The Final Day - Arts and Crafts Festival 2013



Saturday brought huge crowds to the 61st Annual Fairhope Arts and Crafts Festival.
"Chamber of Commerce Weather" was unrivaled with sunny skies and temperatures in the low 70's.


There were plenty of good things to eat, and if you were cute, you got exactly what you wanted.
One likes chocolate, one likes vanilla.  That's how you tell them apart!



The new Dogwood Trail Maids Court made their first appearance this weekend to rave reviews!



There was fabulous opera in the courtyard of Pinzone's.  



Just a reminder:  We love America!



If you couldn't get enough of Fairhope's real flowers, you could take home one of these 
"Steele Magnolias" (or daisies) for your garden.



This is Jan who creates these lovely creatures in her Magnolia Springs studio. 
Not the dog — the things on the table.



Art by Chris Crumbie.
Who?
Chris Crumbie!


And yes, the line finally let up enough to where I was able to get some Kettle Corn!  
Mission accomplished and another great festival in the books.

It looks like an amazing weekend. All those ruffles on the dress. I think that might be worse than the lace I had on mine for Marengo Maids
