Country Living Fair...






H-e-l-l-o girls!!! I'm back from the Country Living Fair. It was fabulous! Wonderful weather, talented women, and time spent with new and old friends!! I'm still in recovery mode and am dog tired, so I hope you don't mind, but I'm going to make this short and sweet and get straight to the pictures (sorry I didn't take all that many, I was too busy eating deep dish cobbler and salted caramel ice cream)...






That's me, pretending to be "glamping!"

































And, yes, we did manage to find an Anthro in Ohio that carries shoes...had to pick up a new pair of lovelies...mine are the brown ones and Kasey's are the blue ones!









I couldn't have asked for a better traveling partner than my sweet, generous, and often down right hilarious friend Kasey...thanks girl for being such a great friend, you're the best!!! Check out Kasey's blog for more pictures, as I do believe she snapped quite a few more than I did.

As for what I bought, I'll have to show those picks later because I hear the pitter patter of little feet coming down the stairs...and those babies have missed their mama :)

Oh, and the winner of the magazine and Starbuck's card is June from Laughing with Angels! Email me your address and I will get your mag and card right out to you!

Looks like you guys had a great time! I'm glad you had a safe trip. I have just one question for you. Did you shop in those shoes????? I think I would die if I shopped in shoes like that. Don't get me wrong, they are DARLING, but I seriously can't even imagine.:)

You two are so FREAKING cute!! Glamping? I LOVE THIS WORD!! Please tell me that's your glamper?! I'm dying inside with total envy!! Also, is that perfectly perfect yellow sweater you are wearing an anthro sweater? If so, I'm coming to raid your closet because I coveted one just like it all the way back in May!! :)

Andrea - Faded Plains said...

You guys look so cute...and love your brown shoes too.

Tracy is ... Loving Pretty Things said...

The shoes are TO. DIE. FOR. Both of them. I saw that K got some Anthro T-straps...but had no idea just how ADORABLE they are. But I have to say, I would have copied you and got the same pair. The rosettes? ENOUGH. They're adorable.

Can't wait to see more Country Living pics! Just might have to make it out there one of these years, my in-laws are in Ohio, not sure where this was, but I'm sure I could manage something!

xoxoxo

June said...

Tracey, I can't believe how lucky I am to win such a killer giveaway! Thank you so much! Now do you think you could throw in those shoes as well? OMG, that sounds so greedy. But those shoes would make anybody greedy.
I can't wait to tell my husband that he and I are going glamping this week. I love the camper! You are the prettiest glamper I've ever seen.
Your pictures are awesome. I've got to go back through them now.
Hugs, a real big hug,
June

chandelier magic - beach house said...

Hi -
Thanks so much for stopping by and commenting - believe me it's scary for me up there. Not to mention when he's flying it's scary for me down here - we have an agreement in stone that he has to let us know every time he lands.

I love your blog and each photo of your shopping trip - I want it all.

Thanks also for making me appreciate my friend Lori - eventho when one of us nabs a treasure before the other - there a little delight in the lucky one overpaying.

See you soon -
Marsha

I love your trailer, I would never have thought of decorating a trailer like that. I was hoping to buy one if our foreclosure goes thru, and travel the US. I know I'm really crazy, but now after seeing your pics, I can't think of anything more fun!
