I had a pretty great time! I didn&#8217;t take a lot of photos, but I&#8217;ve got a few to show you&#8230; Before I do, here&#8217;s some of the highlights:<\/p>\n<p>\n1. The weather was PERFECT all three days. There was a bit of rain on Sunday morning, but it was nothing to complain about.. Maybe even washed some of the dust off my tent!<br \/>2. I got to hang out with William and Olga, owners of Wood Fashion Cafe in Salina, at their farm house, and eat their delicious cooking. Many animals to admire and photograph..<br \/>3. My mom, who went with me, got up both nights that we ate dinner at Wood Fashion Cafe and sang along with a couple guitar players during open mic hour. (I did the rooster that is part of the logo &#8212; seen below&#8211; for the restaurant last year!)<br \/>4. I met the ladies of The Good Lovelies, a Toronto-based harmonious trio, who were both good and lovely! And now I own one of their cd&#8217;s, and they left with some of my art as well.<br \/>5. I had some of the best art fair neighbors ever and really enjoyed chatting with them all weekend. And now I own some of their work, which includes a hand thrown tumbler with the most beautiful glaze, and some hand carved wooden utensils, walnut to be exact, to go in it. I&#8217;ve been in the process of outfitting the house I&#8217;m moving into in August, and the kitchen seems to be the only room I&#8217;ve really paid attention to! Dinner parties to come&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, here&#8217;s a few photos&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ruralpearl.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/06\/salina2011a.jpg\" alt=\"salina2011a\" title=\"salina2011a\" width=\"470\" height=\"313\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-2921\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ruralpearl.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/06\/salina2011a.jpg 470w, https:\/\/ruralpearl.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/06\/salina2011a-300x199.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 470px) 100vw, 470px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ruralpearl.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/06\/salina2011b.jpg\" alt=\"salina2011b\" title=\"salina2011b\" width=\"470\" height=\"311\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-2922\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ruralpearl.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/06\/salina2011b.jpg 470w, https:\/\/ruralpearl.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/06\/salina2011b-300x198.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 470px) 100vw, 470px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ruralpearl.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/06\/salina2011c.jpg\" alt=\"salina2011c\" title=\"salina2011c\" width=\"470\" height=\"313\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-2923\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ruralpearl.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/06\/salina2011c.jpg 470w, https:\/\/ruralpearl.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/06\/salina2011c-300x199.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 470px) 100vw, 470px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ruralpearl.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/06\/salina2011d.jpg\" alt=\"salina2011d\" title=\"salina2011d\" width=\"470\" height=\"311\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-2924\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ruralpearl.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/06\/salina2011d.jpg 470w, https:\/\/ruralpearl.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/06\/salina2011d-300x198.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 470px) 100vw, 470px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ruralpearl.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/06\/salina2011f.jpg\" alt=\"salina2011f\" title=\"salina2011f\" width=\"470\" height=\"311\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-2925\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ruralpearl.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/06\/salina2011f.jpg 470w, https:\/\/ruralpearl.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/06\/salina2011f-300x198.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 470px) 100vw, 470px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last weekend I went to Salina, KS, to exhibit at the Smoky Hill River Festival.
