I travelled to the woods of Berea, KY this past weekend.  They were absolutely enchanting with tall trees surrounding the paths that were lined with incredible artists.  While it rained a bit on Friday (only a slight deterrence to serious art shoppers), we had sunny skies and intense heat the rest of the weekend.  The trees were great about providing shade here and there.  We all just sweated alot and enjoyed each other regardless.  It was fun to see familiar faces and meet new folks as well as get to know some other artists. 

The lovely people who organized the event had all the vendors out for some soupbeans, cornbread, and good ole music.  The musicians organized themselves and played fiercely while the rest of us embraced the down time and watched Josie do a bit of fire hula hoop dancing.  (For those of you who know me, you know this was a particular highlight).  Yes, I tried the hula hoop.  No, I did not try the fire. 

 I am most thankful for the interactions this past weekend.  It was fabulous being back in Berea for a bit.
