SOWA

After a long (and wonderful) weekend I was rushing home to the island to meet some friends for dinner but couldn’t help but quickly breeze through the SOWA market in Boston’s South End before dedicating my eyes to the road. I spanned the perimeter quickly but was still able to capture some beautiful shots of some of the talented artisans presenting their work.
Here are some shots of my favorite things...

Daylynn Richards of Nevermore reminded me of being young and finding little trinkets outside in the yard and creating an eerie story around it. Her work was amazing and I have to go back and find more of it. She had this whole forgotten fairytale element around each piece...like it would bring you to some dark place.

I was very excited to run into my friend Nicole of Fidget Finds at SOWA. I always see her adventures online but was unable to make it to the booth. Last summer I had the pleasure of having a little apartment above her store so my vintage cravings were always satisfied by walking downstairs. I am planning on doing a little piece on her in my blog so make sure to keep reading!

I couldn't leave empty handed! A token of my adventure was this amazing clutch from Thailand. Only 12 bucks (Abbey you would be proud). I love the colors and it checks off another item on my August Wish List!

My favorite piece of art! A play on Little Red Riding Hood by Casey Weibust

For my first Personal Style blog, I wanted to do one of my best friends. I am blessed to be surrounded by a group of people who always stray from the pack and dance to whatever makes them happy.

Though each one of us is extremely different in our own rite, we are blessed to have similar values and beliefs and therefore have remained so close through many years.

Here is my fantastic blog on Casey Weibust, an artist, a goblin and a great friend...

Both Casey and I grew up in a similar fashion...playing outside barefoot in the dirt, building homes from sticks and leaves and always sharing a common interest in the darker side of the average fairytale.

While I proceeded through most of middle and high school, walking through hallways in bright pinks and purples, Casey was taking her art and her style to a demonous level (in the best of ways).

And though we may have different looks, there are two things we will always agree on...

First, a sense of thriftiness while scouring for clothing is a MUST and secondly, Tim Burton is a genius!
