Hello, My Friends~~~
A television icon, Barbara Billingsley, passed away yesterday. She was 94. Ms. Billingsley is most commonly known for her role as June Cleaver, Wally and Beaver's mom, and Ward's wife.
Ms. Billingsley was also known as everyone's mom. If you have ever seen a re-run of "Leave It To Beaver" you know what I mean. She rarely waore pants in any episode of the show which ran from 1957 to 1963. One episode she actually wore jeans when she was working in the garden. But most of the time she wore full crinoline and very fashionable clothes while doing housework with a strand of pearls perpetually around her neck.
If you have ever seen the 1980 movie "Airplane", you may remember Ms. Billingsley translating "jive" to a stewardess. I about passed out with laughter when "The Beaver's mom" said: "Chump don't want no help. Chump don't get no help."~~~She was tall; she was incredibly beautiful; she was a legend. Rest in Peace, dear Ms. Billinglsley.~~~XXOO, Beth
Hello, My Friends!~~

Hello, My Friends!~~
I just love Nancy. You may know her. The cool comic character with a friend named Sluggo.
Nancy was created by Ernie Bushmiller in the 1930's. I just adore her bristly hair and columnar legs with chubby brown shoes.
I bought that Nancy paper doll book in the summer. I am planning on framing it for my studio.
Any Warhol even painted his version of Nancy in 1961.
I am hoping to get this book for Christmas:
Like I said, I love Nancy!~~~XXOO, Beth
Hello, My Friends!~~~
We are spending part of Columbus Day weekend in Va's Northern Neck. Saturday morning was spent at the Wicomico Parrish Festival!
And if you have an eagle eye, you may have spotted the campaign sign for Krystal Ball to the right of the car. That is her real name. But back to the Market Day...
Wicomico Church, VA is quite a small town, literally three blocks. The Episcopal church there is quite active and Market Day is their biggest annual event with a cozy cluster of vendors of all types.
I couldn't resist the local farm fresh goodies.
I love this globe squash!
Inside the parrish hall there was a nice array of homegrown, baked and pickled goodies. We bought a dozen local eggs.
But we passed on the pickles even though they were decorated so nice. I made our own pickles this year from our garden cucumbers. ANd we have LOTS of jars!
Thanks for taking a wee journey with me on Market Day!~~~XXOO, Beth
Hello, My Friends!~~~
Thanks so much for your lovely comments regarding my previous post. You all rock!
I'm in the studio today and creating. Utter and complete bliss!
When I saw that Christmas is less than 3 months away, I freaked out. I have to get started on holiday crafts and goodies for the high school craft show in November. Yikes! Where does the time go???~~~XXOO, Beth
