Phyllis Papachek Auction

A week ago Saturday we had an auction for Phyllis Papachek near Warwick. It was a really fun auction to do, with lots of antiques! She is an incredible lady--86 years old, and just moving off the farm where she was born, and lived all her life.


Victor is getting some experience working the trailers!


Sharing a joke with Bill!

Merchandise always sells better when properly displayed


It's really interesting what you can find on these household trailers!








Our cute ringman!

The Last Bouquet

Who would have thought we'd still be picking flowers in the middle of October? I have really enjoyed this bouquet of mums, ornamental cabbage, saliva and pink roses. What first caught my eye in the garden was the wonderful combination of the purple mums with the ornamental cabbage!

Everyday Moments

So often it seems that we don't take pictures
of the "everyday moments" in our lives, and
often these are the pictures that mean the
most to us later on. This is a daily occurence
at our house--Jonathan playing with Ollie,
and Ollie patiently enduring it!







Do you really think I want to play with all these
cars lined up in front of me?

Drew and Elle

A couple of weeks ago I had the privilege of capturing these two
adorable children in some fall settings. I also sneaked in a few of
their beautiful mother! Thanks, Lana, for the fun of working with
you and the children!
