Herb Saturday

We stopped at a few places trying to find some different herbs, veggies and plants in general last Saturday. First stop was the Herb Festival in Cook Forest and my fave vendor Sunny Sprouts.
She has strange and weird offerings. I picked up some fun succulents, ferns and a novelty sensitive fern for the girls to enjoy. She seems to be there every year, look at her smile, must be all the weirdness ;)


It was a very nice crowd that day

even some carvings.... what that has to do with herbs and fiber I don't know.
It is promoted at an Herb and Fiber Festival...no fiber vendors were found.
The first year that they combined the two it was wonderful with loads of fiber
vendors.

Pennsylvania Wilds juried artist Brenda Nicholas was a vendor. You may know her from other shows and I also had her featured at The Flemish House last year at this time with her glorious mosaic work. I do have a very nice selection of her dichroic pendants that are a quick sell in the gallery.




next was Quiet Creek Herb Farm in Brookville, Pa.
Loved the Shitake Mushrooms, sustainable living lifestyle, mud bread oven and the straw and mud hut. Fun place to visit! I have not been there in quite a few years to visit Clair and Rusty Orner at the farm. They have added all sorts of interesting thoughts and will continue to.




the corner Coneflower planting was replaced with Violas








After we left we then went to a few garden centers in Brookville including Farmer Smith's and picked up Thymes, which is one of my fave Herbs, there are 100's. I had a nice collection of them back in the day....
Gorgeous day!
