The Homegrown Urban Country Fair last Saturday was an amazing event. Not only did I get to score fresh goodies from my favorite bakery, Companion- I spent the day creating upcycled goods with pals Autumn and Alecia. We froze our butts of for a bit, but the craftin’ kept us warm.
Autumn, creator of the Upcycle Exchange, made these killer hula hoops out of irrigation tubing and tape. Yeah, you know you want one.
Join me this weekend at the Homegrown Urban Country Fair at Tower Grove Park. I’ll be armed with TwIsTeD goodness while camping in the Upcycle Exchange booth with Senora Muertos.
More info on the fair- hope to see ya!
The HOMEGROWN Urban Country Fair
When: Saturday October 3 from 10am – 2:30pm
Where: Tower Grove Farmers Market in St. Louis
How: Exhibits, workshops and demos celebrating modern homesteading and how we’re connecting to good food, farmers and the earth. Hands-on, interactive and educational. Kickass music from Brothers Lazaroff and The Northwoods!
What: What are you waiting for – get involved! If you are in the St. Louis area and want to hold a workshop please email Cornelia at FarmAid.org. If you know of righteous folks doing cool things – from urban farming to bike power to aquaponics and things in between – in St. Louis that you think we should know about – do the same.
I can’t believe it’s over already! I spend all year looking forward to the Strange Folk Festival and then POOF! It’s over.
Spending a weekend at a craft show with some of your favorite people in the world isn’t too shabby. When the storm hit on Saturday afternoon, the boys quickly crafted a shelter with borrowed tarps (thank you Bare Tree Apparel!) and we giggled through the thunder and rain. Once the weather cleared, it was a gorgeous weekend all around.
Thank you to all my pals who came by the booth (especially those of you who walked away with your very own TwIsTeD & Mermaid Garden Party goodies!). I can’t wait till next year (:
