Uneedasee

Last Monday I got to witness being in the Path of Totality Solar Eclipse. This might be the only one I will see in my lifetime and some people go their whole life never seeing one, so I felt very lucky and wanted to share it with the rest of the world. Not the best shot of it but it is my experience. I sadly had to work this day, so I was not able to go to one of the many Solar Eclipse Events happening around town. Being in Kansas City made it a little bit harder to see it in its full beauty. So amazed by the amount of people who stop everything they were doing to watch this Eclipse.

This past weekend I had a very busy day of hand crafted goods, vintage finds and ethnic eats. First trip was to the pop up shop of handmade goods from local Kansas City artist. You know me and how much I love a good bargain, so this clearance sale was right up my alley. Most of these artists we see at a lot of the great events we go to so getting to buy their items at discount was a high light. You got to also have the opportunity to see their creative process that they go through making each piece. I bought a very cute little plant pot with a shuttlecock charm hanging from it by Kate Schroeder Ceramics , a great deal grab bag over at Lost and Found by one of our favorite artists,  Tara , and last a few hand towels that I've been eyeing at Tammy Smith Design . I also got to find two other amazing artists,  Milkweed Baby with the cutest baby shoes, and Bloo Brush Collective with their beautiful handmade ceramics. 

Another season so another  Strawberry Swing  Indie Craft Fair!  It's becoming the place to go for all things local and handmade in Kansas City.  This time it was held behind  The Nelson Atkins Museum  of Art, I believe to be the biggest museum in Kansas City as well as known by the shuttlecock sculptures displayed on the lawn.  At the fair one could buy raffle tickets for prices and all proceeds went to the museum.  Sadly, I lost the raffle but still contributed to the arts!
