The crowd was about what you would expect when it is a gorgeous spring Saturday in April. But I did see people walking around with bags of their purchases. I hope they all sold something and at least paid the booth fee. I know first hand how disheartening that can be to not sell at a show. I picked up a few pieces myself and will post a few pictures as soon as I download them from my camera. I just love to have real art in my home and wish I had a billion dollars to help support the incredible talent out there.
We had a great time and I could tell he was glad to do something fun for a change instead of just stay home. We chatted the whole time back and driving home flew by. For those of you near that area, the art fair is going on again on Sunday from 11-4 and you can download a $1 off coupon to enter, which is only $5 anyway. I hope everyone is having a great weekend.

that sounds like a real good time with dad :)) it feels warm and fuzzy. didn't know your dad's an artist too ... art runs in the family :)
ReplyDeleteThis is exactly what both of you need to do! Share a common interest and remember how wonderful your mother was and is! What a great day and memory! Thanks for sharing this. It's hard to pick up the pieces after such a loss and steps like this are so important. Would love to see some of your dad's art? Can you post a piece or two!? He sounds like a great dad.
ReplyDeleteI am glad you enjoyed a special day with your father. The fair sounded interesting. I love going to art shows - there is always something of value that I end up bringing home that was created so lovingly by an independent artisan. :) Theresa
ReplyDeletePopping in to say a belated hello.
ReplyDeleteCK :-)
What a fun adventure with your Dad. Sounds like a wonderful time. It is coming up to outdoor fair season, I love going to shop at them, I do not participate in them anymore, so much work, but I like to support where I can, can't wait to see your purchases, T. :)
ReplyDeleteSo glad to hear your Dad enjoyed himself and was inspired...I know how hard it must be for both of you without your mom. Hugs and prayers!
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like you shared such a beautiful day with your Dad- art shows/markets are always so inspiring and the creative energy in the air- wow!
ReplyDeleteI hope everything's going well with getting ready for *your* show :)
Have a great day,
