Smart Girls Shop Handmade...A First Friday Recap

I had the pleasure of being part of an amazing First Friday with a great group of artistic and entrepreneurial women - Andrea Talarico - (our host and owner of Anthology New and Used Books), Amanda Vonson-Fernandez (owner of Magpie Vintage and designer of Oh Sweet Josephine reconstructed vintage jewelry), and Cristin Powers (designer of GreenBeing-THE LABEL- and owner of Greenbeing-THE STORE- opening next month in Scranton). The four of us collaborated on an event entitled "A Collection of Eco-Functional Art" which turned out pretty damnn awesome...a gorgeous space, eco-accessories, loads of good books, good live music and yummy organic food...oh yeah, and lots of wine. If you missed the event, you should still stop by Anthology as our exhibit will be up for the next few weeks.

Unfortunately, I missed a bunch of other really great exhibits that I really would have loved to see...such as Tomlynn Fallon at Mark's Tattoo, Lealeawashere* and A Slave to the Details at Duffy Accessories as well as others. Here are some pics of our event...hopefully I will have more to post soon...
