It was, by now, many years ago that Nicki and I toured Vermont during the Fall Foliage season there; their "Silly Season" when the state is over run with "leaf peepers". One of the stops was to the farm used by Bread and Puppet theatre company. There wasn't anyone around the place when we stopped, but the barn that they used to store their very large and often very strange puppets was open with the sign saying that we were welcome to go in and poke around for a bit. And, so, that's what we did and it was a lot of fun and there were some truly amazing and magical things in that barn, for sure. There was also, parked outside, the "Art Bus", looking a little bit run down and run over, but being put to good use as it contained plastic bins filled with prints and watercolors and various other kinds of art pieces that were "for sale" there in the bus. Sales were on an honor system: you just picked out one or two or more pieces that appealed to you and left the money in a box there in the art bus. So, that's what we did. We "bought" two block prints pictured here (no pun intended) and left the money, which as I remember now was about $5.00 or maybe less, in the box. Then we got into the car to drive to the next magical place, which turned out to be a Inn run by the women with stop-watches; but that's another story entirely.

Stumble It!
