Also, we will be donating our "Striped Beauty" print to the Autism Society of Deleware for their Autumn Auction for Autism. This was such a great honor to be accepted in their silent auction. With so many children being diagnosed with autism, it's a huge cause to help out.

Lafeyette & X-treme Sports Day

Today was a welcome back to all the Lafeyette Staff & Students. The circle was full of people enjoying the bakeries and craft vendors. There was cotton candy, hot dogs, music, and singing. Everyone joined in the hot pepper eating contest, the watermelon shotput, and the cake walk. Balloons filled the air and even the Crayola crayon was seen dancing around.


We premiered our magnets and aroma cards. Unfortunately, I was unable to finish up the glass paper weights, bookmarks, and ACEO cards. Hopefully I'll be able to bring them next week. Credit cards are now accepted at all of our events. Don't have cash with you, just use any of the four major credit cards.

We also had a number of four-legged customers this week. Take a look.

See you next weekend,
Shannon

Farmers Market Grand Opening

We had our grand opening this weekend at the Easton Farmers Market. It was a cool overcast day, but atleast it didn't rain. We had a small setup at booth 18 in between the Backyard Growers & Teels Hill Soapworks. You could find a selection of 5x7 prints in 8x10 mats, notecards, greeting cards, and postcards. There were larger framed prints on display, our portfolio was available for special orders, and free monthly drawing entries were being taken. The highlight of the weekend had to be my husband's zebra picture. All the kids recognized it as the zebra from the zoo.


Encase you weren't able to make it, there were fantasha dancers, the 2008 Agri Art competition, and animals. That's right! The greyhound rescue and Smith Krekk Alpacas were there with their dogs and alpacas. Children and adults of all ages were using fruits and vegetables to make animals art. It was a lot of fun.

NEXT WEEK

September 20th is the 2nd annual Lafayette Day from 10am-3pm. Students & staff from Lafayette College will be visiting the circle and most vendors will be offering special discounts to them. There will also be X-treme Sports Day events held in the circle. Don't forget to stop by the Riverside Festival of the Arts only 2 blocks away!

In honor of Lafayette Day, we'll be offering our 5x7 prints in 8x10 mats for only $15 each to anyone with a Lafayette armband. We're also premiering our magnets and glass paperweights. Stop by and see us if you're in the area.
