On Saturday we are usually in the town of Hot Springs, NC, selling arts and crafts - we are in fact here today as well.
I like to go on walks around, and one of my favorite places is the Mountain Magnolia Inn. Please visit this place!! Whether virtually only, or in person, it is definitely worth it!
Occasionally I like to sketch the Victorian mansion when I'm there, and Saturday was no exception. It was a quick sketch with ink on notebook - doesn't compare to the original building of course! Full of gables and balconies and all sorts of great things (photo taken with cell phone, hence poor quality). Am including the original so that folks can see below:
Have a great day y'all!
