Singing Behind The Plow

Remember this post ???

After several years of dreaming, and wishing, and drooling over catalogs . . .
I did it !!!

I spent this past week at the John C. Campbell Folk School . . .
and it could not have been a better experience !

It's so hard to put into words all that I felt and experienced there. From the beauty of this mountain place . . . to the creativity and infinite talent & knowledge that surrounded me . . . and the spirit of community and camaraderie that took me in . . . it was a phenomenal week !

I was challenged and sometimes frustrated . . . encouraged and supported . . . tired and refreshed at the same time . . . inspired beyond words . . .
and had just plain FUN !!!

Take a look, and you'll see . . .

What a treasure the Folk School is . . .
and what a gift it was to spend time there !

Now back to my normal daily life . . .
where I intend to keep "singing behind the plow" !!

Wow, Melissa! Good for you! I'm so glad you got to go--I've always wanted to try it out too! Lovely photos, lovely post.

Me, too! Always wanted to- glad to see you did!
Where's this school located, exactly?
And was the knitting you focused on Yours? Plus I love all the jeweled colored skeins of yarn.

The school is in southwestern North Carolina, right near the Georgia border. And, yes, the knitting samples shown are mine !
