I am majorly bummed because I am good at sewing and cooking but whatever. Here in Ohio you can get ribbons for home ec. This is the ones from the littler kids.





This is Harry Potter Pumpkin. And this is a stamped card like you can buy on Etsy.

This is an amazing hooked rug that won Best Of Show. Deservedly. The picture doesn't do it justice.

Here are some quilts. I particularly like the one with the farm equipment. I wish I could buy it.

This is the cut flower competition. Because this is the last day of the show, they all look like crap. At the Philadelphia Flower Show you need to refresh every day. A couple of guys looking at them note that people pay a lot of stuff for this. Especially the fake one. For decorating you know. Then they note the purple arrangement and shrug.

IMG_3973.jpgThese are the prize-winning arrangements, commercial class and regular. Lots of garden clubs do the pumpkin thing. Didn't know it was prize winning. Note to self: do more pumpkin and flower arranging. Win prizes.
