On Saturday, Oct. 1, my mom, sister-in-law Mo and her mom all went down to Wheaton Village to see their annual juried craft fair and glass pumpkin patch. Wheaton Village has been a glass-blowing capital for centuries and most recently houses a restored historical village, a glass museum, folklife center and artist studios. Every fall they have a craft fair and the highlight is their glass pumpkin patch. Hundreds of pumpkins are on display and for sale in all shapes and sizes and colors. It was really fun to see.It was also cool to see the glass blowing demo from the father/son team:
The dad has been doing it for decades and is now apprenticing his son to take over at some point. It's an impressing skill, that's for sure.
It was a beautiful day to be out and about and enjoy the sunshine, some beautiful crafts and good company.
