1. What I saw at SOWA: Antique MArket

Went to SOWA Market today with my fabulous artist artists Gina Perry and Vita Mechachonis. I've been to SOWA so many times yet I have actually NEVER visited EVERY part of the market in one day (Open Art Market, Antique Market, Farmers' Market and Food Trucks@SOWA). Well today I (WE!) finally did. I'll sprinkle posts about three of them, over my next few blog posts. (No Farmer's Market pics happened, sorry!) First up is the Antique Market.  :D

 

Door knobs. I've lived in old houses for most of my life, and vintage door knobs have just creeped into the big pile of disorganized inspirations in my brain. Not unlike this big pile of disorganized door knobs.



Ah I love old novelty travel souvenir postcards! Cute packages of 'em.


Always love these old printed frosted glass drinking glasses. How neat are these with the line art, lettering and map art. (Bonus anchors, and these are right on trend!)


Hello, creepy bartender man!


Mannequin figure with lots of costume jewelry. Love the look!


OH GLOBES! How I love globes. Globes globes globes. Wish there were more. (But then, I probably should be glad there wasn't!)


Pile of random stuff... Except for the metal bunny-rabbit-and-chick egg. That is NOT random at all.



Old glass bottles!



Do you find clowns creepy? I do sometimes, and sometimes I don't. But I am fascinated by the whole clown-phobia thing. Which makes them all the more curious of a subject.




I am kookoo for vintage postcards. I used to collect them, not officially. I just sort of acquired a lot of them over time. Since I have never repurposed them, and I'm now really into not acquiring stuff that doesn't scream at me loudly, I was easily able to resist these... Until I dug into the stack.




...and then they just got a little harder to resist. (I still resisted though. For today.)

2. Trend-spotting At Borders

Had a little fun in the city on Saturday with Matt - hey a girl's gotta get out and enjoy the day a bit, no matter how much work there is to do! Stopped into Border's Books and as usual snapped away what they had in store...



 Cute owls. I've seen this one in Borders for at least six months. It must have been (or is still?) a hot seller. It's a design I can get behind - I liked it when I first saw it and I still like it now. (It's "got legs", as they say!)



 Tea time art -- I love tea time as a theme. I've drawn a lot of Tea Time themed art myself - I just feel it's  an inspiring theme, fun, lots of room for imagination! (Might help that I LOVE TEA and the requisite tea paraphernalia - cups, teapots... some day, I'll show you my little collection here!)


Butterflies --  I've seen a lot of butterflies around lately. I think they are on a Comeback Tour. (Would you agree?)





These are cute. You see SO much art these days which are strongly inspired by Japanese art and animation. The trend continues - and, to m

3. Trend shopping on a beautiful spring day



Happy Spring! Spring has sprung here in Boston and Saturday was a great day for my hubby and I to go out and enjoy the day. For me, the day was double-duty, serving as both a "date day" with my hubby as well as a trip to go "trend shopping" and see what colors and motifs are hot right now. It's fun!


I am a chocoholic and have never tried the Teuscher brand of chocolate, even though I've walked by their Newbury Street store many a time. This time, we went in. The window displays were so pretty, and I just love to see what the chocolate companies come up with to market their chocolate for one of chocolates biggest holidays, Easter, which is right around the corner!


See what the store looked like on entering. A beautiful wonderland of bright colors, paper art and chocolate!

Check out some of these lovely, colorful packaged gifts, ready for the kiddies and adults alike to enjoy on Easter Sunday!
