    spoons

    If you happen to be going to Francisco’s Farm Arts Festival this weekend, drop by booth 156 and you can see how these guys look when they’ve been triple-steamed and sanded.

    These spoons are my husband’s work, and he’s been perfecting it since 1981, when he was first juried in to the Kentucky Guild of Artists and Craftsmen.

    The Arts Festival runs Saturday and Sunday, June 27 & 28, on the Midway College Campus at Midway, Kentucky. AmericanStyle Magazine has named Francisco’s Farm as one of the top ten arts fairs in the U.S. for three years running. This year they have over 150 artists from 17 states — not to mention food and music.

    You can download a festival program at this link.
