Junkstock Omaha Nebraska!

It's been a long road (literally) here to Omaha, Nebraska!

This adventure would not be possible without my dear friend and business mentor-Amy ,owner of the Pink Attic Cat.

A big thank you to Greg, Amy's husband who drove the truck with a very large trailer and who went shopping to get me more supplies to create a booth I am very happy with.

A huge thanks to my husband who is taking a combination of time off and working from home to take care of our 13 year old son Alex. My daughter Laura is finishing up her 4 week summer session at CSU.

Finally a heartfelt thank you to my friends Gail and Carla who drove Alex to/from Band and soccer practice this week!

I don't think I have ever worked so hard to create a booth that I hope best represents my work and me.

It's been 2 long days working in hot conditions but now that I have 2 large fans plus a personal one by my checkout table - it's much better!

My booth is in the Stables.

May- A Paris Street Market

The weather was perfect this past Saturday,

right up till the market closed at 3.

Then it got cloudy. David and Alex helped me load the u-haul van as it started to rain. Just before I collapsed the canopy tent, a strong wind gust hit. Thankfully both David and I were holding the canopy so it stayed in place. Thankfully all my inventory was packed before the rain arrived.

I will be a vendor at A Paris Street Market June- September and October. Here is the Market info I posted on Instagram last week

Grateful for my husband David who once again helped me setup. Alex and David also came after Alex's soccer game to bring me lunch. Enjoyed visiting with my friends -Amy of the Pink Attic Cat, Dale and Peggy, and Carla & Hannah.

Bike Flour Sack Tea Towels

One of my favorite techniques is Sewing Illustration.

I've created tea towels using this technique.

Last year I made and sold out of all my camper tea towels.

Earlier this year I created tea towels with houses and blue ball jars with flowers.

I have many ideas on other tea towels I want to create.

They all take time to develop- create a pattern and a technique as to how create it.

One of those ideas is to create a bike tea towel.

I finally accomplished it and I am happy with the results.

Like the mix media inspired girl Mantra pillows, I used vintage crochet flowers. Mini crochet flowers in the bike basket.
