This morning we headed northeast to a woodworking sale in Churubusco. Because so many craft shows have been canceled due to the corona virus, Fred Inman organized a sale at his home/workshop as well as at several other studios including pottery.
It was a pleasant drive through the country to the sale site.
Mr. Inman's property had a nice pond.
He turns on the lathe extremely large pieces compared to what my husband can turn on his mini-lathe.
His wife does scrollsaw work. Two other ladies (Shelly Bice and Doris Geiger if I remember right) also had items for sale.
Mrs. Bice shares shop space with Mr. Inman. She was demonstrating turning. She sometimes teaches classes at Oak Tree woodworking supply shop; right now those classes are not allowed because of social distancing problems.
Pieces in progress. She does a lot of segmented turning.
When we finished browsing, we headed for Columbia City. Around two sides of the courthouse square a farmers' market was taking place. We were unaware of that until we arrived. Our purpose was to eat lunch in Columbia City.
We bought this blueberry and lemon zest jam to try. The label says blueberry zing jam.
Pickles Cafe formerly was situated near Fort Wayne. It relocated this year to Columbia City.
The grilled ham and cheese sandwich came with a light applesauce/butter to spread on the toasted bread or use as a dip for the chips. My husband and I had the 1/2 sandwich, cup of soup combo. The thick spicy tomato and artichoke soup was interesting. We ended the meal by splitting a piece of pumpkin pie. The crust was not pastry, but crushed walnuts baked into a pie shell. Topped with whipped cream, it was delicious.
It is quite warm today (soon to be near 80) but very windy. A beautiful but atypically warm October day.
