Around Town…The Wayside Inn Colonial Fair

The time has arrived in this baby journey of mine, that I find myself bigger and bigger each day.  Yet, with so much more Hannah around, there still does not seem to be quite enough to go around.  Sadly, it is this beloved space that gets pushed to the bottom of the to do list and then onto the next days, still uncompleted.  It’s a sad reality.  But a better reality than the very recent past, when the only item on the “to-do” list was to make it to the end of the day with the same number of people that we started it with.  Yup…the expectations were that low!!!  Despite my lack of presence here, I have been very present in the studio, (and the fabric store!!!), which has been unbelievably refreshing and wonderful.  There are all sorts of delicious baby goodness in the works and I am so excited to share things with you.  Taking pictures also happens to be a bolded item on the “to-do” list lately!  Soon my friends, soon!

 This weekend we explored the Wayside Inn Colonial Fair and Fife and Drum competition.  The abundance of historical events, reenactments, and celebrations are one of the things that make New England truly sparkle.  To be truthful, I really knew nothing of the history and prominence of fife and drum corps in New England, and was enchanted by the variety and entertainment provided.  

I have to say, though, my favorite image of the day was of three distinguished gentlemen, representing all that is truly Massachusetts.  The very best of historical representation, and the very best of team loyalty!  Three hats that say it all!  (The cap is a Boston Red Sox cap…of course!) What I love best about this, is that no one around was the least bit phased by the juxtaposition…welcome to historical New England!IMG_0415

Ok, I have to ask...how do you find out about these things? We live about 40 minutes away or so from Sudbury (I use to teach there) and I never knew this was going on.

I have a couple friends who are involved with the Sudbury Reenactment groups. �I heard about it from them. �Mostly I hear about things word of mouth. �Once in a while I actively look up fairs and festivals in the area. �Maybe we'll see you there next�year!!!
Cool! My husband kind of grew up in Fife and Drum Corps in CT. I've yet to take our little guy to a muster, but I know he'd love it! Great idea to bring the kids there.
Hi, my name is Ashley. I was searching around and came across your blog. I am so inspired by the things you are doing with your children. I have three boys (7,5,2) and I currently work at a montessori school and I have a plan to start my own montessori in a few years. I was just looking around for ideas and materials. Your idea for 'make it yourself' materials is genius!! The color tablets are amazing. I would have never thought of that myself. You are so creative. Thanks for all your ideas, I will continue to follow your blog.
Despite with the lack of preference is the one thing that most of them are facing. There are many things in this post that are meant to be interesting for the people that are being concern.
