a Foray into Fredericksburg

Sometimes, I forget how in love I am with Fredericksburg... I invited Joey to come down with me to pick up some art I had at the Griffin and we met up with Kelly (obvs) and Tara and Tara's new pet rat.

I had never been through the back of the Griffin and in the dark, it looks like The Secret Garden... or what I would imagine the Secret Garden would look like. It was disgustingly adorable and I want to live there for the rest of my life.

We took down some of my art that had been there for the month, and we put up some ceramics... I took some photos before we packed it all away though. Who KNOWS when they'll ever be hung up again, so why not. We chatted for a bit, then after everything was packed away, we hit up Capital Ale House downtown (delish).

the Charlotte Street painting was apparently made to be shown on exposed brick...

To wrap up the terribly short trip, we went back to Charlotte Street to hang with Tara and the rat, which was surprisingly adorable.

I want to be in Fredericksburg forever. :(
