Last week on Friday field trip, I shared some photos of my trip to Atlanta to the Country Living Magazine Fair.  As promised, I have a few more photos to share.  Last week I shared autumn themed photos.

This week, just a few holiday themed photos from the fair, to give you a little seasonal inspiration!

Many of the vendors did create holiday displays.  And, even in the rain, they were fun to enjoy!

I am a little bit of a Food Network junkie.  There, I said it!  I admit it…when my TV is on for background noise, I have it tuned in to either HGTV or Food Network.

So, squash carver Gus Smithhisler is someone I have admired in the past.  His squash creations are pretty amazing and I love watching him carve.

The process of creating a design in squash is really fun to watch and I was thrilled to get a chance to watch Gus in action!

Since it is Halloween week, in the spirit of the holiday, I’d like to share  photos of the pumpkin I watched Gus create.  He carved this design into a 600+ lb. pumpkin, not on “Halloween Wars,” but at this year’s Country Living Fair in Atlanta, Georgia.

I hope Gus inspires you to step up your pumpkin carving game!

Thanks for stopping by!  Remember to take pleasure in simple things, Jackie
