Last Friday I took a quick road trip to Stone Mountain, Georgia to see the Country Living Fair which is somewhat of an antique show sponsored by Country Living Magazine. The show opened at 10 and I got there about 11 and it was VERY crowded.
This great pumpkin pile was so interesting. Many people were getting their picture made in front of it and it made it hard to get a quick shot without anyone extra in the picture! The big pavilion behind the pumpkin pile was the Country Living pavilion that was styled for fall. It had several tablescapes and vignettes set up. This pavilion was the least crowded place of all so I did get some pictures there.
When I got to the shopping area, it was so crowded that I could hardly walk, much less shop, so I decided to move on to some other shopping areas and circle back around later to those that I missed. Because the show was outdoors and laid out on paths, it was a little hard to tell where I had been and where I hadn’t been. In my humble opinion, more signage with booth numbers or path names would have helped me tremendously, and no, I am NOT directionally challenged! Because it was so crowded it was hard to take photos of the booths but I did get a few!
This one was a pop-up shop in a truck! How fun!
This was probably my favorite booth. It was Dale B Studios and she has a booth at Post and Gray in Charlotte.
I loved this wheelbarrow full of pumpkins with the Nandina branch. I just noticed, the bench to the right of the white chair. I think it was purchased by Shirley of Housepitality Designs!
Probably my favorite part of the fair was seeing the vintage travel trailers from Sisters on the Fly.
The owner of the one pictured above told me that she found it on Craig’s List and didn’t have to do anything to it but paint the inside and decorate and add some decals to the outside. I may or may not have come home and checked CraigsList!
Are these not the cutest things!
This one even had the queen waving from the window!
There was also a new AirStream camper on display, hardwood floors, granite countertops and all! In case you are reading, Airstream peeps, I would love to be your test rat and drive one of those across the country on a mega-road trip! Let’s just say campers have come a long way since our former 1969 Ford motorhome was made! My children loved that old buggy and they also loved it when we upgraded to a 1995 model in 1997. I have no desire to re-live the past but we sure had fun in our motorhome days.
While I didn’t make any major purchases, I thoroughly enjoyed my little venture at the fair. It was well worth the 3 hour drive!
I hope you are having a wonderful fall!

Don’t forget, Christmas will be here in a few short weeks. If you know anyone who would be interested in purchasing the dinnerware I designed that tells the Biblical Christmas story, you can go to the website by clicking on the picture below.
