saturday our family went to mount airy.
there was a chili cook-off.
how cool, fun, random and community-building is that?
there were judges who chose the best chili...
there were all kinds of contests and booths.
you could prolly smell the chili from miles away. :)
it was on the same strip of shops as the hive, retro-metro,
deja-vu, and lots of antique shops.
i love it there- if you haven't been... go!
bekah and i went into one cute little shop and found these...
old books from the 40's or 50's.
we spent $12 and got two... :)
besides looking really cool,
one of them was uncle tom's cabin,
a classic by Harriet Beecher Stowe.
it's a really good book...
i love her vivid descriptions and lively word choices.
so they are practical and retro-cool.
:) :) :)
i'll keep mine on a good place on the shelf.
