Kitty Riordan has arranged for some great packaged feathers to be available for purchase.  In addition, there will be pieces of suede and fur and small antlers for sale.  Following sales there will be some discussion regarding the use of feathers to include cleaning, storing, and how to use.  If you have a decorated gourd with feathers bring it along to show and tell.

Every house there is surrounded by a garden and when the gourd dries in the sun it hardens and it can be used for everything.
