Fells Point Fun Festival Recap

The Fells Point Fun Festival is one of my favorites because it's right in my backyard, which means I get to see oodles of friends from the neighborhood. This year's was another success, even though it was rescheduled to the end of the month because of Hurricane Joaquin in early October.

I had lots of vintage wears in the booth, including bracelets made from antique prison tags, vintage snake chain necklaces and a pendant made from a photo of a gentleman who I found in a Maine antique shop.

I had a great time with all the Byrdie booth visitors, especially this furry guy wearing a bow tie. It was a great festival and I look forward to next year's!

Inspiration

I am a magazine clipoholic. I have binders and binders of clippings, sorted into paper Pinterest boards. One collection is a seasonally-organized section of images and quotes that I peruse for inspiration.

While selling Byrdie wears at The Clover Market in Philly, I came across this wood/metal farm tool. I can't even remember its original purpose; I want to say it was used for chicken feed but I could be making that up. I immediately thought of its new purpose, the magnetic wall hanging for my old photos, quotes worth reading repeatedly as reminders and images of things that make me tick. Here's a shot of my summer board posts, stuck with old bottle caps I'd been saving for something.
