And... on to the photos!
Our festive Christmas tree with hanging giveaways!
My tote bags and basket full of original artwork!
View of my table!
Pandas galore!
Now, let's take a tour around the house...
Melissa (Poppy Raye Studio)
And her beautiful artwork!
Rose's second booth (Little Corners)
Rachel (Cherry Tree Lane)
Melissa (Melissa Loschy Designs)
(I did a lot of shopping here... can't wait for mycustom scarf and knuckle rings! Woot woot!)
What kept us munchin' all afternoon...
Cheese & crackers with a bit of red wine!I think the most valuable thing I gained from this shindig was how important it is to not be intimidated to connect with local artisans that have familiar interests as I do. While they all specialize in their specific craft and each have a very distinct style, it was funny to realize how much we did have in common.
It's hard for many of us to stick to one thing... as we all enjoy the thrill of learning something new and challenging our creative minds. It's also nice to find comradery amongst one another. While we all have an enormous amount of support from family and friends (many who came to hang out for a bit!), there's also something special about finding people that you immediately connect with upon the simple reason that you share a similar passion... a passion for handmade, making things with our hands, and sharing our love with our craft with others.
These girls have impacted my life, are an inspiration, and are people I look up to. I just saw Rose (My Friend Roze) again at the this past Sunday's Ghettogloss Silverlake Art Show, and will be seeing Rachel (Cherry Tree Lane) and Melissa (Melissa Loschy Designs) this coming Saturday at Tall Mouse's Handmade Brigade! I'm beyond excited!
Speaking of the Ghettogloss Silverlake Flea Market, I'll be updating again soon with photos from this past Sunday! Hooray for craft show season!
