Each January, The Good Earth Home and Garden & Living Show comes to town. The over-arching concept is sustainabilty. There are architects, and home designers, and landscapers. There are urban farmers and cook-book authors - something for everyone.
There was local honey.
Fragrant Oriental lilies.
Roosters, chickens, coops, and eggs!
Seeds to turn a gardener's thoughts to Spring.
Greenhouses! Wow!
Floral cupcakes.
Baskets from Ghana. These would be great Market baskets.
Art - The bat is reading a book, "The Sun Also Rises"!
Gardening books.
And the darling of the show - alpacas.
If one did not come away with an idea or two...well...

that rooster looks a little cross! I'm not a big fan of alpacas. I've spent way too much time around cats which has trained me that when ears are back - trouble is brewing, and alpacas tend to do that a lot with their ears, so I always think they're about to attack me haha.
I really like those baskets, and I have dreams in my head about how they'd be used around here. and then I wake up and realize that the cats would just make beds out of them!
Now that's my kind of show, lol
Awesome photo's
Thanks for sharing
It does look like a wonderful place for inspiration. We have the Flower Show in Philadelphia and if you don't mind braving the incredible crowds, it is also a wonderful place for ideas. :)
Love the hairdos on the alpacas.
That was one fantastic Greenhouse! I have one of those baskets, and I use it quite a bit in picking veggies from the garden!
What fun! I picture filling a basket with WIPs or a current project to tote around, and wonder if we could make a pin cushion to look like the floral cupcakes! At least I think the alpacas are adorable without turning them into a stitching project. lol.
What fun, so much to see. Thank you for sharing.
My son keeps bees and his honey is scrumptious.
ooooooo now I wouldn't have minded a wee stroll around this show ... loved the green house ... cupcake flowers were sweet ... loved the bat ;) and the alpacas seem to be saying hello to every one :) love mouse xxxx
Ooooo, honey! The hubby loves to collect honey from wherever we go. I have a cupboard full of it. Nom nom nom.
