for those of you in and around the orlando area, please come out to the sanford art + craft market. it is located in downtown sanford, of e 1st st. and s magnolia ave, in magnolia sqaure. i will be there with a table as well as a variety of vendors all selling handmade things. it runs from 10:30ish - 3:00 pm today and the last sunday of every month.
kevin and i went on a last minute trip to st. augustine this weekend. we had a great time relaxing and hanging out at the beach. he’s a photo while we were riding a scooter around town.
Orlando designer Stacy Schrack of Grow By Love was kind enough to feature me in her great blog. Thanks Stacy!
the kit collection by my organizer favorites, russell + hazel, is now available at office max. and it gets better! all kit items are 50% this week. so stop by your local office max and pick up some cute stationary for the office. above are a few of my favorite kit items.
you can now find sarah hearts items at etoile boutique. etoile specializes in super cute handmade things (by locals) and great vintage finds. they are located just off robinson st. and bumby. if you are shopping for a gift (or yourself) i’m sure etoile will have something great. please stop by and support local artists. (you can also add them as your myspace friend and get updates that way).
the grocery tote is now also available in chocolate brown. get it here.
you may have seen this already, but i’m loving it so much i must post this. it’s a laser cut scarf by little factory featuring the lovely helvetica and it comes in uppercase, lowercase, and numbers. i think i’m going to have to add the creme lowercase one to my birthday wishlist… even if it’s 90 degrees outside.
for those of you who are graphic designers or photographers, you know how important first impressions can be - especially at interviews. pina zangaro has sleek and stunning storage solutions for artwork (the alliteration was not intended). after much contemplation, i purchased the tera.
thanks to everyone that stopped by my booth at the brooklyn renegade craft fair. we had a great time making many new friends. it was great to meet some of my favorite crafters and see their goods in person. and for those of you who frequent emptees, seibei was there with a cool booth (including an astro-turf mat).
kevin and i arrived in maryland on friday afternoon running on only one hour of sleep and a few short, uncomfortable naps on the airplane. we then ran a few errands to pick up a few last minute things and then we were on i-95 north on our way to rob and maggie’s house in connecticut. we arrived around 1:30 am due to the construction in every lane on the george washington bridge (if you live in the area, or need to go east bound on the bridge i don’t recommend it)!
saturday we arrived at the mccarren park pool around 9 am and got all set up around 11. the fair was slow at first, as people were still asleep. traffic picked up as the afternoon passed. unfortunately everyone had to call it an early day around 4 pm when a major thunderstorm came upon the pool. we had a yummy dinner with the dobi’s and some friends at a thai restaurant near their home in ct.
sunday was a better day. more people were out and about earlier and we did pretty well. the grocery tote and the espresso pocket bag were the most popular items the entire weekend. we packed up everything that night and headed back down to baltimore. monday we slept in and recovered a bit from the busy weekend. we had a messy maryland dinner of fresh crabs before we caught a late flight home.
here a few photos from saturday:
