Flying Fox Items Donated to Art Auction & Raffle!
February 28, 2009
Mew Gallery has become an important community hub for artists and crafters in the Philly area. Not only do they hold art exhibits and consign w/ tons of fabulous independent super-talented folks, they also serve as a meeting spot for Philly Etsy Team monthly meetings and events including Craftadelphia. When we were preparing for the Philly Sewing Collective’s Swap-a-rama-rama, Mew allowed us to set up tables and sewing machines which enabled us to work as a team to sew the goodie bags we gave out.
Once a year, Mew holds a Fundraiser. Now you might wonder why a for-profit organization would be having a fund-raiser but have you ever wondered why there aren’t more fabulous places just like Mew? Well one of the many reasons would be utilities and another is rent. Seriously…I want to be sure these guys are here for another year, because they in turn help to ensure that the Philly Etsy Team and all the independent artists in this community have a place to sell their glorious goods and a place to meet year round. So if you are in the area, please consider stopping by so that you can help support local arts and join us for the fun.
When: March 3, 2009 from 6 to 10 pm
Where: South Philly Tap Room, 1509 Mifflin Street, Philadelphia
What: Beer specials, silent auction, raffle, djs, dancing, and general merriment.

These little guys are finger puppets. But that’s not all. They can be tucked inside your pockets, and they also like to hang out on your desks and tables. (They stand up by themselves.)
Thing-a-Day 2009
February 10, 2009
Thing-a-day is a month long project; each participant commits to make one new thing (project, sketch, etc.) per day and share it on the group blog. This is my first year participating. So far, so good…I’ve got 9 posts under my belt. The daily posting is a bit time consuming, but I signed up bc I hoped this would motivate me to be more productive and I think it has. Here are a few links to see my contributions and to see the entire blog. A few members from the Philly Etsy Team are also participating. Here are links to their posts: Jen McCleary, Girls Can Tell, Miss Koco, RedRedOrange, MaryJo Rosania, Studio Captura & Sqrl & Bee Studio.
