mount airy

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.
