Editor’s note: Some misinformation has been corrected in this caption. Erica Baxter of Vermont models the tie-dyed cover up she purchased Saturday morning, Oct. 28, at a craft fair at The Dutch Treat in Wilton. With temperatures in the high 70s at the time, the covering was more for style than warmth. Baxter was visiting mom, Rebecca Essman of Wilton, whose birthday was coming up Monday.
