November 2017
St. Augustine Art Festival
I was new to this show and was not surprised that they stuck me way, way back on the very last row, only one from the end. I was nearly in a corner but there was nothing I could do about it.
Set up was early in the morning, a good thing, but the weather was dismal. Cold, damp, misting rain with wind that cut through all my layers. Okay, I only had one thin jacket but it was enough. I hate wearing lots of clothes.
Bradley's Fun Day
Tallahassee is home to one of the most charming, old timey county stores in the South. Situated 12 or so miles away from the city, Bradley's Country Store was built in 1927 and was placed on the National Register of Historic Places back in 1984. Follow the link at the end of this post. Step back in time. Be warned though, you'll find yourself craving sausage and grits!
Artisans in the Garden
Artisans in the Garden used to be a two day show. Restructuring and parking issues led the business who hosts it to not only scale back the number of artists, but make the show a one day event.
Tallahassee Nurseries is a gorgeous venue. The organizer does a fabulous job with layout and people really seem to love this show. This year we had everything in our favor. The weather was crisp in the morning but warmed up nicely and stayed mild all day long. There was a good crowd right from the start and it stayed busy up until closing.
