Wonderful...
Mar. 14th, 2008 03:06 pmI walked over to the art show. On the way in - after I bought my ticket - this couple were coming out saying "Well, that was sure a big disappointment! There was nothing there!" WTF? The show had started at noon and this was 12:45 and already they were done and disappointed? Oh dear.
But, it turns out they were dead wrong. It was great. Fun. And energizing. Mostly I just looked and smiled and looked and smiled. So much was so pretty and so thoughtful and so original. It was just fun to be surrounded by all that. I just wandered from booth to booth taking it all in and then did the whole thing again. I found two things I wanted so after going through twice I went back.
I bought a pair of earrings - one a tiny enamel blue flower and the other an enamel green leaf.
Then I bought
This

to go here

It's actually a lazysusan so it stand out from the wall a bit and is spinnable!
The artist is up the road a piece and had some very cool stuff. But this was the coolest and I've been on the hunt for something excellent for that spot for a long time. She had me send her the Benjamin Moore nums of my purple and lime so she can tweak hers to go with.
Ok, work is beeping at me.
