SAY CHEESE

i love this.

A little moonrise kingdom.

A little dirty dancing.

A whole lotta ARTCAMP

Check out this behind the scenes action on one sunny afternoon of CAMP.

Thanks, Karen Coscarelli (of Roam and Home)

WHAT IS ART CAMP?

It started 5 years ago, when my friend Angela Finney (of post27 store) and I started co-hosting a creative retreat for artists at camp. David and I shut off rentals for the weekend and donate the entire use of Camp Wandawega for a few days of inviting our artistic friends & creators to enjoy the great outdoors. For peeks at prior years, search ART CAMP in on A Very ModestCottage. 

ART CAMP 2013

It gets better every year!

wood block printing

sushi making

collaging

music making

button making 

and merry making.

This year we kicked it off on a Thursday-

and crafted, created and collaborated all the way through Sunday departure.

This is my favorite time of year.

We select a curated group of artists who brought their craft to the group and share.

We had illustrators, painters, filmmakers, button makers, sculptors, musicians, graphic designers, furniture designers, industrial designers, photographers and chefs attended and made merry.

Thanks to my partner in crime, Angela Finney for another great year!

A few shots from the weekend:

BROOKLYN LOVE AFFAIR: part two: Moon River Chattel

NEXT! 

We stopped into MOON RIVER CHATTEL,

and (be still my heart).

This is the shop I would have if I could move to Brooklyn and be 25 again.

In love.

Awe and lust with this space and everything in it.

A little bit old school merchantile with 

a lot of amazing things that would not fit into my suitcase :(

We'll  be back soon.
