Today was the last of two Vintage Markets held at the Liberty Grove Historical Society Museum. Last month, I tried to sell some of my Halloween kits; this month I tried to sell Thanksgiving and Christmas kits.

She had been given my name after I contacted the Association to make a proposal for a fundraiser for them.
