We had another fun day at Thursdays on First. Despite the forcast of rain, it turned out to be a beautifully sunny and busy day! This week there were 5 booths of Artist Collective members, 4 of them different than last week's group, so I'm doing another post to include some quick snapshots I took while walking around with my little "model".
I was excited to see Liz of Terra Madre Soaps there again. She brought samples of her soap to a team meeting a little over a year ago, and I was eager to get more. She has expanded to lotions this year as well, and her booth smells absolutely beautiful! If you get a chance, stop by and try a sample. I have my new favorite, Spring Rain, in my shower now. : )
Amy of Morning Star Arts was there with her lovely jewelry and pendants. Amy and I shared a booth and had a wonderful time. If you haven't seen her beautiful postage stamp or copper enameled pendants yet, come by when Amy and I share a spot again August 20th to check them out. They were a big hit! If I didn't have my daughter at the age of trying to rip things off my neck, I would have been buying something new every time we had a lull in traffic.
And here I am, Andrea of The Hobby Room, with my collection of hooded towels, burp cloths, hair accessories, and tutus. Between the bright colored tutus hanging from the edge of the tent and my daughter smiling at people passing by, we had a lot of traffic in our booth this week.
Jen and the gang of Jen and Company were there again in their usual spot on the pavilion with their collection of jewelry and stained glass creations. I've met both Jen and her mom Carlene many times now, but I got the treat of meeting two more of the team this week - Jen's son and uncle. Oh, if I wasn't so bad at names....
Here is Jen's uncle working on a beautiful stained glass table. His talent amazes me! Jen and Company are there every week with all of their family's creations, so stop by and check it out.
Crystal of Scrub Your Butt Soap was also there, but on a break when I stopped by to snap pictures. She is there almost every week in a booth shared with Bubbles by Brooke at the front of the pavilion.
I will be back with Amy on August 20th and will possibly snap a couple more pictures. Until next time, happy shopping! : )
Andrea
