I {Heart} Handmade

I was happy to be a vendor at I {Heart} Handmade, a craft show run by the gals at Second Storie. That's me in the picture on the left, and my friends Pete and Marlene on the right (they are also members of Comix Club). Marlene designed the beautiful poster. They sold some plushies made of silk-screened recycled t-shirts - my favorite was the Recycling Bin - and Pete made awesome silkscreened posters.

The event took place on February 1st at Spot Coffee in Rochester, NY. There were 26 vendors selling handmade wares of jewelry, t-shirts, plushies, pottery, prints, letterpressed cards, and more. It definitely perked up a snowy, slushy February night. I made some special valentine "Love Tokens" for the occasion. Thanks to all who attended, and thanks to Second Storie for putting it all together. Thanks also to Karen, who made vegan gingerbread-chocolate cupcakes with orange-chocolate frosting for all of us. They were the best cupcakes I've ever tasted, and I'm not even a vegan. She was kind enough to share the recipe with me :)
