country living rhinebeck 2018

June 8, 2018

My very favorite fair is the Country Living Fair.  I love it.  And, I have to say that Rhinebeck, NY – which happens to be the closest location of the fair to where I live – is also my favorite location.  The Dutchess Country Fairgrounds provide a fabulous event location.  The grounds are lush and green and, in addition to all the fabulous vendors, seminars, and demonstrations, the fairgrounds provides great food, free parking, and well-maintained restrooms.

I thought you might like to see a glimpse of this year’s fair offerings, so I am sharing some photos today on Friday field trip.  My favorite booth was the one put together by South Porch Antiques.  They not only provided a great selection of antiques, but (as always) they also did so in a stunningly visual way.

P.S.  Something really fabulous happened to me in Rhinebeck at the fair and it made me so happy I chose not to skip the fair this year!  I met one of my idols!  Not only did I meet her, but we shared a hug and I got a chance to talk a little paint with her!  You may have guessed by the word ‘paint’ that the person who I met was Annie Sloan!  What a thrill!   (Thanks to my sweet friend for capturing it on film! xo)

Have a wonderful weekend!  Remember to take pleasure in simple things, Jackie
