Baltimore Museum of Art!

Guess who's work is pictured on the FRONT page of the of the Baltimore Museum of Art's website?!!!!

Holy smokes!  I might just pee my pants!  No, I won't, but I am doing the woot-woot dance with Ellie right now!  I dropped off a collection of work there last week for a special holiday season event they are sponsoring, where artists are asked to create a series of work inspired by a piece the Musuem's collection.  I chose to focus on their cyanotypes (click on this link to what cyanotypes are!) and was floored when I went to the website and saw my piece!  AND the buyer for the museum already called to let me know they sold a piece and asked me to bring more work in! Oh happy day!

It's a Beautiful Day

Spent a lovely day in Ardmore at the Clover Market on Sunday.  One of the toughest parts of vending at all these great markets, is that I rarely get time to shop them.  

 Luckily my sweet hubby came and spent the day with me, and I got a chance to slip away a few times to see some of the other vendors.  I grabbed a really fun locket from Charms City Crafts- it's gigantic!  I'm talking Flavor-Flav gigantic!  It has a blank face and I'm trying to come up with a Yummy design to decorate the face!  I'll keep you updated on how it turns out!

An Official Bummer

It's hard to say goodbye.  It's such a shame too.

I really loved the Fenton Street Market... its coordinators, its vendors and its many wonderful volunteers and sweet customers.  I want to thank Hannah and Debbie and their terrific crew, for doing such a great job growing and developing this market these past few years.  It's a shame that bureaucracy and red tape has to step in and ruin a perfectly good thing.  Personally, I gained so much from being a part of this endeavor and feel lucky to have taken part. It was here that I was able to start, grow and develop my own small business.  For a small vendor fee, I got to test market my latest designs, sell my work, grow my customer base, network with shops, meet many friends, and was inspired each time I vended by the sense of community that this market produced.  Again, many thanks to you all!
