So today was the long awaited Craftivisim fair, and David and I were there with our table o' books.
We had so many they barely fit on our 6X4' table. It was really cool to get a ton of positive feedback from passers-by, so many people loved them and loved the idea of the recycled sketchbooks from record album covers. A couple Louis Vuitton bag toting women said, "What are these? what are they?" apparently they'd never encounterd books before.
We sold a few journals and a couple of my twin books, and I traded another vendor my Romeo & Juliet Ballet sketckbook for a handmade crochet bumblebee kitty, she really wanted the journal and I couldn't say no to the kitty offer. I think my highlight of the day, was our Kennedy sighting. The two girls with a table back to back with ours were selling cards. This guy showed up to hangout with them, and I looked at him thinking, he's familiar somehow. I looked at his fancy 70's glasses and hipster loafers. I took in the haircut thinking, oh, that guy looks like Kennedy, then I caught a glimpse of a diamond encrusted letter "K" necklace hanging about his neck and was like, "Oh my god, it IS Kennedy." If there was any doubt in my mind, it was gone when he left and his friends said, "Bye, Kennedy." Wow. We took secret pictures of him, that's him on the right.
If you don't know him, please go to his
website and watch the Lovin' Your Mama video. I promise you too will become a fan. We caught this video at the Egyptian Theater a couple years ago at a Res Fest and were enraptured.
