Strawberry Festival

Last weekend we stopped by the Strawberry Festival in South Berwick, Maine with my mother.

We took a tour of Sarah Orne Jewett's house, a National Historic Landmark and home to the writer for much of her life.

Her work provides a glimpse of life in Maine's countryside and seacoast in the early 1800s.

We walked around downtown, peeking in the shops and chatting with people.

We arrived at the festival a couple hours before closing, but there were still a lot of craftsmen out with their wares. We saw a lot of beautiful items made with natural materials.

The girls picked out a polished rock sculpture.

The girls made some sand art at one of the booths.

All done....

When we went to have the "famous" strawberry shortcakes they were all gone! We should have gotten there earlier I guess.

Instead, we walked down to Dunkin Donuts and got some snacks. Then we walked sat near an outdoor concert and enjoyed the music as we ate.
