Art in my House- Featuring: Hallmarket Friends! (Part 2)

Hi-ya Pals!

Hallmarket is this weekend! I'm pretty excited to get me some sweet art :) My little Nuggies are all pretty much done, and now I'm just making the tags, and putting together a few other items to sell. I will report back with some pics next week!

But for this week, I want to show you the second half of my home Hallmarket collection! Won't you join me...



In the bathroom?? Yes, I believe art belongs in every room of the house-- and as a matter of fact, this is one of my favorite little vignettes. I love my little roller skating monster guy by Colin Walsh hanging out next to the TP and the mag rack (which I found dumpster diving).

 



He makes me quite happy whenever I see him.

 



Now this cute little postcard was created by Colin's wife, Sarah! I love Big Bad Wolf imagery, and I just think it was such a good Idea for Little Red to carry mace with her on her trip to Granny's.

 



I hung this piece next to my bookcase, with the hugging dino and penguin drawing that my genius friend Michael made, and the sheet of mint condition Treasure Troll stickers from '92 that my pal Vanessa thrifted for me!

Sarah and Colin have an Etsy Shop you can check out, and here's a link to Sarah's blog: Unicorn Poo

Alright, y'all- see you on the other side of Hallmarket!

Art in My House- Featuring: Hallmarket friends! (part 1)

Hi friends!

Well, I'm breaking tradition with the title up there... but that old format was boxing me in too much! I need to be free to title my blog posts however I want!!

Anyway, since the Hallmarket Art Fair is coming up next week, I wanted to write a couple of Hallmarket-themed posts here for you. Personally, I have only experienced one year of Hallmarket, but I came home with lots of great treasures last year and thought I would show them off!

This lovely little zombie-toast mosaic was made by Donna! It is hanging over my kitchen sink, and fits right in with my toast and tiki kitchen decor.

I'm pretty sure I got the little cookie cutter weenie from a rummage sale, and that little bird has been around for quite a while. I found him in Mexico as a teenager.

Donna will be selling more mosaics this year, and you can check out her flickr site for more pics, here!

This yarn-haired girl is hanging in my studio/library, and was made by Flora!

I found that little Figgjo Lotte Plaque, designed by Turi Oliver, at an antique shop here in Kansas City, and I made the block print of the cat last year.

Flora will be selling all kinds of cute prints, brooches, rings, and more this year- check out her blog to see more of her stuff, here!



See the little waving sasquatch there? No? Ok, hang on...

There he is! This little teeny guy was made by Mimi! He's hanging in this little nook in my studio/library, and he makes me happy whenever I see him waving at me :^)

He's nestled between a picture of me and my pals Sophie, Anne, and Kari, and that cute old Bambi puzzle from the 60's that I found at a thrift shop in Milwaukee.

Mimi will be selling more tini-mimis this year, and I wish I could point you to a blog with more of her work, but I got nuthin' for ya!

Stay tuned next week for more Hallmarket goodies!



The poster was designed by Maura! Look at her stuff here!
