Home Sweet Home Show

The 10th Annual Home Sweet Home Show was held at the Ashe County High School.  It was advertised as the largest one day home show in North Carolina.  Not expecting much, I was pleasantly surprised at the amount of vendors and the quality of the merchandise being shown.  Almost every vendor offered a free giveaway, such as a pen or candy, and a chance to win a prize or service.

  

  

Not only were there home improvement booths, but shoes, perfume, tupperware, plants and massages.  I made the mistake of stopping at the Cutco knife display.  I have been using a Cutco knife to chop up my veggies for years, so I knew they were quality items.  I feel lucky to have gotten away with spending less than $200.00 for two knives and a garlic press.

My favorite booths at the show were the kitchen vendors offering granite countertops.  They had the most unusual granite tops in greens and pinks.  One was offering a textured granite that felt similar to the texture of an orange.

I had a great time and will certainly go next year, even though I did not win any prizes.  I will be sure to  scurry by the fellow with the knives.
