Art by the Tracks booths

Th

Some of these sweet placemats came home with me!

Art by the Tracks early visit

I was there by 11 am...before it got hot! It was delightful with cool breezes.

The depot on the right was open the whole day.  Sutton Ave. was the only street closed for this show, as well as half of Cherry St.

Greek oils were very popular...

Anyone into chickens? All kinds here!

There were 2 little white furry guys in this cart...but they wouldn't stay still for a photo.

More ceramics will be shared over at my blog about ceramics. Alchemy of Clay.

A lunch counter from yesterday

I was surprised how many people came in from the cold to have lunch at Woolworth Walk.
My friend and I had also come to see the arts and crafts on display over the 2 levels of a former Woolworths, in Asheville, NC

The quality of work was surprisingly good, with quite a variety of media.

I admit to having a preconceived expectation (prejudice actually) that because this had formerly been a "dime store" the crafts would also be the more shall-I-say...cheap versions!  Nope.  There were a few displays of DIY which I skipped looking at, but most of them were high quality, and some incredibly good.

This was actually a gallery, where fine art was occasionally displayed.

I can never get a good photo of my friend, even when we talk about her posing for me, but this was a candid attempt.

 She was busy showing me photos of her foster kittens.  They are darling, of course.

 Oh yes, lunch was good and quite reasonable.
