over the past few months i have greatly enjoyed seeing my friend juliet’s blog grow and grow. she happens to be the woman behind this necklace. each piece of jewelry is made from a salvaged plate. -now that’s green!

ok, i know spring hasn’t even taken a peek at us yet, but i can’t help to think about summer already! one of my favorite things about summer is craft shows.

renegade craft fair just posted their application for the june 16 + 17 show at the mccarren park pool.
also, art star philly holds an annual bazaar in the beginning of june.
oh and a little birdie might have told me about a brand new craft in event in BALTIMORE this summer- date tba. i can tell you that the folks behind this new event call themselves the charm city craft mafia. and yes! i am a proud member. we are brand new, so please bear with us- a fancy schmancy website, applications and news are in our near future!

spring is just around the corner, but that doesn’t mean you have to put your knitting away! one of my favorite knitting sites, knitty, offers beautiful free patterns for all levels of knitters. wouldn’t this little guy make a wonderful friend for someone you know?
