Thursdays on First

Heather and I spent the afternoon at Thursdays on first. There's great music, great food and of course - great artists and crafters!

The feel here is great - everyone is welcome, kids are playing. There's music in the air and oh the aromas....


The fountain at peace plaza was a hot spot the with the younger crowd. I love this picture, may end up doing a painting off this some day... hum...

As we wandered around we came across Jen and Company. And lookie lookie what we found.... yummy.....


Oh and there's this....


The ladies there are great!! Check out their store!! -> http://jenNco2.etsy.com



Our next stop was Misque Manuf. Debra has great handbags there!!! I got so busy talking I didn't snap as many pictures as I would have liked... So, I can only offer a taste, you'll just have to stop by and see for yourself!


I did get a shot of this fablous little red number.... Oh if only my old purse die so I can buy another.. (DIE PURSE DIE!!!!)

Big changes to our Etsy team!

Thanks to a very productive meeting at Green Mill back in May, we've made some great changes to our Etsy group. We have a new name: The Artists' Collective of Southeastern Minnesota. We have a new logo, seen off to your right, thanks to Crystal. And because I had too much caffeine tonight, we are also getting some new blog updates! Stay tuned as more good things come from the stunningly creative minds of The Artists' Collective... and check out our Etsy shops for some great art and crafts!
