WOW! Great artist date!

I made it to the art fair today for two AMAZING artist dates (I counted each location as a seperate date... mostly because I "owe" myself three... but also to help justify the volumes of money I spent).

Yes, I blew my budget again this year... but I have no regrets! Given the fondness with which we hold the previous purchases (and what a bummer it was when one of them broke), I think it was money well spent.

Here are some highlights!

~ a piece of fabric art I fell in love with ~

the artist had so many beautiful works, it was difficult to choose!

~ Serving suggestion ;) ~

Were the (phenomenally underpriced) cuddling quail done by the same artist who crafted last year's (also underpriced but equally cherished) bird vase?

~ Detail on a trivet I bought for the patio ~

~ my "fairy" house, a charming candle lantern ~

~ with candle ~

~ Shining on the trivet, just a lovely as I imagined! ~

I'm thinking about needlefelting a little grassy path for this set...

~ fairy house keeping my one rose company ~

I have a few more pieces... mostly gifts, though, so you won't see them here!

My well feels full for the first time in weeks! Hurray!
