Country Living Fair - Reinbeck NY!!

Here are a few of the photos that I took at the first Country Living Fair in Rhinebeck, NY. This first round of photos are of our booth and our great customers!! Don't worry, I have more for later in the week.

Above are the sweet ladies that bought up all of our oilcloth cart liners!! The woman in the chevron shirt, loved her cart liner so much that she walked these other ladies over so they could buy liners too. I was tickled when I learned that these 4 woman didn't even know one another. Country Living Fair goers are like that, kind and generous!! Not to mention, hardcore shoppers!!

Here is another great story, the woman on the right came in and bought a tote, then an hour later, she brought her friend back so she could get one too. I asked if they were sisters and they just roared with laughter, mentioning that it would be dangerous if they were. I love that they come in groups: mothers and daughters, a couple of life-time friends and in big groups of gals. It's special, they make it a weekend to remember!!

How sweet is this pretty little one? She preferred the aqua chevron!!

Oilcloth Fair Flags for Country Living

How wonderful are these Oilcloth Fair Flags that we made for the Rhinebeck Country Living Fair? I know that's it's rude to boast but I'm just so darn proud!

Back in February I got a call from the two gents that do the fair decor for the Country Living Magazine. Robert and Ed are so wonderful, they've been such great Modern June supporters since we all meet in Ohio back in 2010. Thanks to them I get to do all those demos at the fairs. When they called this time they had the idea of taking our oilcloth banners and making them GIANT SIZED! Robert had been inspired by traditional prayer flags and was looking for a hard wearing, rain-proof option for the NY Fair. 

We spent the next few weeks going back and forth with prototypes until we found the right size and shape. You know that I had goosebumps when we pulled into the fair grounds to set up. I was beyond tickled pink!! 

The Oilcloth Fair Flags were a real hit!! They held up to pouring rain and the bright sunshine. Most importantly, they made everyone very happy. 

Here are the impressive stats! There were 678 flags in total. If strung from end to end, the 48 banners would cover 26 football fields. WOW, that was a fun order!!
