The Country Living Fair

Happy Monday!  Can you believe that it’s almost November?  Just last night I was thinking about the year and the new people, new adventures, new projects, new experiences, new hurdles and new inspirations I’ve had and all I can say is that I’m so grateful for it all.  It’s a blessing to wake up everyday and feel joyful about life.

Speaking of joyful, I sent Friday at Stone Mountain attending the Country Living Fair.  the CL fair is such a fun experience not only because of the great shopping but  because of all the amazing inspiration you take in as you wander from booth to booth. Enjoy the view from behind my lens.

A fun way to use clipboards and old marquee letters.  I passed up a whole box of these letters a couple months ago at a flea market and I’m still regretting it.
