We celebrated the warm sunny weekend by attending the Bellevue Art Fair in downtown Bellevue last Saturday. This is the premier art fair in the state of Washington, and attendance this year exceeded all previous years. There were hundreds of artists displaying their works, and we spent many hours talking to artists and sculptors and rug weavers and entertainers. It's always inspiring to be around so many creative people.
After a quick lunch in the air-conditioned mall, we found a photographer who travels extensively in Europe and who has an impressive collection of lovely prints that appealed to both of us. We settled on a photo taken in Provence of a bistro table with a beautiful yellow and blue tablecloth--so evocative of life in France. It was just what I was looking for!
It now has pride of place on my kitchen counter, right next to my coffeemaker and my clay jar of Starbucks whole coffee beans. It looks perfect with my French Country furnishings in the house, and it will bring back memories of this year's art fair for both of us.
