Let's continue with more pictures of what we saw at the Country Living Fair. There are lots of pictures so get comfy. You can see the first part here if you missed it.
Need your fortune read? This was in a gypsy decorated camper. The picture of the outside accidentally got deleted.
This was a western themed camper.
They had cotton bolls there, of course.
This was a gorgeous old peach orchard ladder. I just don't have a place for one.
Loved this unusual scale, but not the price.
$26 for these old enamelware pails.
This vendor had a lot of nice collectibles. These demijohns were all $48.
The dough bowls were huge and very very heavy. They were all the fabulous price of $98 no matter what the size. I was so tired by this time I couldn't even imaging carrying one of these to the car.
Would love to have had one of these vintage German sleds. Would be great to decorate for Christmas.
Towards the end of our long day we came upon the mother load of grain sacks. Shirley recognized the vendor who she had seen at a similar fair in N.C. in the spring. The vendor is from Austria and she had the best prices. ALL her grain sacks were $45 each. There were all different colors.
She also had these fabulous chairs.
She also sold by the yard.
My loot from the fair except for the quilt. Shirley and I stayed till after four and then went back to my favorite antique mall that we had gone to on Friday. There was a fabulous piece there that I had to go back to look at and see if I wanted to make an offer.
Here is a peek.
I already miss Shirley. Can't wait to do it again.
Hope you are staying warm where you are. Cold, cloudy and windy here today.
Sure glad we went yesterday.
Have a super duper week!

Oh my goodness, Kim! Lots of great things and good prices!

All the loot looks fantastic, can't wait to see a up close pic of the star quilt pillow, and see where you will use it. Your days was a good kind of tired:)

Hi Kim, I must say I can't decide if I am in awe of this adventure or a bit green-what a great but exhausting time you had. So many things I saw I'd love but then saw the prices. To meet Cari too-wow. I love antiques and looking for treasures but bet I would have been so tired. Thank you so much for sharing.

Kim, you came away with some great loot! Those demijohns are awesome. Awesome price, too!
Hi Kim,
Wow! The vendors look amazing and had lots of inventory to choose from. What a great show!
Your new finds look beautiful, have fun finding a spot for them in your home.
All the Best,
Christine
Looks like so much fun!! Do you recall how much the grain sacks fabric were by the yard? Just curious.
Thanks for taking us along with you.

What a great day you had! I'm sure that some of the prices are inflated for the fair, but with that many vendors you're bound to find what you want at a price that works.
Kim. Looks like Shirley and you had a fun day! I love all your new treasures.
I want one (or two) of those $48.00 demijohns!
You saw some really neat things.
You didn't get any roe deer antlers?????????? When I saw them and the demi johns I was wishing I had sent tou money to get me some things!!!!:):) What a fabulous fair! I saw so many things I wanted Isn't Shirley the sweetest??? XO, Pinky
Wish I could have joined you gals! Great scores too - love those grain sacks and demijohns!
Kelly
wow, you guys, looks like an amazing show. you would have had to drag me outta there!
Looks like a fun time. Great finds, Kim. I can't wait to see where you place them.
I'd be broke if I had gone. There were some amazing finds there! Looks like you got some good ones.
Oh my gosh. I think I might have fainted at the sight of that grain sack tent. Ah-mazing. Thank you so much for the pics. I felt almost like I was there!
I had to go back to the first post to see it all...oh my...this sale looks like fabulous fun! Makes me want to go on a vacation to attend!
Judy, I never heard how much that was. Sorry.
Kim,
This looks like a fabulous adventure! I love all of your finds and I love some of the things you did not get.
In the thick of the storm, the rain and wind are terrible. 65 mPH guests as I type this. I hope the house and the trees and we survive.
Have a great week, looking forward to lots more photos.

Just got home from my amazing weekend adventure with you....A 6 hour drive to Myrtle Beach then a 3 1/2 drive home from there...9 1/2 hours in the car but worth every minute!!....Miss you and BAILEY!!...you are lucky that I did not have enough room in my "suitcase" to stow her in...!!...
Can't wait too see that beautiful "item" in the room!
It looks like so much fun! I love the grain sacks, galvanized pails, painted pails and dough bowls. Wish I lived closer to go someday!
Have a great day.
Pam
Boy Kim that was some day you ladies all had. I have never seen so many things in one place. Your new piece looks awesome from the peek. btw, you are looking fantastic Miss Skinny!
Looks like a GRAND place to visit and shop!! So glad you were able to enjoy! blessings ~ tanna

Too funny Kim. The scale was so cute and I turned my head to check the price and thought OH MY. I loved that sea of silver and pewter though. Yum! Heaven for me :) You got some great finds. Love the new piece. I saw the peek on fb and it's fabulous!!
All I can say is wow!! I am on the hunt for a great doughbowls. I wish I could have snag one of those!
I saw so many items I would love to buy! Those doughbowls were amazing! hugs, Linda
Lots of things to love and take home.
Incredible. I can't wait until I'm living in Atlanta next year so I can go. stay warm.
Hugs,
Laura
Great buys, Kim. Love the white pitcher and sugar bowl. I had heard the prices could be a bit much at the Country Living Fair when I was considering going here in Ohio in September. Those trailers look like a lot of fun. We've got the same weather here, I don't mind the cooler air, but was hoping for some sun.
I wanted to go so bad but was just too tired from the shelter install! Looks like you scored some good stuff!!
It's probable that someone would've been injured, likely me, as I pushed, prodded, jumped and tripped my way to that pile of dough bowls that even now is still taking my breath away!
I've been hunting one of those for ages, and $98 no matter the size is about to send me over the edge!!! I must back away from the computer now, as the jealousy towards anyone who got to actually pick through that pile is really unchristian of me... ugh!!

Just looking was like being in grain sack heaven. You're my kind of girls to go hit a antique mall after spending the whole day at the event shopping!
Wow looks like fun, what a perfect fall day, I just got home to heavy rain...we had such good weather back east..so now all good things must come to an end. Loved the picture of you!
The amount of stock each vendor had of the same item was amazing. Sometimes I can go places and see one or none of some of those things and they had 25 or more. And that scale, cute for sure and that price, wow.
Bliss
Thanks for letting those of us who couldn't attend get a peak of the party!
Oh my goodness, that looks amazing! Okay, you have me sold, I'm definitely planning on it next year. And I'd better start saving now! ;-)
What a blast! I LOVE these sorts of events! Love the grain sacks!!
WOW!
What a fun experience! Love that quilted star pillow.........Sarah
Wow--that white baroque-styled sofa is inCREDible!
Catherine
Looks like paradise with all that stuff! I love those sleds!
Kim, did you get any roe antlers???? were they priced well?
Does the grain sack dealer from Austria have an estsy shop??!!! I bought some stuff a few months ago from an etsy seller from Austria who has the most fantastic grain sacks and antique hemp. Oh how I'd love to get my hands on some of the stuff in your photos! Should have had you buying for me and ship it to me!!
Kim, looks like it was fabulous! Wish I could of gone. The prices were good to.
OK - that does it! Shirley better pick me up on her way down there next year! I'm so glad that y'all had a good time.
That scale is wonderful, but not a wonderful price. I love all the linens and grain sacks. I read about the show on several blogs. It looks like a lot of fun.
Really? All I can say is WOW! The German sleds are to-die-for!
