The Country Living Fair, Rhinebeck, N.Y. 2013

School's out and I have to be in work early tomorrow so I thought I'd post a few pics from the Country Living Fair in Rhinebeck.  We had a great time despite the very rainy weather, luckily almost everything was in barns, most with open sides but it was great protection (still needed your brolly and boots to get from barn to barn).


This was the scene....beautiful oil cloth bunting everywhere




Bunting 'n' Brollies sounds like a good name for a British shop





Del Castillo Bag Company were there, very friendly.....they were featured in the Country Living Magazine

Stash Style was a fun collection of all sorts of things




I especially loved this sign




We had a nice chat with Donya from Metal Monk https://www.donyalynnobrien.com/




And another lovely chat with Crystal from Sweet Tea Clothing Co. all the way from Asheville, N.C.  I bought a couple of these mason jars they have a grid top so great for flowers or a candle or plants.  https://www.etsy.com/shop/sweetteaclothingco




This was a funky store I forgot the name of!!!!




Magnets anyone?  Nice job Vanna White




I was so tempted by this piece until I saw the SOLD tag on it




Pine cone chandelier anyone?




Loved these burlap flowers on a cushion




I was kind of shuffled along past this shop I would have loved to check it out a little more, it was 1 way traffic around the outskirts of a barn




They had everything but the baby's bath tub there scratch that




This was an eye catching shop Hi Ho Home  http://www.hihohome.com/home.html




I loved the concept of this 'a picnic to go'.  Lori was so friendly.  http://apicnictogo.com/




The bluegrass band, might have been called Grass Fed.  I think these were the same guys that walked around the bigger barns playing their fiddles for the shoppers but I could be wrong.  Either way all music was terrific.




I saw this crocheted wheel cover on the way out, so clever.


So that was our visit in a little visual nutshell.  It was a great day and I think I'll be putting in an application form if they have the fair again next year, I think
Textile Trolley would do alright there!

There are more pics over on pinterest if you are interested....
