if you don't cry you just don't feel it deep enough
oh, hello there! sorry i've been falling behind on my updating - i have many things to share with you, but for now a quick announcement:
May 5th teresa & i will be at the RISD Alumni Sale. it's probably your only chance to come see us for a while because we have decided to not apply for the Renegade Craft Fair in Brooklyn this year. the first year it was miserably hot & dusty & there was a softball game going on (people & dogs actually got hit with foul balls!) then the second year the weather was better & we were thankfully under the trees, but this time they've moved it to a giant cement pool. no shade. anywhere. i hear it's a great place to have outdoor concerts at night... despite the possibility of making money, i'm not risking another weekend of dehydration & heat exaustion. i've done enough of these outdoor sales to know that they can be a hell of a lot more fun than that! speaking of which, we applied to Somerville's ArtBeat Festival in July. we did it last year with a whole mess of crafty newengland ladies & it was a great show. keep your fingers crossed we get it...
and some sad news: tara closed Plain Mabel! i'm sorry, i meant to tell you earlier so you could make some last-minute purchases, but maybe i didn't want to believe it was really happening... i'm so very happy i got to meet tara & sell things with her over the past few years. out of everyone i've dealt with, tara has been the most amazing, she's always been prompt & organized (which i am not) so it was a dream to do business with her. although i'm sad the website is over, i understand tara's reasons & am thankful for the real-life friend i got out of it. so thanks, tara, you're awesome!
