My Monticello visit.

Finally!! It seemed to take some doing, too much really, but I finally made it to Monticello! So many great vendors, so much to drool over, admire, be inspired by, and buy. I ran into Martha with Vintage Trifles. She is using old mantle clock casings to make adorable little Holiday scenes. I quickly snatched up the one shown as a gift for a dear friend of mine. (Had to wait to post until she'd seen it, Blogland). This is but a small example of the creativity on display there.
