This year's fair was really quite good. I generally expect to see the same types of wares every year: pottery that all looks pretty much the same, photography that looks pretty much the same...but we were pleasantly surprised at the excellence of the artists and the variety of things we haven't seen before. Pia got a very cool piece of "kaleidoscope" art from LaGrave Designs: the artist formed pictures by cutting and layering many photos of the object (Pia got the Eiffel Tower):
I stuck to my $40.00 budget (though it was hard) and bought a pack of cards with my favorite chickens:
I also got a little housewarming gift for our soon to be Austin-dwellers. Austin is known for the colony of bats that roost (?) under the Congress Bridge:

the bat looks a little creepy, but i think it will be perfect!
he's only a little creepy :-)
he's pretty cute actually.
and i agree, i could have easily spent a couple thousand this year, it was such a great variety! :)
you hit a bonanza it sounds like - hoping to hit edmonds next weekend . . .
Too much good stuff. I love my kaleidoscope art! I also bought a really cute hat since I'm still on my quest to become a hat person. :)
Super cute. Love having art around the house. Zaide is always a very good picker.
We saw so many pieces of yard art that screamed Zaide. Nothing as cool as the tree Kip made her tho. does he do commission work :-)
Don't get Zaide's anymore yard art...she's turning into Boo Radley.
NO SUCH THING as too much yard art, B-Z Radley her I come!!
