antiques and bovines

Hello everyone!

Today my mom and I made the drive to Fairground Antiques in Swanzey, NH, and on the way there found this field of dozens of cows!

I have a deep love for cows.

So sweet! And now to the pictures from Fairground Antiques (an amazing place if you ever get the chance to go):

This scared me so much at first! I thought she was real.

I wanted this statue so much, but it was too expensive.

State flower embroidered map!

I love the odd pairings of objects set up in the booths. They're like little art installations. This elephant/white car in front of clear bottles and a black and white city-scape was my favorite.

You could order two pound boxes of bees from Montgomery Ward in 1940.

And also some New England chicks.

There is no finer cat than I am.

I love reddish-orange roses with the color lavender.

On the way home, we stopped at Bolton Orchards to get pie, and I was laughing at their fruit personification. 

I loved this pumpkin. It's wonderful how bacterial growths look so beautiful on plants and vegetables.

Last night's artist talk was so much fun. Thank you to everyone who came! I'll do a post with pictures from the night later this week. I also found something absolutely wonderful at Fairground Antiques. I brought it home and it deserves a post of its own, also soon to come!

I hope you all had an excellent Wednesday!

Love,

Amanda
