Here are some pics from the event:

Here’s our booth set up, so spacious and colorful!  We even had a changing room in the back.

The plastic raincape from our in-house line was a hit!  The gold stripes were drawn by hand with gold enamel marker.

Our friend Jess from Unparagoned Models Inc. stopped by and bought our in-house harem pants!

Margaret got an in-house hand silkscreened polka-dot skirt and our raincape!

A happy customer with our in-house molecula bloomers.

LUNCH!

By the last day of Artscape, most of our inventory had sold.  Note all the shirts missing from our display!

We couldn’t have survived Artscape without our best friend Cassie.  Thank you for all your help!

Make sure to like us on Facebook!

Here are some pics from the weekend.

We had all three lines out for sale.

We got a bubble machine for the booth, which little kids really enjoyed.

The reworked vintage skirts, selling for ONLY $24 were a hit!

Fellow designer Virginia, of Deda & Young, stopped by to say hi.  She was a tad taller than we remembered.

We worked with Rowe’s producer, Jesse Jackson, from Dark Plant Records for the photo shoot as well.

Jesse and Emily Li Mandri (owner/designer of Natty Paint) found inspiration for the shoot from vintage clothes.

Sherell Rowe is wearing a one of a kind bathing suit that has been altered to make a low neckline. The one piece is adorned with a vintage brooch and the shoulder pieces were constructed from vintage sequins as well.

Tim Coburn was the photographer for the photo shoot. He did an amazing job making Sherell Rowe look stunning in her vintage bathing suit.
