Trip with my Sister to Country Living Fair

My sister and I ventured off to Atlanta for the Country Living Fair. It was wonderful. In addition to seeing lots of antiques, collectibles - I saw lace being used in home decor in combination with burlap and muslin. My ability to adequately describe the pieces in the their splendor is limited -I am sharing a couple of the photos I took, but saw numerous other items - no they didn't make it home with me, but have inspired me to get busy making lace and using it!!

Rose festival here i come

The car is packed - off to new adventures!!

Rose Festival Arts & Crafts Show - Here I come

I am working on packing the car to go to Tyler - I have the canopy, tables and my cabinet in - now just need the main ingredient - the soap :)
The weather man says the weather will be perfect - sunny, mid 80's - I hope he is right and there is a big crowd and they buy lots of soap.
I made some upgrades on the check out booth (old radio cabinet) -the lace in the area next to name Lace Maid is an original Bucks Point lace that I made years ago- the large piece in the lower area is some machine made - over time I want to change that and put some different styles of lace that I have made- but this will work for the next several craft shows.

 

I will upload pictures of the set up in Tyler in a couple of days--wish me luck

Fall Craft Fairs
