Folk Festival Found

Every year, I take a little trip out to the Philadelphia Folk Festival with my bestie and her fam. We sleep in a tent, listen to hippie music by a campfire and wake up early to hit up Pennsylvania garage sales the next morning. Sometimes the music is good, but the antiquing is always great! Also, there is a huge variety of beautiful artisan made goods at the actual festival that tempt me year after year. Here are a few of my favorite finds from this year, some of which came home and some of which had to stay due to budget limitations:
