too cool for school….
I did not know Amish kids smoked…saw this pair at Devon. Or maybe they were Mennonite?

One of the best things about Devon are all the cute kids – some riding, some just in awe of the horse show, the rides….the Devon Fudge and lemon sticks….

It was fun to be there on the first day. Scored a killer hat from a lady from Northeast Harbor Maine who had surprisingly reasonable prices (there was one little store peddling significantly more expensive hats). She has a store called “The Romantic Room”….I showed restraint, only bought one…had a Devon burger, pink lemonade, watched horses and civilized life go by.
In short, it was a fabulous day.
There were also a plethora of plein air painters out and about.
I haven’t been a daytimer at Devon in 20 years. Did see one gal from my class in high school. It pained me that it pained her to say hello. (Not really, I found it amusing that she was as I remembered….just older.)
But seriously, Devon Horse Show was really nice today. (And I made it to my car just before the heavens opened up.)
Enjoy the photos! Find more HERE.

O.k. not that it has been a snowy winter or anything. Because it hasn’t and we all know this weather trend could mean a hot, hot summer and water restrictions. But spring means horse show season is upon us and laste evening I was a guest at a little spring kick off event for The Devon Horse show at Ardmore Farmers Market.
On Thursday, March 21, 2012 the
Ladies’ Day Committee of The Devon Horse Show and Country Fair, guests and supporters gathered at the Ardmore Farmer’s Market in Ardmore for a pre-Devon Horse Show cocktail party. Ladies wearing their best hats exchanged news about the upcoming show, and of course, the Ladies’ Day Hat Competition and Champagne Tea set for Wednesday, May 30. The Devon Horse Show will run from May 24 through June 3, 2012.
Hats off to Spring was really fun! But then again, my friend Jen McGowen never does

My friend Barb and myself had our photo taken by Susan Scovill. We were garbed a little more traditionally, so we felt like we were photographed with the Spice Girls LOL. Looks like I am going to need another hat for the Ladies Day Hat Competition and Champagne Tea. I know I am not that much of a hat person to wander about with birds on my head, but it’s a good excuse for a fun afternoon so I will have to see what kind of acceptable chapeau I can come up with.
