Get Your Biscuits And Bluegrass On

 

Miss A throws her first pottery masterpiece at Shimai Pottery and Gifts during the 6th annual Biscuits & Bluegrass Fesitval last fall. Biscuits & Bluegrass is held on the grounds of the Southern mecca of country ham and biscuits, the Loveless Cafe, here in Nashville. This year’s festival is slated for October 8.


Fall means cooler temperatures in the mornings, pumpkin spice lattes, chili and football!

It also means fall festivals. Lucky for us there are tons to choose from here in Middle Tennessee. And most offer free admission, making them perfect for family outings.

Check out my latest family travel post as the Nashville Travel Mom at TravelingMom.com where I list 10 Nashville area fall festivals, perfect for family fun.

Who Says Girls Don’t Like To Get Muddy?




I thought I’d share a few pictures from our fun afternoon last Saturday spent with our friends at Shimai Pottery and Gifts at the Loveless Cafe shops. The girls loved making pottery with Ms. Becca and helping Ms. Michele. All donations went to the Mashiko Pottery Foundation and Japanese potters whose studios were destroyed in the recent earthquake.

Shimai will have another pottery wheel set up at the Biscuits and Bluegrass Festival at the Loveless this October and I am not missing it this year! Last year I was traveling but the girls just loved it. I may even have to try my hand at making pottery. I will not, however, be pickin’ any bluegrass. I will leave that to the professionals. That would be too painful for all of us, although I do a pretty good wild turkey call, if you must know.

We also saw country music Leroy Parnell at the liquor store, I mean bottle store where mommy buys wine and the girls get suckers, this week and the CFO at my company brought in Moon Pies as a special treat when we had some guests in from NYC.

Just another week in Nashville ya’ll!
