Shaker Woods 2012 [Reprint]

 

 

I've slowly cobbled together our recent trip to Shaker Woods. Here's a memory from a decade ago to tide you over. Or just read about the 2012 festival here.

 



11 August, 2012

It's been an exciting 24 hours. We had an early appointment this morning, my haircut afterward, breakfast and then an impromptu trip to the Shaker Woods Festival.

Better Half and I have been toiling to get the house ready for Mum and Dad, who plan to stay with us. We have two rooms to go (and a bathroom to sort) before we can call the job done.



To top it off, I had to run to Maryland last night (yes, the state) for a cadet. I'm fueled on two hours of sleep at the moment.

The Shaker Woods Festival was a welcomed break. I'm too tired to go into details so I'll provide some snapshots taken while there. The high note was finding an astrolabe for the front yard. It is beautiful; handmade by Dave Anders of Colonial Wagon & Wheeler, it adorns the front bed. 

















 

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                       
Please forgive me for not captioning anything. I can't even see straight at the moment.                                     

 

 The code for this entry was sinister. I gave up on reformatting it. Copy, paste, hope for the best.

Also, Dave Anders of Colonial Wagon & Wheeler is still in business! He handcrafted our astrolabe.
