What a delight. Just back from several days at The Country Living Fair in Rhinebeck New York with my friend Michelle Delgatto Meese from Huston Texas. Her great store WonderFaux Home can be found here.

We spent some significant time at both the fair and several stops at local antique malls and thrift stores. The beautiful antiques ended up being an inspiration, not purchases, but the market and the thrift store had some lovely finds.

Some were for our home, Maine Country Home, and others could become Efex Flexible Molds.

We found a bit of everything, ceramic pots topped with gold were early finds.

Then this lovely ceramic box. The roses are stunning but were most likely made with a disappearing wax mold, so I am not sure I can copy them. But…. I will try.

The next box has the beautiful dainty carvings on top.

A set of antique plaster molds that Michelle found are stunning and a wonderfully carved pediment.

As the week at the fair went on, we met up with some of our favorite friends and made new ones. More later on our progress.
