Picnic holiday craft fair, 2010
Picnic holiday craft fair at the Irish Heritage Center in Portland, Maine. December 11/12, 2010. music, crafts, friends, awesomeness! It was really snowy out but the place was jam packed despite the weather. I had an awesome crew of booth neighbors (and because space was tight, we really got to bond!): Cassie Bouton and her awesome hand-printed housewares (and her beautiful and very well-behaved newborn baby), Allison of Drawn Onward, Dunja of DoonYaYa, and a very nice vintage dealer whose business card I have misplaced. Thanks, Picnic, for being awesome again!

Morris & Essex booth
August 28th. Perfect weather, amazing and beautiful day in every way. Thanks to everyone who stopped by! And special thanks to my sister Amy and to Paz, who both stopped by to help out! And to Mike, who worked all day long at the booth with me! We sold tons of stuff, had a fantastic day, and ate the best pulled pork sandwiches and iced teas from the food carts. Highlights: met and traded with fellow vendor Colleen Kinsella, who is a friend of my sister and makes really great prints; we traded some of my shirts for some of her prints! Erin Flett, who makes gorgeous pillows and prints, and who I met via Etsy – she lives just a few minutes from my parents’ house in Gorham!

And I got to meet and trade work with Jennifer Judd-McGee of Swallowfield, whose work I have admired since I stumbled across it on the internet a few years ago and thought “that’s so cool, she’s from Maine!”
Plus Diane of Ferdinand, of course, who is awesome and makes awesome stuff and helped to organize this perfect day.
There was great music all day too. And nautical fun times with Meghan, Emily and Kit at the after party. Best day. Only downside? I came down with the worst cold the next day!

June 5th and 6th we headed to Brooklyn to set up the Morris & Essex booth at the Renegade Craft Fair – it was a great time and a big success!! Thanks a million to everyone who stopped by and visited, bought stuff or said hello, and ESPECIALLY to EP and Caroline who hosted us and all our stuff at their beautiful apartment AND put in tons of work helping us set up the booth and sell things and bringing us snacks and generally making us happy! (and a special thanks also to Leslie who stopped by to feed us freshly-baked strawberry rhubarb pies, just at the very moment when I was about to die of hunger!)
