This Saturday, May 15th is the 11th Annual Art Hop on Alberta Street here in Portland. It’s from 11:00am to 6:00pm. I’m looking forward to being an art vendor for the first time ever! What is it you ask? “Art on Alberta’s annual Art Hop is a beloved day-long arts focused festival drawing over 20,000 people to see displays by local artists and vendors of various disciplines, juried exhibits, and performances along a 17-block stretch of NE Alberta Street. The street festival is lively with plenty of opportunities for participants to interact
with the arts and artists.”

My booth will be located at NE Alberta Street & 24th Avenue, where the leaf is shown above. Stop by and say hello!

I designed new business cards. Front and back of card was printed on lovely 16pt dull cover with matte finish. Anyone up for a business card exchange?

Here’s a little sneak peek of the jewelry I’ve been making lately. These earrings are made up of antique brass kidney wires and green to brown glass faceted beads. There are some big plans for my online Etsy shop. Over the next week or two you may see some items trickle in.

This last weekend was incredible. I’ll cherish it in my heart always, as mushy as that sounds. I want to send out a huge thanks to Cathy and Torie for organizing such an awesome show! And lest we not forget… to you all that came out and supported it! Crafty Wonderland is definitely a staple in making Portland what it is. I’m so thankful to be able to experience it. So much creative talent at the event. It was so cool to see the faces behind shops that I have favorited on Etsy. I wish I had a chance to go around and meet more of you!

I took many photos of the weekend. You can check them all out on my Flickr. I posted a few below too.

Thanks to my friend Heidi for capturing this shot! www.heidihoffmanphotography.com

People a shoppin’. I got to sneak out of my booth when it was quiet for a moment to snap a photo.

I had a ball today meeting new friends and visiting with old friends. Looking forward to the 2nd day!
