I did sign up for 5 lectures. I heard Kathy Staples, Linda Eaton and Lynn Tinley lecture on different topics. The lectures were wonderful, I don't think that I could pick a favorite.
There were wonderful antique dealers too.
Then for lunch on Saturday....
On Saturday after the event Susan and I went to our friends house before going to dinner. These 3 samplers are from the same Berks County, PA family. Can you see similar elements? The one on the left I spotted on eBay last year. I am so glad that my friend was able to add it to her collection.
This friend gifted me with a small stitched chicken(inside joke having to do with the Mary Chicken Sampler in the collection of Williamsburg).
I hope to see some of you at this show next year.
Thanks for traveling with me!

Wow. WOW!
What a wonderful show. The samplers and other objects...amazing. And to get to see them in person! Wow!
You showed AMAZING restraint. I would not have been able to resist buying something, probably a LOT of somethings. I love Shaker designs.
How was the Shoo-fly pie. Looks like maybe you had the wet bottom kind.
This show looks like it was amazing. I would have been walking around drooling over all those wonderful samplers. Thanks for the pictures. Hope the AC isn't too big an expense - I hate spending money on such frivolous things as heating and cooling - LOL - no I really like being comfortable at home but it isn't as much fun as spending money on stitching stuff.
Oh Chris you must be having so much fun , hugs.
Wow
So much fun x
The Samplers and stitched pieces are all beautiful.
Food looks good too! lol
Thanks for sharing the pics.

Beautiful Samplers, sounds like you had a wonderful time, it is always a pleasure to see Samplers from oters in person, they look so much different then pictures on the web.
Food looks yummy.
Your little gift is adorable.

Looks like it was an amazing show and lots of fun! I will have to try for next year.
Eye candy overload! It must have been delightful looking at all the displays! So glad you had a great time.
So glad you had a good time Chris! I must admit that those pizzas caught my eye : )
Looks wonderful! Too bad you couldn't take the Margriet Hogue class. Or buy anything. But the AC system is worth it, right?
What a lovely time.
Looks like so much fun!

Oh my goodness, what good stuff! What temptations too. Thanks for sharing with us.
So glad someone took pictures -- I had my camera and totally forgot to use it! This is my second year attending the Penn Dry Goods Market and this year did not disappoint. Loved all of the lectures I attended. The vendors were great but sure had some pricey goods. I did succomb to one small sampler. Barbara
That looks like a wonderful event , so many lovely things!! The food looks good too! Your friend has some very pretty samplers.
Food, friends, stitching, and travel--who could ask for more? Great recap, Chris--glad you had such fun!
