they now have an amazing half-million signatures on the petition.
if everyone gets just one more person to sign, we can double that to one million!
jamie is my hero....help him change the way our children eat !!!
earth day giveaway at poppytalk handmade
too cold for me.........
the plan was to set up and sell today at the new pittsburgh flea market
in the infamous strip district
however, an early moring coffee on my deck let me
know that with 40 degree temps
and in and out showers,
i would never make it through the day
but natch..i had to go anyway
just to see what was what
well.
first noticed
they are now charging for parking in the strip
$5...a bit steep imo
not many cars in the lot
we just found a spot on the street
also..it was a bit of a walk...but......
the good news...it appears to be worth it !
some cool antique vendors..though we have a few regular good sunday antique shows around here
so hard to say how many dealers will be there on a regular basis...also...they need to lower their prices
just a bit.......this being a flea market.....not an antique show.
_______________________________________________________________________________
this guy had some really cool stuff .not sure where he's from, but i havent seen him before
"rough around the edges"...great name too.........
_____________________________________________________________________________
also saw my 'craft show buddies' Whimsical Wonders'..they sell on etsy.....find them here
______________________________________________________________________
great tea shirts from neighbor teaze
all the local neighborhoods.............show your 'burg love
_______________________________________________________________________________
some cool furniture like this.........but not much of it...
all in all.......there seemed to be a steady stream of customers......can imagine that on a nice sunny day there
could be quite a crowd........may turn in to a great place to sell of the 'off' weekends....we'll see........
simple and sweet saturday nite special
my first join up to the saturday nite special
diy anything goes
take one old window that noone wants
add some handpainted roses
add some french text
hang it in a well lit room
so crazy shadows give it some depth
if you cant paint freehand, put a picture behind it
and just trace !!
voila !
diy
shabby chic decor
for very little time and money
i made it at south side works
the i made it market this weekend was wonderful
the weather was great,
the goods were better
and the customers were best of all !!
thanks casey, april and dave,amber and ava
for stopping by
check out my ava's cool fish !!
thanks to all who came out
next weekend......
the new pittsburgh flea
check it out down in the strip
have no idea what it will be like,
but we're giving it a shot
hope to see you there...
baking goodies in the sun
getting it all together for the big
chili fest this weekend at south side works !
my tags and quotes are so much easier to make
when the sun is out
they need to 'bake' just a bit
and sunshine is the best !!
so excited to have at least one day
this week of sun
here they are 'baking' on my front walk
my neighbors really must think i'm nuts !
pile of quoteboards all ready to go !
if you're in the 'burg, stop by and do
some chili testing
never enough
i read in someone's blog lately ..
that they were out looking for easter eggs for projects...
that if you dont buy them now...in easter season..
that you wont find them later in the year ..
when you want them..
so ... anyway...
i have been looking for the past couple weeks..
i wanted the smaller ones....about an inch wide ones..
just my luck...noone had them.....
most of our stores were sold out already of easter stuff
or they had the big ones.......
but as always........the flea market didnt fail me.......haha
this lady had a table of them........
and being the hoarder junker that i am
i bought them all !!!!
16 - 2 dozen egg bags
32 dozen eggs
384 individual eggs
3 eggs to a nest
128 nests to be made
see what i mean...just never enough..........
hippity hoppity
happy bunny day
my sisters and i way way way back when...
when you got a new easter bonnet, white gloves and a coursage
for Easter sunday mass
the easter bunny also brought us cool giftage...
like these schwinn bikes !!
(i know folks..my age is showing again)
i'm so NOT a city girl
note: click on any of the pics for better look
even though i was raised a bit
closer to the city,
i have lived in the suburbs
for the past 24 year.
i'm not saying it's county here,
but you can hear the cows moo early in the morning.
tonite we hit the city streets
in a section called garfield
and attended the GA/gi festival.
the Geek Art /Green Innovators Festival.
http://gagifestival.blogspot.com/p/geek-art-green-innovators-schedule-of.html
http://gagifestival.blogspot.com/p/geek-art-green-innovators-schedule-of.html
anyway, the weather was awesome
if not actually a little on the hot side
(guess we arent having a 'spring'this year)
and we figured it sounded like a cool thing to do.
first we hit the
pittsburgh glass center
they had a great exhibit going on
"From the Earth to the Fire and Back"
everything was made of glass
(duh..hence the name 'pittsburgh glass center')
my favorite by far
nice necklace
and i did love this...it is a genuine old
window, mosaic'd and grouted
then we headed across the street to the new
glass lofts
some sort of 'eco living' structure
didnt really get it all,
but definately 'lofty'
the coolest thing i thought
was that they used garage doors to open out to
the balconies
tres cool !
they were mostly empty,
used tonite for art installations
personally,
i enjoyed the architecture much more
so that's mostly what i'm
going to show you
a little preface....
this is a really bad part of town,
some groups are working very hard
to make this street the
art district
as you can see
alot of buildings have been bought up
(no doubt, very cheaply)
and renovated
this is a tattoo parlor... nice job with the building
there were alot of creative ways people used the space
liked these awnings
very innovative
i also have a thing for old doors
i just love em
shame, some of these are
on abondoned houses
but the doors are still too cool to me
would love to have them !
some buildings were just cleaned up
painted and such
with no modern touches added
(that's the way i like them)
closed.........hmmmm...do you think so ??
side of a building
nicely painted..the building...not so much
this was neat..you have to click on the pic and read it///too hard to explain
same here.......click and read.....
this was my favorite 'artsy' thing
click on the pic and really look at it !
way coolness.......
(i think i need some new adjectives)
used to be me..
not anymore
6 years now smoke free ...yeah !!!
(but i still got a kick out of the sign)
greasy, yummy pizza...mmmmmm
wait a minute...
is that a cow i see.............
something familiar !
nah........
think i'm not in kansas anymore toto...
oh wait...and i met this guy on the street
haha...he asked me for directions.....
i took a gazillion more pics,
but i think i have to stop...
need to get some zzzzzzzzzzz
so i can get up and head to 2 flea markets in the a.m.
