Spring Violets Vest - blue ribbon - $6
Baby Surprise Jacket - blue ribbon - $6

  4. Great job! That does add up to a nice bit of cash. I know you were so excited with the rosettes! When my daughter was still home back a few years ago, we baked and entered the fair. I think she did better than I did, so that was kind of fun.
