Barn Craft Show

This past Saturday my husband and I took a day trip to Raleigh, NC. I will warn you that the photos on this post are not the greatest. I took my camera. I made sure the batteries were charged and then I forgot to take the camera card out of the computer to put in the camera. So I took these pictures with my husband blackberry. The lens was a little dirty and I did not realize it.
Anyway, we went to a craft show at a farm. The show was in a big barn with lots of different vendors. Having the show in the barn made it really magical and fun. In the photo above you can see that there was wood shavings on the floor. It was a little dark in the barn so again the photos are not so good.
These quilts were hanging. There were also some ladies hand quilting a quilt in a frame.
Some of the lights hanging from the rafters which made it more magical in the barn.
Some stalls. Down in one of the stalls were some hens roosting in their coop. Not sure if they were laying eggs or not. All the other stalls were empty.
Outside the barn was this yard art for sale.
And here are some of the chickens outside looking for some goodies to eat.
We also took a stroll in the beautiful garden full of fascinating and different flowers. The weather was perfect and it was worth the drive. Tomorrow I will show you some of the goodies I bought.

With Passion,
Carrie P.

    Even without the bestest of pictures, it looks like you had fun. What a great place to hold a craft show.
    Did you buy anything? Inquiring minds need to know...

    I was there too! My daughter is taking a photograpy course online for school and took over 300 photos! Mostly of the plants and flowers and the chickens, lots of chicken pictures. There was so much to look at and that was before we even went into the barn. I'll have to post some tomorrow. I saw some husbands standing around patiently here and there, was one of these yours?

    It looks like you had a good time ther. I love watching frame quilting, it's so different to lap quilting.
