to celebrate Pauline's birthday - Happy Birthday Pauline!- we went to The Melting Pot and celebrated with fondue.

I had never eaten a fondue dinner before and it was amazing. Not only the food but the entire experience. We laughed and did a lot of dipping...

...Thank you Melting Pot for making our tummies happy! and to Pauline for giving us a reason to celebrate!

long over due...

Dustbowl. This is post is long overdue but for the longest time i couldn't find the cord to upload this pics but it is found so here we are.

The whole day was absolutely amazing - from waking up at 5:30 in the morning to chasing down cars half asleep that were moving street barricades. Thank you to everyone who helped, who gave their time in setting-up, playing music, selling beautiful things and tearing-down.

Dustbowl was truly an experience I will never forget. I learned a lot. Like sleep more than 11 hours in a 72 hour time period, this will allow you to enjoy life more. Cherish your friends and family, they were instrumental in making Dustbowl a reality. Work hard, the pay off is worth it. Don't stress (too much), it will work out in the end.

The entire day was full of wonderful people browsing booths, making purchases, looking at art, meeting new people, listening to music and having fun. yay. can't wait until the next one!



Margaret & Angela - makers of beautiful things. mini paintings, children's alphabet blocks, amazing prints...



Jacob & Clinton - Jacob was one of the musical stars of dustbowl. Clinton, photographer of heaven, actually shared a booth with his friend Adam the painter.



Nathan Price - awesome artist. knows how to use a paint brush.



Sethy & Tim (not pictured). creators of crazy cool screen prints. if you need anything graphics they're your guys.



Katie - collaborator in making Dustbowl real. makes amazing dresses, skirts, headbands, belts and does beautiful floral design. about to open her very own store: Birdie, flower shop, sustainable housewares and clothing. Make sure and watch for it opening on Campus Corner at the end of October.



Reese - collaborator of Dustbowl, creator of Tallgrass, owner of The Wild Hare. awesome guy. (Happy Birthday Reesy!!) makes beautiful things. has turned the beadery into a vision. go visit him and make something cool!



Last but not least - Pistachio. My very own little booth full of lovely jewelry, headbands, clutches, vintage finds (thanks to jolove!) and we can't forget the pi"stach"ios and cool chalk boards.
