Country Living Fair in Rhinebeck NY This Weekend!

Last year, I was so fortunate to attend two days of the Country Living Fair in Rhinebeck, NY! This year I won't be able to attend which is bumming me out. But I hope you can!

There were so many wonderful vendors! There are lots of handmade items, vintage pieces, cool signs and decor, awesome food, and interesting speakers. Jim and I loved strolling around and looking at gorgeous vintage linens (OK, I loved that more than Jim) and stacks of vintage flashcards. We browsed handmade bird houses and purses. I found some unique solid perfumes for the girls as a little present. I ended up buying a few pieces of art by an artist who paints her farm animals! How personal and unique! I love my sweet cow print and after talking to the artist I found out her name is Ginger. That's what it is like at each booth: personal, unique, interesting.

You can read more about our visit to the Country Living Fair here!

And don't forget that this year you can also tour the Country Living House of the Year! Oh how I wish I could come along with you!

The area is beautiful and we enjoyed walking around the town and bit and visiting one of the Vanderbilt Estates. The view is incredible!

I hope you'll be able to make some time this weekend to attend the fair. I know you'll love it!
