this saturday was a very magical Crafty Picnic  at a lovely park in West Palm called Phipps Park. It had some beautiful trees, perfect for a nice shady place to craft under, also perfect trees to climb. I wish these trees were closer to my home. Or even if I could just have a tree house in one of the trees, that would be wonderful. This Crafty Picnic was put on by my crafty friend Hollie of Blueberryshoes Art and Vintage . She is very amazing and always puts together such cute crafty meetups. She also created an amazing Etsy Group called the Indie Free Spirits . Plus has a very magical Etsy shop  of fairy tale art & fashion. She created the pine goddess crown i am wearing in a few of the photos. These photos were taken by Hollie and also Amy of Peace, Love & Cupcakes (another amazing crafty friend/ artist). It is so nice to be surrounded by crafty folks and events like this are really special. If you dont have one sprouti...

  Gopi Bliss  Rose's Whimsical Garden Here are a few photos from a show I did this weekend, The Palm Beach Art & Music Festival . It was the first annual and it was at Meyer Ampitheater in West Palm Beach, FL. It was a chilly (about 60 degrees, thats coldd for south florida) but FUN time. Held on a nice grassy field with a nice band shell all the vendors flowed around the field all surrounding the band shell. I shared a tent with my friends Liza of Gopi Bliss and Rose of Rose's Whimsical Garden. We had a great time at the show. I brought a few of the hoola hoops i made and spent alot of the time hoola hooping and keeping warm. A few more photos I took at the show are here . Next weekend will be the Mini Odd Duck RETRO & GEEK Show . Can't wait. Peace & Love!

Stitch Rock, Indie Craft Fair & Bazaar Delray Beach FL Dialect at Brew's Urban Cafe Fort Lauderdale This weekend was Stitch Rock (south floridas largest indie craft fair & bazaar). It was saturday October 2nd at Old School Square in Delray FL. It is the bestest craft show. Packed with many unique crafty/ vintage vendors. This year was the biggest yet, with vendors both in the gymnasium and under a large tent outside. I was upstairs on the balcony this year along with some other crafty friends. One that i am especially excited to be booth neighbors to is my twin sister jessica. She is back with her Chloe the Hot Dog & Friends art, she even made cute lil florida oranges. Yay! I missed her by my side. She got married to Eric earlier this year and has been busy with new things like a golden retriever puppy (who is now chloe the hot dogs best friend) and gardening and traveling to the keys with her husband. But she is back painting some again and will be at more sh...

Peace begins with a smile. -Mother Teresa   You must be the change you want to see in the world. -Mahatma Gandhi Imagine all the people living life in peace. You may say I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one. I hope someday you'll join us, and the world will be as one. - John Lennon All works of love are works of peace. - Mother Theresa Love art by Peter Max Happy International Day of Peace friends. I hope you do something special today to celebrate this special day. I was inspired by an event i saw called Make Art For Peace One Day and I created a Peace Owl mask. If you would like a Peace Owl mask to color/ wear send me a note and I will send you one. Spreading peace, love and smiles is what me and my Peace Owls love the best. Enjoy your day, reflect on the people that have stood up for Peace and those that continue to strive for it. Join together for the greater good. Peace & Love!
