Strolling around MadisonFest.

A busy day in Madison, G. A.

We started things off at the primary school track meet where Joe raked in the ribbons ~ as did all the participants.

Then I decided to walk downtown to MadisonFest. A plant sale, craft and art sale extravaganza.

So many cute things….

There were tons of activities for the kids, painting, having their face painted (which always freaked my kids out), eating blue snowcones.

The Rutledge Garden Club had a great booth which in addition to lots of plants had lots of cute craft ideas.

Eugene Swain was painting. I kick myself I didn’t buy a little cardinal for $25 at a booth when we first moved to town.

Just goes to show you….sometimes you need to go with your gut. I would have loved looking at that painting for the last 10 years.

This is the one I would have bought today. Alas, my checkbook didn’t have much in it.

But I did have enough to visit my good spin friend Lisa Hamilton’s booth. I arrived just as did Phyllis, another Monday night spin regular…

Lisa, a high school literature teacher by day, jewelry designer in her heart.

I found two cool necklaces and got to take them home in a one-of-a-kind bag by her daughter.

One of those great small town days. And a beautiful one at that.

What did you do this Saturday?
