rag ghosts and chocolate chip cookies

thisbe has been preparing for another sale for about two weeks. this time the sale would be at our house. she used up almost all her fabric making rag ghosts. she set out to make rag dolls to sell however she quickly realized that the heads looked a lot like ghosts and a ghost is much easier to make than a doll. so she worked hard and made about 50 ghosts. she had me bake up a couple pans of cookies and she was set. thisbe made a couple of signs and sat out in the drive way waiting to see who would walk by. magnus joined in and was very good at getting walkers attention.

it was a slow two hours. not too much happening on our street.

the neighbor came out and supported them by buying some cookies. i guess they liked them because they came back for more. thisbe also sold one of her rag ghosts. a young girl on a scooter came by a bought one.

when they were tired of sitting in the sun, they packed up and came in. thisbe gleefully announced that she would save the rest of the rag ghosts for the next sale.

A bit better

Today my new camera arrived. It ended up being a birthday present. I opened it up, stuck in some batteries, popped on the lens and started shooting. I'll sit down and read the manual as soon as I have time. I'm not sure what the settings were on, I just started shooting. I think a few adjustments would have yielded a bit better quality but I'll have to figure out all that later.
