HALLOWEEN FESTIVITIES

Tomorrow night, The Sierra Grille, in Northampton is having a special Halloween costume gig. They've been doing gigs Thursday night, but changed this week because of Halloween.

Prizes will be given away for best costume, one of which will be a gift certificate from us! So, get those creative minds flowing and go dressed for the occasion.

GOING TO A CRAFT FAIR

There is a DIY Craft Fair in Boston this Sunday, the 28th from 10-5, and we'll be one of the vendors! It's at the MASS Art Pozen Center. It'll be a new experience for us, and hopefully a good one. Wish us luck!

Here are two fliers that were sent my way about it:

YES, MORE

I'm on a roll this week. I have more product pics to share with you all. I'm really going to try to stay on top of this. We've been getting so much new product in, it's crazy.

This time, we have mosaic mirrors by Maria, glass earrings by Caitlin, and spiders by Ann.
*note: some of these pics may be slightly different than the ones we still have for sale.

The beautiful mosaic mirrors by Maria:












A variety of the glass earrings by Caitlin:
We have a ton more colors and shapes of these in the shop.













Plus a few of the beaded spiders by Ann:
Halloween is coming....

CHERRY WINTERS

We recently got some new stuffed creatures from Cherry Winters, and we're getting even more this week. They are graphite and watercolor crayon on mulberry paper, varnished and hand-sewn. We'll be filled with bunnies, chickens, horses, 2 elephants, manatees, and some steak & cheese.

The Art Parlor wrote a nice blurb about her work seen at the Easthampton Art Walk last weekend. They mentioned us too!

SID VINTAGE FASHION SHOW

This Friday, the 19th at Diva's in Northampton, Sid Vintage is putting on a fashion show. It should be a really fun night. We're adding a small promotional piece to the goody bags too, plus a door prize!

We have something new to offer you all

As many of you know, attached to the Dandie in the Underworld boutique is a studio space. It's filled with piles of community supplies that are free to any of our volunteers to use. We pretty much have anything you can think of from: colored pencils, markers, crayons, fabric paints, spray paint to fabric and clothes that can be reconstructed, fake flowers, beads, buttons, a fully functional sewing machine.....etc, etc. It is a small space and as most studios, tends to get a bit messy, but that's the nature of the space!

So we decided since we have so much in there and we want some more creative energy flowing in there we would like to offer it to any/all of you for an hourly fee of only $5/hr. The only catch is that you can't take any of the supplies with you and we would prefer if things you work on were inspired to sell in the shop. They don't have to be but it would be cool if they were. So maybe you don't have a space to work or can't afford to sign a lease and pay monthly rent, or just need a change of scenery. You'll have full access to all of the supplies in the studio and a place to go to create.

Or if you want, we can still use volunteers to work on the boutique side too....where there is a lot of down time so most likely you'll have studio time then and won't have to pay the $5/hr. We're also thinking that if some of you are interested in volunteering but not for our traditional open hours (thurs-sun, noon-10) then you can still come in and have the shop open on off hours. It can only help business to be open more anyway!

If this interests any of you or if you have any questions, let us know. I'm going to try to set up a calendar so times don't overlay.

Think about it.
