Hanging at Leiper's Fork!

      

                     My sister Katherine at Pucket's Grocery

I accompanied my mother to the Harding Art Show in Nashville, Tennessee this past weekend and had a fabulous time! We took a side trip to the historic village of Leiper's Fork just south of Nashville. What a unique place.  It has strict building codes so it feels as though time has stood still for the past 50 years. Pucket's Grocery is the place to eat, listen to up and coming musicians, and hang out with the many bikers and cyclists traveling through. Add several bed and breakfast establishments and great art galleries to the mix and you have a wonderful experience! More info at www.visitleipersfork.com.

 Nationally known Nashville artist David Arms has recently opened his gallery in Leiper's Fork. As we approached "the barn" (that is what he calls it) we were welcomed by a burning fire pit surrounded with seating.  Softly playing fiddle music filled the air.  Our eyes were drawn to the field beyond to a breathtaking view of freshly cut hay bales. Several artists were set up in the field painting plien air. Wish I could have joined them! We finally made our way into the gallery and were happily surprised to find the artist himself. He told us that he is there 2 days a week and paints in his studio the other 5 days. His wife runs the show otherwise. I encourage you to view his website at www.davidarms.com. Take the time to read about the symbolism in his art. I hope to get back to Leiper's Fork soon and hopefully you will too!

David Arms symbolism - Hummingbirds - "The hummingbird goes a step beyond - they are perpetual motion.  I remember when I first saw a hummingbird still. It was startling. As it can be for us - it can be startling for us to be still.  Yet we must."

THANKS OXFORD! ANOTHER GREAT DOUBLE DECKER!

My sweet sister, Katherine, needing her morning cup of coffee.
The calm before the storm!

We want to thank the city of Oxford, MS for another great event!  A huge thanks also goes to all of the guys in our family!  I am blessed with  a husband, a dad and sons that were willing to lend us their support on this day.   From the moment that we entered the square around 6:15 a.m. on Sat. it was fast and furious.  The crowd was estimated to be 50,000 plus.  Our iPad/credit card app worked great for the first few hours but by 11:00 a.m. the server was over loaded and  customers proceeded to empty the nearby ATMs.  So much for taking advantage of the latest technology! We've now packed the tents away but look forward to using them again next year at this great event!

ART, MUSIC & FOOD in OXFORD, MISSISSIPPI!

I woke up this morning knowing this is going to be a great weekend in Oxford, Mississippi!  This weekend is the 17th annual Double Decker Food, Music and Art festival.  I get to spend time with family,  longtime best friends from Oxford and Madison, Mississippi. This is one of the few time during the year that I get to interact directly with you all and I LOVE IT!  We will hit the Oxford Square at 6:30 in the a.m. to set up tents and get our art displayed in time for the 50,000 plus crowd. Please forgive us if we look a little sleepy!  We will be located on the west side of the square near AJAX restaurant. Below you can get a sneak peek of what you can find on the Oxford, MS Square tomorrow!
