Me, Jag, Robin and Greg went to the Festival for the Eno yesterday. It was unusually cool for an Eno weekend; we’ve come to expect the onset of heat prostration within an hour of getting there, but it was really pleasant, with reasonable humidity and a nice breeze. Clearly this is a sign of the End Times. As usual, I ran into people I know and haven’t seen in a while; everyone seems to pop out of the woodwork for Eno.

I didn’t take many pictures at the festival, since I generally had my hands full of food or lemonade or hauling my loot. There was a cool scrap-metal beast we weren’t able to identify.

We were all strangely fascinated by the cloggers.

Me and Jag bought a lot of pottery. We’ve been wanting to slowly replace most of our coffee mugs with mismatched pottery ones, and we found a bunch of nice ones, including some goblets. The blue “boob and butt” mug matches a bigger brown one I bought last year which will now be repurposed as a beer mug, since it was kinda big for a tea/coffee mug.

I got some really pretty shell earrings, and 2 pottery pendants that I plan to make into necklaces the next time I drag out my beading supplies.

We bought this great planter from Roger of Reinbarnation, a friend of Jag’s. Aside from being very pretty, it’s made of reclaimed barn wood.

Yay for reclaimed barn wood.

I was unable to resist this giant metal flower. No transplant shock here! I’m hoping to add to the collection over the years.

We also bought this year’s Eno t-shirts, and I got a couple bars of soap.

Robin and Greg stopped by afterwards to see the house, and then me and Jag went to visit Steph so Jag could get briefed on taking care of her kitty next week. We grilled some steaks for dinner, and for dessert, we had some of the most awesomely decorated cupcakes ever (from Harris Teeter, they have some really creative people in their bakery). It was a really good day.
