Crane Estate Art Show. What a great day!

This is either a really hilarious photo or an awful coincidence (Crane Estate. Get it?!)
Either way, I'm glad I can be in this photo with good friends.
Today was Crane Estate Art Show/Sale! I had a great time and would like to thank everyone who went, especially Kevin, Mike, Bradford and Arielle.
A special thank you to Justin and Michelle for bringing hot apple cider to the opening!

The Crane Estate is probably one of the most beautiful places I have ever seen! The fact that it's open to the public makes taking a trip up to Ipswich completely worth it. Side note,did you know 25% of each sale on artwork from today and tomorrow on will go to help preserving the land at the Estate?!
Congratulations to all the artists.

Here are some photos from today. Enjoy!
