art & apples festival

My mom has made it a tradition to come visit me the first weekend of September and we spend the day together in Rochester at the Art & Apples Festival. 

Here are few pics of the day…

Aren’t these designer pumpkins fantastic?  Apparently Bob from Backyard Bouquet Farm created this snazzy variety by mixing pumpkins & winter squash.  They’re also known for their gorgeous sunflowers.

My mom & I both bought these spider stands… perfect for a designer pumpkin!

Sticking with the spooky theme, my mom also bought this whimsical witch.  Isn’t it funny how feathers add so much personality?  I thought that turkey (in the background on the right) was equally amusing.  No surprise, the artist’s company name was Giggles.

Another find of the day was this lovely butter dish handmade by Becky Rotter of Sodus, Michigan.

And I discovered the work of Gregg Laatsch… so fun & playful.
