Scenes from the Country Living Fair

June 08, 2013 / BY Okio B Designs
After two days of rain, the sun came out and we headed on out to the Country Living magazine fair in Rhinebeck, NY. This big guy greets you as you head in.

This vintage kitchen storage piece is just too cool.  I would love to keep it but I don't have room in the kitchen so it's in my Etsy shop. ...
