This morning, I had a hot little number of an email in my inbox from The Big Crafty. Seeing that it is one of my 2 favorite shows in the region (LAAFF being the other one - Mark the date - this Sunday, Sept 5!!!!!), I have been eyeing their website with anticipation waiting for the apps to go live. Today, they did, and what did I do? In the spirit of turning over a new leaf (thank you, Tara Gentile and Megan Auman), I actually applied early. I want to be in this show again Big Time. The summer show was amazing! My shared booth with 75rabbit was packed all day, folks were smiling through the rain, the sun was out MOST of the day, and I had a smashing time.
I was honored to be set up among so many talented, imaginitive artists and crafters, many of whom I admire and aspire to build connections with. I hope to become a staple at The Big Crafty, so I can continue to offer Asheville the best of what my hardworking hands have to give.
In other news, I'm preparing for the Holiday Season (can you say 16 hour day minimums?), reading everything Tara and Megan write (and trying to put it to use, attending seminars (and the occasional rock show), finding myself increasingly inspired by the cooler weather (and the textures/colors that come out to play during it), balking at the idea of Winter (it's only September, but Winter and I are life-long enemies), and sewing, tweeting, eating deliciousness in veggie form, and drinking a small country's worth of coffee.
Here's to inspiration lurking in the shadows, scents, and crispness of the coming days.
