Crafty For Christmas
There was a glut of HOLIDAY CRAFT SHOWS happening in Athens leading up to Christmas and we tried to hit up as many of them as possible. A couple of weekends ago we visited R. WOOD STUDIOS to see if we could find some good deals on ceramics. We pitched in to help FLUFFY, the resident studio cat, with his medical bills, and then we marveled at the MINIATURE CERAMIC PIECES...they weren't for sale, so marveling was all we could do...
From the studio, we headed out to Winterville, way out in the country, to attend a sale called A WORLD AWAY. The craft and antique sale was behind this house, out in the woods...all the vendors set up their tables along all these trails and all these old out buildings and barns held all kinds of antiques and vintage treasures...it truly felt like we were 'a world away'...
We heard that there were ALPACAS at the neighboring SWEET OLIVE FARM...we hiked up a freshly mowed trail to the farm and found a large group of them busily gorging themselves on hay...we debated over which alpaca had the best HAIRSTYLE...
Afterwards, we dashed back to Athens to catch the last couple of hours of the INDIE SOUTH CRAFT FAIR. We got there before the sun went down and the rain came down, managing to listen to some live music, buy a few things, and make ACORN ORNAMENTS...
