Each fall Mt. Vernon host a colonial market and fair. They invite artists and vendors to set up on a 12 acre field. I have gone probably a dozen times. I have to say, this year was one of the best, the weather was mild, the field was dry, and there were more vendors than in recent years (though prices were up - no real bargains to be found.) It was a great time out. One of the many joys in our neighborhood.
Some nice handicraft and wares there to be seen. I was eyeing the red headed woodpeckers. And that laying down rabbit.
ReplyDeleteThe rabbit was 12 pounds of beeswax, I didn't look at the price.
DeleteI love artesan fairs like that. I never buying anything, but those woodpeckers would have been awfully tempting.
ReplyDeleteThe bird carver's tent was busy,
