the handmade market

Getting ready for a fantastic show this weekend...
The Handmade Market is this Saturday from 11-5 in downtown Raleigh.
Wingo will be there with 50 other artists. I can hardly wait to see all the goodie goods and explore the Raleigh-Durham area. Love a good art show and a little road trip.

Hope your Monday is marvelous! See you soon-jL

happy flowers

We picked the last of the Zinnias Sunday afternoon...right before the freeze.
I have a really hard time putting glass jars in the recycle bin. They are way too useful and come in great shapes and sizes.
My favorite solution for the cabinet full of glass jars...flowers.
You can share flowers with friends and they don't have to worry about returning the container. You don't have to buy a vase AND...you make more room in the cabinet.
Happiness all around.

asheville afternoon

Took some new Wingo to Wink---very cool boutique
in the Biltmore Village.
And then...spent a little time in one of my favorite favs...
The Grovepark Inn lobby/terrace.
Yesterday was such a gorgeous day for Asheville.
Red trees and blue skies.
A perfect little break from these grey rainy days.

*check out this link-
super stylish Becca-adorable dress and a Wingo necklace!

Hope your Wednesday is wonderful!

fall is here...

Andy is making his scuppernong wine.
The sweetest grape-i-est grape in the world
and it's native to our area.
One more reason to love it here.

Have a marvelous Monday!

our little clayton...

is a BOY!!!

folk fest

If you find yourself in the mood for a little road trip this weekend, might I suggest the Folk Festival? The first weekend in October The John C. Campbell Folk School has their fall festival and it is fab-u-lous!
There is a great assortment of art and craft work for sale. AND...you can explore the campus and see craft demonstrations in the studios or see the cloggers and live music in the big barn.
Wingo usually has a booth at the festival but this year I'm going for a long weekend of fun.
Hope your weekend is full of fun too!
