sorry for the lack of updates. it has been a crazy couple of weeks. last sunday, july 6th, was my birthday and i had a lovely little celebration with good friends. below is the bike kevin got me. i can’t wait to ride it!
happy fourth of july! i hope everyone is enjoying their freedom with friends and family. here are a few of my favorite holiday decorations from martha stewart. she includes how-tos for each craft that give your backyard barbecue an little extra something.
(sorry for the lack of up dates this week it has been a crazy week to say the least, i’ll be back to blogging regularly next week).
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.
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).
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:
the opening reception to the 2008 spring graduating artists show at fsu was great. we had nearly one thousand people visit the evening of the opening. for those of you who were not able to see my show in person, you can view it on my flickr.
this was our poster for the show. think you’ve seen it before? learn about the art historical reference here.
We are going to the Brooklyn, NY 2008 Renegade Craft Fair! This years craft craziness will take place on June 14th + 15th at the McCarren Park Pool. You can go here for more info. If you will be in the area, please stop by and say hello!
In just a few weeks, I will be graduating from Florida State University with a BFA in graphic design. The opening reception for my “thesis” show is this Friday, April 4th. If you will be in Tallahassee this weekend, please stop by. The reception is from 6pm - 9 pm at the FSU Museum of Fine Arts. If you can’t make it to the opening, the show will be up through the 25th. The announcement gives you a glimpse of what my work consists of… collage and screen printing on wood panels. And yes, there will be some fabric too.
