Grained boxes and fraktur by Kristin Helberg
If you have never attended the Waterford Festival in Waterford Virginia, you are in for a wonderful surprize. This year the Festival is celebrating the 69th year. The entire town of Waterford is a historic landmark village and for the three days of the crafts exhibit and home tour on October 5,6 and 7th, the townspeople park all their cars out of the village and it is open to foot traffic only.
The 155 artisans who are selling their 18th and 19th century wares will be demonstrating their artform in period costume, while music and food vendors add to the ambience.
Come and visit my booth in the old Schoohouse builidng on the hill and learn something about Early American Vinegar Graining. The festival is from 10 to 5 each day and there is an entrance fee. www.waterfordfoundation.org
