In October we visited Idylwild, a mountain town in Southern California about an hour away from where we live. There was a wine and art festival the weekend we were there. Idylwild has an art academy so of course many artists live in the nearby cabins.The table and chairs in the photo sat outside an art gallery/boutique shop and was one of the few photos I got without a lot of people milling around and in the way of getting a clear picture.
It was so crowded that weekend, our idea of maybe buying a ticket for the wine tasting event was out of the question as the line was too long. If we had bought a ticket, we could have tasted wine along the way of visiting many of the shops and galleries as it seemed every shop was a stop off point for wine.
When we finally got on the road I was glad that it seemed we left before the intoxicated crowds traveled en mass down the curvy mountain road.
If I had a small covered patio, with vines interwoven in trellis, I would definitely want this table and chairs. It looks like it would be perfect in a secret garden.
This is the last post on this blog. I'm going to close out both my nature blog and this one, and create a new one to replace the two. I'll put a link up at my nature blog and this one for the new when I get it ready.
I have some time today as we aren't watching grandkids but the weather is so gorgeous that I think I must go out on a photo safari today, (and a good lunch).

What a pretty table and chair setting. I don't do well in crowds so probably wouldn't have liked the busy-ness. I'll be sure to check out your new blog when you post the link.
Enjoy the next photo safari,
Serena :)
I enjoyed your walks around town - you had some good ones.
And I like the patio furniture too.

I will look forward to your new blog. I love reading and seeing where you go. This furniture does look like a Secret Garden.
Pretty little chairs and table, Sandy. With the colors and style, I imagine they would suit you well. :-)
Those table and chairs are very pretty!
Sandy, I'll looking forward to the new blog but shall miss this one!
Enjoy your day and take care!
I lived in Idlywild the summer of '75. I met my husband there in the winter of '77. Good memories.
Oh I did go to this pretty little town once and bowed to go back but it hasn't happened yet. The one time I was there it was a very brief stay, dinner in a nice italian restaurant out on the patio and taking as many pictures as I could. I hear it's wonderful in the winter although very cold. I'll go back one of these days.
Thanks everyone for your comments. I never did get a new blog made. I couldn't decide on a template and then i got busy.
