VIRGINIA HIGHLANDS FESTIVAL

Susan and I took a little road trip yesterday to
Abingdon Virginia.
Abingdon,
in my opinion is a
near perfect
small town.


It's home to the "Barter Theater",
"Martha Washington Inn",


and countless Bed & Breakfasts.


Every year around this time they have their
"Virginia Highlands Festival".


It is quite an event around these parts.
Artist and craftsmen come from all over
the US to sell their treasures.


I purchased this colorful
pottery wren house from one of the vendors.
It has found a home between my upstairs
bathroom windows.


This hummingbird feeder pole
was made by "Hunt Country Iron"
The artist came all the way from
coastal Georgia.
Now I need to find (or make) the
perfect hummingbird feeder.


The last item I brought home
is this adorable cat birdbath.
I found it at one of the local antique shops
when we ducked in to cool off.



Hope you are having a great weekend.
Happy Gardening.
