It's that time again...
You know all about the Country Living Fair, right!?! Well if not let me take on a little stroll down a place I love to visit each year as it comes to the Hudson Valley, Rhinebeck, NY.
Each year Country Living Magazine travels to different cities and Rhinebeck happens to be one of the lucky ones to have them. The visit brings a place where talented vendors bring their goods to sell, amazing food, presenters taking to the stage to demonstrate their product, and where friends gather to enjoy all there is to enjoy.
This was last year with Cari from RePurpose & my awesome, sweet friend Evey, who will be presenting on stage Sunday at 3 pm. This year we will miss seeing Cari's smiling face!

| Evey, Cari, & Lynn |
I've wandered for hours just getting lost on the Dutchess County Fairgrounds in the depths of amazing finds... from beautiful repurposed furniture..
....to fun smalls...
Onto watching your favorite presenter on stage...
It's truly a fun day out, and I'd love to give tickets to you to enjoy for not just a day but the weekend if you so choose.
