And some great food too.

Metal RoadRunner - I have 2 of these....beep,beep

Not metal, but I just liked the bird house made out of pvc pipe and a funnel - I hope a great little family of birds can find this one.
