That Magical Place We Call Vermont

Should I let you in on a secret...the most amazing little tucked away town in New England? It's the town of Waitsfield in the Mad River Valley of Vermont, and I was lucky enough to spend the weekend there, covering an incredible art event. Of course, I wish I could show you all of the amazing images I have from artist studios, galleries and events...but alas, those will have to wait. What I can show you is the amazing scenery... ...the lovingly maintained old barns and carefully cultivated gardens......tucked away secret tree forts (my little brother would have loved this one!)
...the amazing sense of community that I experienced when I attended the town barbecue, held in an open air barn strung with twinkling lights.
So besides lapping up the gorgeous scenery and enjoying the local scene, what else did I spend my time doing? Eating...I pretty much ate my way through the entire state, one grilled pizza, one homemade donut, at a time. Let me tell you ladies, they grow them pretty darn cute in Vermont....and by that I meant the farm animals, of course! I hope your weekend was filled with beauty and plenty of good cooking! I'll be back tomorrow to show you around my favorite spots in Burlington...stay tuned for an incredible fabric and yarn shop, and, of course, a great bakery!
