Last week was Toma's first art walk in Portland. In stall 406 he was selling his paintings and prints on the side of the street like a gypsy pop-up-shop. As a diligent, micro-managing, let-me-do-it, kind of girlfriend, I was of course there to help set up and get things looking the way I wanted them.
It was about 85 degrees, and we were in direct sunlight. The beautiful glowing sun caused my make up to melt, and my false lashes to fall off, as seen in the image below. All in all, we handed out lots of business cards, sold lots of post cards, and even a few prints. I rather like the traveling tent shop experience and am quite excited for the next adventure!
The next shows are Olympia, WA and then Astoria, OR. We seem to be all over the place these days. We could also use your crossed fingers that we land a space at Urban Craft Uprising in Seattle this December. I am so excited for where are lives are leading us, and the children. Life is so very good, and so very full of possibility!

I personally really love that one as well :)
I'll be buying from his etsy shop as soon as I'm moved Love his work!
Congratulations on the art show and sale. It's always exciting to hear about other visual artists doing well. :)
Your outfit is darling despite the makeup situation, in the summer I rarely wear eye makeup due to the muggy heat in Chicago.
I so want the pattern for your dress.. I'm willing to pay for a copy? Is that legal? You also have another blog post where you are wearing a white dress, but I can't find the post now.. I LOVE that dress too.. not sure if it is one you made or not?
PS i think the white dress was maybe made of seersucker?
