Country Living Fair ~ Austin

This is one reason Jeremy and the boys got me 
a plane ticket to Austin...The Country Living Fair!
I went with my friend, Ashley from Kalamazoo, to the
Columbus, Ohio Fair 2 years ago.  We had a great time!
So, when I saw the fair was coming to Austin for the 
first time...I told Mom that she needed to go.  Of course, Pat
wanted to go...so it worked out perfect!  Also, Lin's MIL, Janet
was going to have her booth set up with her unique, handmade jewelry.
So Tina joined Mom on the journey and Lin, Jake and the girls did too!

Lin, Me, Tina, Janet, Mom and Pat


"Skip to my Lou"  Janet's Jewelry
Every piece of her jewelry is unique.  No two pieces
are the same.  She even travels to Paris to get some of her
pieces to make her jewelry.  She also puts every piece on
an old vintage portrait card...as you can see...and writes
a small story on the back.  (sometimes letting the buyer
know where she found the piece)


Katy came!


Mom and daughter


The editor from CL was there...Mom and Tina
had bought a CL book and had her sign it!


We all wanted a pic with her!


This pic is so funny...look at mom's face!
Hilarious!


I forget what these girls were called but each group had 
a name...they have decorated these vintage campers and
they travel around setting them up!  Mainly, just for fun!
Tina has purchased her a vintage camper and is having
it refurbished...that way she can decorate it.

Rodeo takes place.  Also, Katy works for Austin Rodeo so
