10a Alabama Loot Part 1

Where in the world can you find an arts & crafts fair where you get to hear Rilke read in German and English under a big tree.. see junk resurrected...meet a blue bird on a gate...eat a sumptuous backpacker's lunch prepared by a tea laboratory...make friends with 2 dogs who are better dressed than most of the vendors...and, of course, meet a bunch of talented artists and crafters?  Ahh, 10a Alabama, where have you been all our lives?

It was truly a wonderful experience to meet like-minded people who are so passionate about their art and craft, and even more wonderful to make friends with them.  Many thanks again to Leah, Robert, Binggoy and Jetro for such a great weekend.  We look forward to more happy weekends at 10a Alabama.

But we here at Artefact not only made friends and peddled our handmade wares; we also shopped, and shopped...and shopped.  Here's part 1 of our loot...

Lomo  LC-A keychain from Jazel, small paintings from Montalut, re-purposed plastic bag bracelets from Tina, fabric TV pin from Angela of Ducks and Cherries, and a dog toy from Rica of dandd closet.

with some of our new friends...

Here's to more shopping and swapping at the art exchange!
