Country Living Is County Wide

As you know, I visited the Country Living Fair in Rhinebeck, New York this past weekend.

And I had a great time!  Loved it.

The weather was perfect, in my opinion.  It was hot.  Sunny.  I planned poorly and wore jeans.  Way sweaty.  But I was happy as a clam.  I was visiting with all the vendors, hearing what they had to say.  Taking it in.

I shopped, and got a few really cool things.  Truly though, I went there with one thing in my mind that I wanted, and that was an antique dough bowl.  I found the vendor that I remember had several last year for sale.  So excited, I texted Sean to tell him that the vendor was back again this year.

Here’s how the conversation went:

Me:  The dough bowl guy is back!

Sean:  Cool.  Just get a small one though.

But then the text went into the mode of typing what I knew he wanted to hear, but I was planning the opposite.

Me:  ok.

Big it is.

So I picked one out that’s 4 feet long.  It’s huge.  Far from “small” but so great.  I love it.

And after that, I found a beautiful vintage linen table cloth that I know I will use a lot.

I’m a sucker for marquee letters.  Got my initials.

But then I saw Cari Cucksey of the hit HGTV show Cash and Cari.  I introduced myself, gave her my card and thanked her for following me on Twitter and Instagram.  I was thrilled to meet her!

Then right as we were leaving, I picked up scrabble letters for Be Fed Again.

It was a great fair, as always.  I was happy to be there.  I met some wonderful people, and had a really great time.
