It's with great pride that I present to you a newly built dressing room at the boutique. The project all-in-all cost me $17.00. Between an old door I found on the side of the road last year (and KNEW I was going to use for something!), the free 2x4's my friends Dave and Amy gave me (sure, I had to pick some slugs and moss off them, but they worked just fine), and an assortment of yard sale finds for decoration, I was able to make the project look good. Take that,
Design on a Dime! (I of course have to thank my father, who upon finding out I was going to try and frame out the wall myself (I DO know how to do it!), loaded up his tools and came over the next day to help turn my drawing into reality. So, 4 hours, $17.00, and one fun "thank you" dinner out with my dad at Walter's Basin, I have a dressing room! Swing on by and check it out! :o)
This past Saturday, I had the honor of attending the SAW (Squam Art Workshops) reception at Rockwald Deephaven and representing the boutique. What fun it was! There were amazing artists and creators alike, from all walks of life, buying, selling, admiring, wearing, talking about and living art. Despite a sore back (it was my second show of the day) and later hours, it was work every pain and ache in my toes to be able to enjoy the company of such creative folk!
I chose a sampling of works from the shop that would make for a nice assortment of product (and be easy to transport). From bags to hats to jewelry to signs to handsewn creations, it made for a fun little display. (This has definitely gotten the wheels turning in my head on other ways we as artists at the boutique can take our work on the road!)
