St. James Court Art Show

Day one.  A successful day of sales, seeing vendor friends that we see only once a year, visiting with returning customers....what else could anyone ask for?  Maybe pictures?  Well, I have to laugh at myself.  I took my camera and did not take one picture.  Hopefully, tomorrow will be a better photo day.

The quality of vendors on Fourth Street is super this year.  I love the creativeness of each vendor.  Unlike fiber festivals/shows,  the variety of art work is so diverse.  I would love to have the time to stay in a booth and just soak up the energy emitted by each artist. 
But, the time out of my own booth is limited to just a few minutes each day....less than, I would guess, ten minutes.  Therefore, I will never be able to see the work of many vendors....only those in my immediate area.  

The show is located in a historic area of  Louisville, called Old Louisville. The home behind our our booth was build in 1863.  The area is the nation's largest Victorian neighborhood in the United States! 


The residents of the home are Rikki and her husband.  He is a professor at the University of Louisville.  She is an avid collector of anything Lion.  To walk into her house is to walk into a walk into a museum of Lion art.  There are Lion paintings, sculpture, stuffed Lions, Lion jewelry etc....  


Rikki always had a "spread" for artists in their area.  Food abounds.  Delicious food and a BATHROOM!  She also shares her recipes.  


She told us a joke yesterday and I am going to close today's blog with the joke.


"There was a woman, 
she was driving down the road and saw a frog.....
she picked up said frog.....
while driving, the frog asked for a kiss....
she kissed the frog....
the frog turned into a super handsome guy.....
THEN the frog  asked her  if he could kiss her....
She said "OK"
and She turned Into................


tune in tomorrow night  to find out what.....


Good night and God Bless y'all.....
