Town Fair at Town Center
I am absolutely ecstatic to announce the Town Fair at Town Center, a handmade and fair trade marketplace that will be happening every month from April to September in Town Center, Virginia Beach. My friend and co-worker Alli and I have been working on this project for almost two months now and we're finally able to call for artists!
It's going to be a fun, relaxing and handmade way to spend a Saturday afternoon. You can find more information here and also download an application if you're interested. Even if you're not applying, come out and see yours truly - I'll be there every month!

Monday Musebles
I drove a lot this weekend. 172.6 miles to be exact. And where did I
go? No where in particular and specifically, everywhere. Saturday morning
we attended the Better Block
community walk, which was pretty much like the walk-about the Norfolk
Arts District did a few weeks back....the turnout was great! A few of
the Kitsch
girls were there and we spoke briefly about working together for a
business popup for the weekend of April 12th - which is AWESOME! We're
getting the details worked out, so there isn't too much to report just
yet. It did make the rest of my weekend very busy with looking for display pieces and extra arts and crafts supplies. I thought I'd share
some of my finds and potential purchases here!
 |
| Vintage cardboard cutting mat. Thinking I could use it for bolts to wrap fabric around. |
 |
| New antique shop on Granby Street I visited for the first time. VERY reasonable prices and the merch is in pretty good shape. |
 |
| The Store for Stores in Norfolk, a place everyone should go at least once! These card and paper racks ranged from $40 to $100. |
 |
| More from The Store for Stores. The bin shelf is only $67 and comes with the bins! Now only if I had buttons to fill all those bins... I like the idea of the picnic table shelving unit, it would take up a lot of space! |
 |
| At Urban Castaways in Ghent. I'd love to hang fabric from vintage pants hangers from the metal birdbath on the left. |
 |
| A vintage wooden drying rack...another way to display fabric or paper. Hoping I can get someone (i.e. Barney) to make this for me! |
 |
| Crafting time at Grow Interactive |
I ended the weekend at the 7 Cities Crafters meeting, which is held monthly at Grow Interactive on Granby Street. I had two firsts here: first time attending a meeting and first time at Grow. Whoa, totally love both! And totally want to have an office space like this one day!

Nachos, anyone?
Is it good or bad this set reminds me of high school basketball games back in Ohio? Either way, I can say that was my inspiration to the newest Fairview Place felt creation.
Nachos and Cheese, with jalapeno slices. Set includes 13 chips (four with cheese and peppers) and a block of cheese. Looks good enough to eat, right? Chips are bendable so you can stack and pack your nachos anyway you'd like. Check out the listing, available now over at the shop!
