Cher Shaffer from Appalachia, not only paints wonderful portraits, she also creates dolls which are sophisticated and charming. Here are three which might show up at the Brimfield Show next week in Massachusetts. If you've never attended, this is a show for the entire family. Over 6,000 dealers in farmer's fields stretching over 1 1/2 miles along Route 20 in Brimfield, MA. show up from Tuesday through Saturday, three times a year for a week of antiques, folk art, pottery, jewelry, furniture from all periods, collectibles, and stuffed chickens, I kid you not! Everything under the sun is displayed here, and many collections have been built from discoveries in these fields. One of my cousins, whose home has been featured in county living books, filled her rooms over the years with Brimfield finds. You and your kids will love this adventure. Bring water, hats, cell phones, a bag to put treasures in, and wear comfortable shoes. Sturbridge Village is 5 miles away....another must stop for the family. Let the collecting begin!

I like Cher's new dolls.
Now, these are my kind of dolls! Totally cool! Totally quirky!! Normally I'm not much for doll art..but these are keepers!!
I have always wanted to go to this but with CFDS I am lucky to get to bathroom!
There are port-a-potties in every field! You should just choose one field and give it a chance. This is something worth trying. Best of luck!
Exciting sculptural quality!
