Our Day with The Handmade Brigade

November 1st was a sunny and bloody hot day. As newbies to the crafting fair scene, we didn't bring an umbrella. Thanks to a sweetie named Bev, we were able to keep cool by using a table cloth as a tarp over our booth. Thank goodness for her. Throughout the day we met lots and lots of cool people, including the gals from Handmade Brigade. Thank you Jackie, Melissa, Nina and Brook (and Gus) for having us at your event, we were glad to have this one
be our first!

We arrived early, so to kill time we hung out in the parking lot. 

9:30 a.m. It's me! setting up and adding last minute

touches to the booth.

Our booth signage, DIY style: cardboard, homemade stencil 

and spray paint.

One of our favorite customers modeling The Head Shop's newest addition to the Design Series 2 collection (Vincent van Gogh apron, available soon).

The Lemonhead contest was a success, the family above carefully inspects the jar and takes a guess.

Thanks for coming by, it was so nice to see you! Come visit us at CoLab's Art & Craft Market on Sunday, December 13th from 1-8p. For more info visit Gallery Nucleus

29!

Twenty Nine Palms Highway, a long road lined with mom and pop spots, art galleries, book stores, sale upon yard sale, is thee place to find one-of-a-kind gems. Mt. Fuji General Store, owned by artist Chantale Doyle was among my favorite places to visit. The quaint shop sells everything from salt shakers to comic books. Mt. Fuji houses the work of well knowns such as John Porcellino, while also welcoming locals to showcase their talent. My find: a heather gray tunic, screenprinted with hot pink organic twisting clouds, accented with black and white striped pockets. Surrounding Mt. Fuji you can find a sweet place to grab a cup of coffee at TeaCakes Bakery or choose from several vintage thrift shops to find that special something you've been looking for. I highly recommend taking the drive to desert and enjoying the scenery, art and culture that a small town has to offer. 

Hair Peace, Bed Peace!
