After having won the Warrenville parade with the Best of Show Float
and handing out over 800 flyers to the community... our efforts were a huge success!
What a beautiful day in the country we had! Thank you to all who participated in our "Annual Vintage Market and Art Faire".
The event was held on our grounds. Dappled shade kept the sun at bay.
The pastoral setting was divine this past Sunday, July 11th 2010, when some 30 dealers and Artisans gathered to share a common experience...
a day in the country filled with Vintage Finds and Handmade Artisan Creations.
Linda from Lil Red had such a fun collection of great finds!
These Artisans made some wonderful one of a kind yard art creations! LOVELY... many people jumped at the chance to have one of their own!
The Grounds of our Lil' Red Schoolhouse meander down to the banks of the Dupage river. Set under large stately trees... the Shade helped cool off the day! There was plenty of fun for folks young and Old!
Marie having fun in the Sun!
Louise and her new found space in the Garage!
