Happy Wednesday, everyone! I am busily preparing for the 2012 Missouri Wine Festival, which is this Saturday, July 21 at one of my favorite places, The Elms Hotel in Excelsior Springs, Missouri. I wanted to share a bit about it with you, so if you are inclined to make this quest with me, you'll have time to plan.

I really don't want to just repeat the advertising here in the TWCQ blog, so I thought a third hand account of last year's festivities would be a great option. Here is a link to The Confounded Cook blog with a great review of the 2011 fest. I will boast that I, personally, got a plug in this blog, along with my buddy Lee from Envisage Vintage Jewelry, about half way through. I believe the word is lovely. . . ahhhh, thanks, Confounded Cook! Plus, I really only have a limited view of the day, from behind the Wenwood booth, and I want you to know all about it. So, check all the links above for lots of info!

Below are a few more photos for your enjoyment. I'll have an update with more photos of this year's festival next week. I'm so looking forward to this weekend! I'm off to start preparing for this quest, so I'll wish you all a great week!

Happy Trills,

Laura

The Historic Elms Hotel - I can't wait to see the new multi-million dollar renovations that were completed just this spring!

 

Remember this from my Antiquing, Wine Quest Style blog? I get to use it this weekend. Yay!!!!!!! I'm so easily pleased. . .
