I waffled!
I waffled some more!
So I woke up late, 10am, and thought,
I'll go Sunday.
No, there won't be much left
I really should just go..it's a beautiful day!
So by the time I called a friend,
showered, got ready, pulled out a tote bag
and my wire cart,
stopped to get gas and then on to the bank...
picked up my friend,
and drove an hour and a half~
~I arrived at the Country Living Fair ~ Glorious!
It was just before 2:30pm...
and they closed at 5pm!
and they closed at 5pm!
So I shopped fast and
snapped a ton of pics and had an awesome time.

I will definitely go back next year....
and plan on shopping ALL three days!
Even so,
I was able to cover A LOT of ground!!
Unfortunately,
I did not get around to all of them
but have quite a few to share with you.

I met some wonderful,
friendly vendors and shoppers and
saw some amazing wares!
Let's go for a stroll, shall we?
Hope you are wearing comfortable shoes!
There's a lot to see!

Thank You to all the wonderful vendors
who allowed me to take photos!
Here is a link to all the vendors and their information:
http://www.countryliving.com/2011-atlanta-vendors
To my disappointment,
there were quite a few who would not allow it,
in fear of ideas being copied.
I understand their concerns,
but would have loved
to share with you
their creations and beautiful booths!
I missed at least a third of the fair,
but watch out next year ~
I may just have 200 shots to share!
This is the view of Stone Mountain
as we left Stone Mountain Park -
beautiful day, beautiful surroundings!
I am so glad I went!

Thank you, Martha!!!! for sharing. These are awesome pics - I will be returning to look at them again. Next year!
Thank You T! Next year I'm going at least two days! We need to get a van together and pile in and go! Thanks for looking and commenting! Always means so much! :)
hugs, Martha
You are quite the accomplished photographer.
As a vender, I was not able to shop the show and
I appreciate being able to see these pictures.
Thank You for including me in your blog.
Martha.....Im speechless! (well I can still type the words..lol) I cant even pic a favorite because it's all so wonderful. Im going to have to make time next year to attend, maybe we can meet up. Ive never been down to Georgia for a visit. I love all the old typewriters and junk art. Im in love with the chair that has scraps of fabric spell out LOVE...such a big thing in my house! Husbands nickname...lol
You did a wonderful job for such a short time....it looks like an amazing experience!

Incredible pictures did you happen to snap any of imPRESSed that was my booth and I forgot my camera go figure:) If you happen to have any I would love to see them.
TIA
imPRESSed...I am sorry to say I did not see your booth! There were quite a few I missed as I got there so late on Saturday! I have seen several blogs with pictures though...if you can send me a web address or email me a photo of what your product looks like..I'll go out in search of some pictures for you and pass along the blog post to you! My email is mpassman@windstream.net! Don't know if I can do it, but next year I'd like to snap some pics from each booth (the ones who will let me)...and post even more pics! I hope we can find some pictures for you! Blessings, Martha
Pamela and Melanie..thank you for such kind words...Pamela if you only knew...how so far from accomplished I am! But I do look for shots I think are pretty...then pray the camera knows what to do! LOL! I have improved since my first few blog posts...but there is so much room for improvement! Your booth was wonderful! Melanie...you may just have to get down here and then you might decide to live here instead of near the beach! :)
OMG! Martha!! Awe-Inspiring to say the least!! I can't wait until Country Living Fair comes to Austin in March? I think? Thank you so much for posting, makes me wanna go create!! YAY!!
Hugs

Loved seeing all the pics of the fair!!! It was such a great show. Thanks for stopping by our booth and taking pics. We greatly appreciate it. Until next year...
Thanks for taking us through the show!! As a vendor I don't get very far from my tent. You made the show come alive for me. I am going to put you in my post about CLF so my readers can see what and amazing show it was!
