It was such a festive day! The Boston Mini Marathon took place last Saturday, October 31- aka Halloween. Rich ran the full 13.1 mile race! The festival is always a big draw. An estimated two thousand people packed the little town this year. There was music, a parade, lots of food and fun. The new pizza place around the corner, called the Buzzery, was a happening spot!
Rich's dad came down from Huntsville. He brought a few pieces of furniture to display, use and sell in the gallery.
This chest is an old wooden piece that was in the house Rich grew up in. It fit perfectly against the wall under the series of photos of a prescribed burn. Rich took those photos at Pebble Hill, the local plantation museum.
This chest was also in the house Rich grew up in. Lori's still life painting works well with the finished wood.
The chairs in the main gallery, and rugs really soften the space. They make for nice conversation spaces.
The old post office on Main Street became a pop-up "French Market" featuring a few items from each downtown business. We put this display together. Several cards, mugs and the painting were sold over the weekend.
We had invited a few artists to set up on our side yard to display, sell and demonstrate their work. This is Wyatt. She is a textile artist. She spins yarn, weaves it into fabric, and tailors fine garments. She also knits wool socks and other items.
Lynn and Jeff Freeman also set up. Lynn makes beaded jewelry. Jeff creates and repairs stained glass windows.
We drew a lot of interest and activity. It was a good day!
