Village Harvest Festival

This weekend, our nieghbors at Earthaven Ecovillage (home of the Red Moon Herbs and Southeast Women's Herbal Conference offices, and the kids homeschool enrichment program) held the 1st annual Village Harvest Festival. They brought in a variety of vendors selling an array of crafts and goods, set up a stage for some local music, and provided demonstrations of yogurt making, felting, etc. The kids and I had a great time dipping beeswax candles...here is a photo of some of our favorite wonderfully shaped candles...
My co-worker, Carmen, set up the Red Moon Booth under our brand new EZ up tent that we are very excited about. David and I set up a booth for the Forest Children Program to promote the program in hopes of bringing in new families and to sell the kids book, Princess Gilanee. Cutest niece ever, Lilikoi, joined the girls and I for some hula hooping.
The wonderful parents or our dear friend Karen have been visting from Holland. Ronald and Trudy Hendrikse hold a very special place in our hearts and we dream of being able to visit them one day. Although they did not bring us gifts of cheese and smoked eel this visit, we did witness one of the sweetest gifts ever....Gita, who can be very shy, was thrilled to see them!
