Litchfield Art Fair...


artshow7

In spite of feeling slightly under the weather, I hiked it to the Wigwam Resort on Sunday to scope out the last day of the 2009 Art Fair. I took the only little person who was healthy, and coincidentally, the one who wants to be an artist! We had a fantastic time, looking at all the handcrafted items, and of course, eating ginormous medieval style turkey legs. Some of our favorite items included this local woman who made the most awesome jewelry out of antique typewriter keys, a vendor with stunning semi-precious rings, and an artist who makes these fantastic ethereal looking fairie-esque sculptures using all natural components and hand sculpted faces. They were so cool! You can scope them out here on her website.

this jewelry is so cool, I fully intend on buying a bracelet! unfortunately, I couldn't get one at the show, as we had spent all of our cash on turkey legs! Luckily she had business cards.

these handmade bottle stops were perched atop antique bottles.

This is my favorite time of the year with so many craft fairs. I think I have one to attend every weekend up until Christmas. Your photos of this one are just lovely.
