Festival of Crafts

We spent part of Sunday afternoon attending the craft show and sale in Lunenburg. Wow, some really beautiful items. Great fish chowder lunch. We also stopped at one of the many galleries where a friend had three paintings exhibited in a show. Good crowd.

The craft festival was interesting. The work was well made and attractive but I had seen most of it before. There was one booth that had a great variety of hand made vests. They were made from a wide range of materials and looked very attractive. The show was definitely worth the trip. There was a bake table and we purchased a container of home made baked beans. Yum!

The artists and crafters were from all over Nova Scotia and one booth had items from Sydney, NS. This must be lucrative for them to travel several hours, find accomodations for three nights and then the return travel. There seemed to be a good crowd and there were sales happening.

An enjoyable way to spend a Sunday afternoon.
