Country Living


We decided to do the Country Living Fair again this year.  We were not disappointed.  Not for one minute.  Arriving a day early we enjoyed dinner together reminiscing about high school; sharing ideas for crafting; and laughing the night away.  Truth is we were all tuckered out from traveling but we are no slouches...we are party girls, don't you know!  Giggling, sipping wine over ice (carefully counting calories) in plastic cups, nibbling on M&Ms and sesame sticks we fancied ourselves quite cosmopolitan!


The days were cool and slightly overcast; the breeze was quite welcomed and there was, to our relief, no rain.  We saw felt crafts; handbags, stationery, rugs, barn signs, and knit wear.  We sampled kettle corn, dips of the savory and sweet kind; bruschetta, jams and jellies.  We saw vintage fabrics, oil cloth, toile, vintage buttons and notions.  And ornaments, glassware, antiques, and collectibles.  We saw handmade soaps; repurposed furniture and milk paint of rich and vibrant colors.  We saw Cari Cucksey who told us every true junker needs to do the 127 and start in Tennessee and Shawna Robinson of Happy Chair (you have to see her things!) 

 We, in a nutshell, shopped 'til we dropped.
When we were done with the Country Living Fair we shopped at Easton Town Center; caught a movie then crashed in our hotel room talking long into the night. Again.

The next day we hit the neighborhood circuit for a couple yard sales and packed our vehicle with so many treasures there was barely room for us!  I'm not saying who, but one of us cannot pass up a chair or three!

I'm only speculating but its possible my gal pals think slumber parties are as much fun as I think they are!

What's next ladies?
