Taos Wool Festival

I actually got to take a four day vacation and attend the Taos Wool Festival the first weekend in October. This is an annual outdoor event in Kit Carson park in Taos, NM. My friend Shirley and I left around 6:30am on a Friday morning and arrived in Santa Fe around 2:30pm where we had a bite to eat, visited the Georgia O'Keeffe Museum and 3 or 4 galleries in the plaza area before heading up to Taos. It's a beautiful drive through the mountains between Santa Fe and Taos. Saturday was a gorgeous day and we spent all morning walking through the tents at the Wool Festival fondling all kinds of wool products and spending money! I bought a beautiful felted purse, a wool batt, a couple of bumps, various wool rovings, curls and Lincoln Locks to name a few items. Shirley and I had a great time and both came home very inspired by all the art we had seen in the numerous galleries. We are looking forward to a return trip next year only we need a whole week! I'll post some pictures from the trip tomorrow.
