Picnic Music + Arts Festival - August 24th, 2013

So much time, so little to do. No wait. Scratch that. Reverse it. 

The 6th Annual Picnic Music + Arts Festival (in my opinion, the very best arts event in Portland) is right around the corner, and I'm busy making TONS of new handcrafted jewelry and pet accessories for this event. Get a sneak peek of what you'll find at the Lofted Designs booth by visiting my Etsy shop!

The forecast is looking great for daytime outdoor activities, but I encourage you to come early! Before the good stuff is sold and before the weather possibly turns in the afternoon. 

This event it juried and pretty darn selective, so you are sure to see the best of the best here. This isn’t your grandma’s craft fair. A list of vendors can be found here.

Come on out and have some fun before Hurricane Irene puts you on house arrest. Hope to see you there!

Portsmouth Open Market

 

This Sunday - July 3rd (10am - 4pm)
Portsmouth Open Market at Strawbery Banke Museum in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, is a juried outdoor independent art and Farmers Market. This town has needed a great ongoing event like this for so long! Approximately 70 local and regional artists and farmers set up shop nearly every Sunday all summer long.

There are different vendors weekly so you'll never see the same market twice! You'll find lots of great items including house wares, paper goods, handbags, jewelry, ceramics, clothing, accessories, paintings/drawings and many other one-of-a-kind curiosities.

I'll be there this Sunday, July 3rd. Visit the Lofted Designs booth to say hello! If you can't make it this Sunday, I'll also be there on August 7th and October 2nd.

You can also keep up with the Open Market on Facebook and Twitter.

Summer Sun & Fun Festival

I had a great time this past Saturday, July 11th, at the Cocheco Valley Humane Society's Summer Sun & Fun Festival! So many lovely people came out to enjoy the day and many brought their wonderful pups along.

My new line of pet tags made their debut and were met with glowing reviews. Thanks to all for the great feedback. Look for them in my shop and hopefully in a few local pet stores soon as well!

Here are a few photos of my booth at the festival:
