About Amherst County, VA

Amherst, Virginia is a quaint little town in Amherst County, Virginia and there are several businesses I frequent on a regular basis. One of my favorites is Vintage on Main with interesting items for sale that you don't want to go more than a week between visits. They held their Christmas Open House today and I enjoyed some wonderful appetizers, found some new treasures and got into the Christmas Spirit. I love their creative displays (above is a swag of torn lace on a string of christmas lights!), collection of vintage clothing, hats & jewelry.

There are several rooms full of painted furniture, books and Christmas decorations.

Virginia Is For Lovers

Viginia is for Lovers of Wine

Virginia is for Lovers of Garlic... wait, really?

Yep, that is right! Virgina is for Lovers, lovers of Wine and Garlic too! And you can go to one great festival to get Virgina made wine and garlic!

Each year, Rebec hosts the Virginia Wine and Garlic Festival in Amherst County VA. Its a two day event, with five stages of live music, artisans and craftsmen, wine tastings, and a separate kids area!

There will be several wineries offering tastings and wine for sale. You also can buy food laden with garlic! A wide variety of food is offered but almost all of it has a garlic theme.

This year is the 20th anniversary!

The festival is Oct 8, 9, 2011

Today most of my client calls have been discussing the current rain in Charlottesville and not real estate.

We are getting quite a storm and I do not know if this photo really shows how much rain we are getting.

My pool is overflowing and my dog is hiding in the house (she loves to stay outside).

I actually had to cancel a showing today…

Be safe out there as I heard we have a Flood Watch in place
