THE FINE ART OF "CRAFTS" at Cherry Creek Arts Festival 2013 + (FOOD) The Apple Diet!

ARTS
The Cherry Creek Arts Festival
Features Crafts this Year
(Denver, Colorado, USA)

Every year ARTSnFOOD covers the Cherry Creek Arts Festival in Denver, Colorado, because of its sampling of art from across the U.S.A. The fair features the kinds of art "occasional collectors" throughout America appreciate and buy.

This year the CCAF was dominated by Artisans and Craftspeople, who also create great art, but their works are usually categorized as "fine crafts" rather than "fine art".

Here is a selection of CRAFTS from across America at CCAF-2013.


The outdoor Cherry Creek Arts Festival is one of the most prestigious arts festivals in the U.S.

FOOD
THE APPLE DIET
"Eat Dessert First!"

Doctors say, if you eat an apple 15 minutes before Lunch & Dinner, you will be much less likely to overeat, you will not want larger portions during the meals. Two apples a day WILL keep the weight (and the doctor) away!

Until later,

Jack
