Doo-Nanny 2011 and Backroad Impressions

Free-range sustainable fashion by Alabama Chanin

You can read my report from driving the back roads of the rural South and the Doo-Nanny 2011 in my article, 'A Love For One's Thread and the Doo-Nanny' on EcoSalon. Thank you friends, from New Orleans to New York City, for taking me into your hospitable folds this past weekend. You showed me a deeper side of the American spirit.

I just arrived back in the States late last night with a stretch of time before my three boys also return from Europe. Seems a bit crazy, but I will be off tomorrow to travel to New Orleans to pick up our sweet whippet Finn who spent the winter with friends and their new puppy, Bela.

I am hoping to make a stop in Seale, Alabama, as I drive north on Sunday to visit the final day of this weekend's Doo-Nanny. Cannot make any promises, as I might just want to curl up slow Southern style and take a deep nap for a week. Stay tuned for more coverage and possible photos from my winding backroad travels. Rural America, take me into your folds.
