We went to John Knox's craft show today. Hadn't made it to many lately... but decided it would be fun. Bob went along.
John Knox is a large retirement complex and the event center makes a great place for all sorts of shows. It is about 20 minutes away in Lee's Summit.
This time there was lots of different vendors and many of the ones that had been duplicates were gone.
We came home with a large jar of salsa.The vendor has a commercial place and lots of Kansas and Missouri tests done.. and expensive ones too. He has four regular salsas with different heat levels and ones made from tomatillos. Got to try them all.. all except the really hot ones!
Found a vendor with stained glassed and fused glass items. Came home with two pieces for gifting.
Another vendor makes the most gorgeous cupcakes... almost too pretty to eat. Took a card and may have to order special ones for a birthday or something.
Tried samples of sweet non-yeast breads. The non-gluten were not for us- too dry and grainy, But the regular ones were great and we bought a loaf of banana pecan with a crunchy topping.
Spent time talking with a pair of basket makers... one of them is buying a scrapbooking and craft shop and will be offering different classes... In Blue Springs. We will have to go and check it out!
Bob found his primary care doctor at a table offering honey products. He and his son have loads of hives and are getting more!
Two youngish vendors had lead pipe and plumbing parts lamps.. assembled or kits. Bob bought two..I see gifts in the future.
Last but not least was a table of nuts.. coated.. almonds, cashews , pecans .
LATER
Both of us were a little tired and I didn't feel much like cooking. So a pizza was ordered and picked up. Love that the pizza places all seem to be having sales!
