Labor Day at Grove Vineyards

Took me a whole week to get to posting this. It's very hard to fit five days into four and I've been exhausted. I'm spending this weekend recovering!
So last weekend I did a craft show at Grove Vineyards and Winery in Gibsonville, NC. Crafts and spending the weekend on a farm of sorts? That's my kind of business! It was a beautiful weekend!Here is some of the vines. We were invited to pick and eat what we wanted. All of us vendors decided that "Niagara" was our favorite grape. They make a wine by the same name that's as good as the fruit. It had sort of a pear and pineapple taste to it. Needless to say, a bottle came home with me and I'll be looking for a vine for my garden!

Of course, the activities including shopping the great selection of arts and crafts. And tasting wine. They also had grape stomping contests that were fun to watch!

Weatherspoon Art Museum

Last night we went to the Weatherspoon Art Museum on UNCG's campus. It's been a long while since we've stopped in. The Big Shots: Andy Warhol Polaroids exhibit is currently on display and was pretty interesting. One of the things I read was that Warhol liked to keep a camera with him in order to create a "visual diary" of his life. I wonder if he would have been a blogger?
My favorite exhibit on display right now is Arnold Mesches: The FBI Files. I'm in love with collages. These are particularly interesting because apparently Mesches was under surveillance for many, many years for his involvement in the communist party and other related activities. He finally received 760 pages of the FBI files under the Freedom of Information act, most of them with the information blacked out. He then made these into his collages. It was interesting to find that we wanted to try to read the works as much as we looked at them.
