{East Nashville Arts Fest}

I found out a little too late for entry to this, but I'm super excited for the East Nashville Arts Fest this weekend!!

This is the first fest, and I'm praying it continues as an annual event. I'm definitely hoping I can get my act together and sign up for next year. The entry fee is a little high, but it could be worth it. I'll have to see how this year's turn out is.

I've been more than busy with work, but hopefully I can keep crafting and keep posting! I wanted to share this, so that any readers in the Nashville area could go out and support the local crafting scene!

P.S.The amazing poster is from Yee-Haw Industries, hailing from my hometown, Knoxville, TN!

{mother's day surprise}

Well... it's more just like a card and a present rolled into one! But I think all my mothers and grandmothers are going to love one.

I suppose the postage would be a bit more on this than a regular card-- I'm handing them out to my family-- but aren't our mothers worth it?

I designed the card fronts specifically for this purpose, to put a pin next to it. Then I made another version for sending without the pin.

Hopefully, my mother's will wear the pins with pride-- and sorry for ruining your surprise-- or at least enjoy looking at the lovely cards!

** I'm putting the card fronts below. I hoping they are large enough and of good enough quality for you guys to use. I recommend printing them two to a page that is printed landscape.

Feel free to print them out and send them for personal use, but not for personal gain! Also, link love is greatly appreciated!**

I've been working on a little decoration for my theoretical craft room. I took a little inspiration from the New York Public Library's digital gallery, which I absolutely LOVE, as well as my favorite spring colors.

I also included a few of my favorite quotes-- two from Jane Austen because I'm on a bit of a kick after re-reading Emma.

I've designed the four prints shown above to hang in a square above my bookcase. I'm thinking black frames, but I'm not sure. What do you think?
