Pretty Leaves

Just thinking yesterday about gathering some pretty fall leaves with my son soon, especially now that they are covering our backyard. Then I stumbled upon these pretty leaves this morning and had to share. Aren't they neat?

By Spanish artist Lorenzo Duran. I wonder how long they take to create.

Shadow Art Fair, Winter 2009

There is a local independent arts & crafts fair that goes on in the spring, and again in the winter every year. It is relatively new, I believe, and it's called The Shadow Art Fair. I absolutely LOVE it, and try to make it every time I can.

Here are a few things I really liked from the fair, it was held just this past Saturday.

The cycle-powered cinema. More info here.


Talk about a work-out, but such a COOL idea! Thanks Andy! :)

These gorgeous cakes from a company called Sweet Heather Anne. I love when bakers give you a sample too, what a TREAT. It was seriously delicious, and how PRETTY too!


LauraLyn (fellow Etsian!) had cute handmade Cosplay & Lolita styles. I really liked this scarf.
Cute bows & headbands too.


Bright kiss paintings = COOL.


The faces on these mugs really caught my eye! By yet another fellow Etsian
called J. Thomson Pots.
Aren't they fun?




Adorable. Wish I could remember the name of this shop! I'm sorry!

Their beard hats made me smile. :) They look so warm.

Pretty block prints.

A cool shirt I saw, just had to take a pic. ;)


And finally my favorite of all the vendors! Jewelry seller Sara Bradstreet. She was super sweet and friendly, and I LOVED her amazing statement pieces created from vintage jewelry. I was so happy to find out that she also has a little etsy shop called Broad Street! :)


Hope you enjoyed this little peek from an awesome way to spend a Saturday afternoon. For more information about the Shadow Art Fair, click HERE.
