One thing I truly love about Summer are the art festivals held in every city over the hot months. Since I found out I have to be in Minnesota at the beginning of August for work, I have been looking forward to the Uptown Art fair in Minneapolis (yes, Uptown, not downtown) that I have not been to in years.
Whether it's the over abundance of pottery and jewelry or the fun, unique stuff you spy from each artistic, I always walk away with something great. And there is usually some fun "fair" food too- such as my faves- roasted corn on the cob or a yummy corn dog.
As I thought about the pending Uptown art fair, I was totally unaware that there was another art fair at Redstone in Park City today! So, after a fun Sunday of a great workout and a pedicure, off in search of treasures I went. Not super exciting, and fairly small, but I did come away with 2 new trinkets.
1- Funky, sparkly cheese knives
2- A new dinner plate
I realized, when a friend visited me in PC a few months back and I served some cheese and crackers, I did not have any cheese knives. Call me silly, I know... :) Now I do! Cheese & wine at Darien's place!
And in Cali, about 2 years ago, I got rid of my "standard" place settings (dishes) and started collecting miss matched plates, bowls, mugs, etc. for fun. I tend to pick them up at art fairs, trips with girlfriends across the country, etc. So far my mugs and bowls are quite the conversation starters, but my plates still leave a little be desired. I am now one step closer!
Makes for a smiley, happy Sunday. More to come after Uptown in 1 week.
Go starving artists go- you have my support!
