sooooo…. i feel like i’m home for the first time all month. (i heard a rumour it’s april?!) however, as of may 1, this won’t be “home” anymore because we’re moving!

we’ll still be in greenville, sc, but we’re buying a home that will allow both my husband and i studio space. so that’ll be interesting. (& maybe i’ll get to buy those shiny pink wireless headphones at target after all…. bwahaha.)

so last weekend i was in chattanooga, tn for the 4 bridges arts festival.

i love the 4bridges arts festival for two main reasons:
1. the venue is covered, so no matter the weather, patrons and collectors can shop rain-free and
2. indoor plumbing! (as in, i don't have to flag down a show volunteer and wait in line at a port*o*potty when i need a quick getaway.... i don't know if this is a big deal to you, but as an artist, it's kinda great to have real restrooms at a 3-day outdoor show!!) ;D

4bridges is also a pretty art-savvy crowd, and i sold two original faerie tale feet paintings this weekend-- which means i need to make more!! (er, soon*ish. working on it!)

& just in time for thoughts of fluffy bunnies and spring blooms, i wanted to share a coupon code with you! use coupon code SPRING at halthegal.etsy.com and save $1 off of anything you fancy!!
