LENOIR BLACKBERRY FESTIVAL

BERRY GOOD FUN!

.

Only an hour's drive from us (which turned out to be an hour and a half after taking the wrong turning!) Lenoir in NC held their 5th annual Blackberry festival on Saturday. This was our first year attending as a vendor, and we will definitely be returning for the 6th annual!

.

The whole day was good fun and well attended. There was a good mix of attractions, live music, and events (including a blackberry eating competition!) The rain made its scheduled appearance around 2pm, but it failed to dampen everyone's enjoyment.

We met a lot of friendly people, and we would like to say thank you to everyone who came by to see us. Quite a few people mentioned that they had read in the local newspaper about our real flower handbags and they wanted to check them out. I'm guessing Cathy (who expertly organized the event) ran an advertisement leading up to the festival.

Well, the real flower handbags went down really well and so too did our jewelry. All of those people who signed up for our newsletter will be entered in for our monthly prize draw. This month we are giving away a "Sarah" real flower handbag and a matching flower wallet.
