good morning!
I just got back from a walk, and I'm all, "Why am I not doing this every morning?"
It feels so good to move. You may recall that I need physical activity to work off my stress-anxiety-depression tendencies. I have not been getting enough exercise lately and I can feel it. And unfortunately for everyone around me, so can they! I really should, at the very least, work out as a service to the people in my daily life. Poor things.
So I still have pictures from the Boston Handmade Marketplace last month. Hope you aren't sick of hearing about it. Here goes.
Being a fan of Ashley Anna Brown's photo stream, I was excited for the chance to see her Fern Animals up close (and personal.)
Till July 25th only, Ashley is accepting custom orders for animals. Get on it! Ooooh, I wish I had some of my fabric samples. Maybe she'll still make me one when I get them, if I beg. I am so not above begging for stuffed animals.
Aren't they amazingly cute?
It's hard to get a sense of scale from these pictures, but they are petite.
Tiny!
Here, see how giant I am in comparison?
And I am but a wee lass!
I love that little lion. Oh my god. Did I mention the cuteness? Are you sensing it? Do you get the cuteness?
I was all exuberant about them like that while I was there looking at them. I think Ashley may have been frightened.
Charming hand-painted signage:
Check out this adorable collection of strawberry pincushions:
Vintagey, non?
I love the linen one:
Birds!
I mean, who doesn't love a hand made bird softie? Aren't they perfect?
Since the creatures weren't in my budget, so I was happy that she had some smaller ticket items:
I didn't get the buttons, but I did get some of these:
Again with the cute signs!
I was psyched that these cards were so affordable. (That little one on the right is her business card.)
They are really nice quality postcards with brown envelopes.
I love them.
I don't even want to send them to anyone, that's how much I love them.
Ok, time for work. Tell me how you are. I want to know.
