Piccolo Spoleto Outdoor Art Show - Day 16 - Saturday, June 12, 2010

Last day for most of us - very hot and sticky without a breeze! But people were out, about and moving - the Farmers Market was in full swing - Shuler's peaches from the upstate, fresh lowcountry corn, okra and squash - both Carol Gardner and I did our grocery shopping this morning. We were sitting with the fan on full blast and the most wonderful hat came by! 

Naomi Doddington, vintage hat and dog!

 We had a great chat with Naomi, who is an artist and who works with Bottles n Brushes in Mt. Pleasant.  I told her about my great vintage hat from the flea market in Paris that I wore to the Anglican Church and then on to the Louvre:

Le Chapeau Parisienne

It was so hot today that it was difficult not to fall asleep if you were under your umbrella with your fan full blast in your face although perhaps we were simply resting and reserving our strength for 5:00 pm when the booth breakdown began. Much easier than set-up but by the 16th day in this heat, the artists just want to get through this as soon as possible and home to collapse in the air conditioning.

Time to go home.
