Chapter Eleven

I grabbed Ethan’s hand when we got out of his truck. The craft fair was going to be a lot of fun. There had been a hum of excitement throughout the town when local crafters, as well as crafters from out of town, were invited to sell their wares. I hoped there would be a lot of fun Halloween themed items for sale so I could add to my growing collection.

I squeezed his hand. “I’m so glad you were able to take some time off so we could do this.”

He grinned at me. “Me too. I told the chief I was going to take an hour or two and enjoy myself. I’ve already put in four hours at work this morning, so he didn’t have a problem with it.”

“I noticed you were gone early this morning. It’s a shame you’ll have to go back to the station, though.”

He nodded. “I don’t have a choice about it,” he said as we walked up to a booth that sold wood crafted items. There was an adorable painted pumpkin sitting right in the middle of the booth table.

“How cute,” I said, picking the pumpkin up and looking at it. The artist had put a lot of detail into the face.

“That is cute,” Ethan said. “Look at that.”

I looked up. He was pointing at a hand-painted wooden sign that said Pumpkin Hollow, land of Halloween. It was cute with pumpkin vine tendrils along the side and small jack-o’-lanterns painted on the corners.

“Oh, I really like that,” I said, stepping closer.

“How are you folks today?” the woman working the booth asked us.

I smiled at her. “We’re doing great. You have some really cute things here.”

She nodded. “Thanks. I appreciate hearing that. I’ve been working on Halloween items since Easter.” She chuckled. “My husband thought I was out of my mind, but I told him I was coming to the Pumpkin Hollow Days craft fair if it was the last thing I did.”

“Well I for one, am glad that you did,” I said. “Everything you have is so cute.” The booth table was filled with a variety of painted wooden signs and pumpkins.

“Thank you kindly,” she said. “If you want to know anything about any of my items, just ask.”

“I will.” I glanced back at Ethan. “I think I’ve got to have that sign. It would look cute hanging on my door.”

He nodded. “Then you had better get it now. Somebody else will come along and snatch it right out from under you.”

I looked at the woman. “I think I’m going to take that sign.” I pointed at the one hanging up.

Ethan paid for the sign and we moved down the sidewalk with Ethan carrying the sign beneath his arm. I turned to him. “Thank you for buying the sign for me.”

“Well, I look at it as I’m actually buying it for myself, too. Since we’ll be married pretty soon.”

“Then you came up with a good plan.”

“I’m smart like that.” He winked at me.

“Oh look,” I said when I spotted some handmade candles in another booth.
