Blueberries and Ancient Egypt

In case you haven’t noticed, we LOVE a theme!  And this month we have two!  Blueberries and Ancient Egypt. 

Blueberries are in season, of course, and with all the recent rain, even the blueberry bushes in our overgrown garden are producing some lovely berries this summer.

Normally we would be heading off to the Blueberry Festival in Bethlehem the third weekend in July, but this year we have a happy family celebration that weekend.  Not to

fear though, we will be going to the Blueberry Festival in Chincoteague, VA the following weekend!

This will be our very first “away” show and to celebrate, we are making a vacation of it.  We are hoping to see the annual pony swim and auction and looking forward to a great festival and wonderful week.

In preparation for the festival, we have been busy making berry bowls and blueberry jewelry.  We even have a great recipe for blueberry cobbler for you!

On the party front, we have been focused on projects based on Ancient Egypt – including mummies, hieroglyphic writing and of course, jewelry.  We want to thank the wonderful management and staff at KinderCare on 17th street in Allentown for inviting us to create with their children.  The kids were super and made so many creative and fun projects!  We will be posting pics and some instructions for anyone who wants to try the projects themselves.
