Initial Charm

Over the weekend, we went to Applefest in upstate New York, a street fair that is never void of a couples walking hand in hand, kids running around with freshly painted faces, laughing, dogs on leashes and lots of great stuff! And you have to have a game plan, arrive earlier than you think reasonable and stop at Cafe Ala Mode for a cup of graham cracker flavored coffee. And after that first sip, "Ahhhhh," you're ready to walk and get lost among vendors, the farmer market and the smells of street fairs. We ducked around a corner for some privacy, as we took bites of fried dough topped with powdery sugar, maneuvering ourselves with the wind, to avoid getting sprayed with white powder. (My husband was successful, I was not and wore black, lol. Patterned outfits are best when dealing with street fair food.) We marched on and had to keep an eye on Daisy as she randomly took licks of the street, lol. She was a really happy dog that day. On the side streets, there were garage sales tucked in between vendors and I was a happy girl that day too. After my garage sale rush, I found such an awesome rustic initial charm that I am currently obsessed with! If this is something that you would like, you can find your initial at www.asarum.etsy.com.
