Constructor Recap

heya!

sorry it took so long for me to get back to you with news of Kate's visit to the Constructor Craft Fair in Berwyn, Il. miss kate has been super busy this week editing for her other job and wasn't in the mood for sharing the computer. lame.

anyways. so it sounds like kate had a super awesome time at the Constructor Fair (with the exception to the heat) and looks forward to hopefully attending again in the future. It was her first time going to a fair without a helper which made her super nervous. but her friend, Danni, from *innad* was super nice and had them put their booths near each other so they could help each other out if they needed breaks.

side note - she was also informed by some of her friends, Jennifer and Justin, who live in Berwyn that the movie Adventures in Babysitting had a scene filmed at the very bar the fair was at. AMAZING!

anyways. Here are some photos she took from her booth. she was outside under a super cool looking tent.

while she was there she also did a little bit of shopping/trading, too. (although she came back with nothing for me - not cool). here are some of the awesome finds she got:

a super-cool hot dog pin from mr. walters of nerfect

a much-needed checkbook cover from her booth neighbor, *innad*

and an awesome tiger onesie from Sheriff Peanut that she claims is for one of her friends' baby. but it seems to fit me just fine. i may hide this one from her and keep it for myself.

Kate and Jay's Tennessee Road Trip Adventures

hey ya'll!

sorry it's been forever since i've written. i've been on vacation for the last week at miss kate funk's parent's house in northern wisconsin. kate's mom just drove me home tonight and i got to hear all about kate and mister jay's amazing trip to Tennessee for Chatty Crafty.

they started out with the longest drive in the world across 6 states (although I guess they were only in Georgia for a few minutes before the highway looped back into Tennessee). out of the whole drive it sounds like they Louisville was their favorite stop. here are some photos of them at Doc Crow's - a super amazing restaurant with amazing food to match.

they eventually got to the show which took place in Chattanooga, TN. I hear it is the most beautiful city. they didn't have any photos of it to show me, but I guess Jay took some video that hopefully I'll get to see and share with you guys later. anyways, here are some photos from kate's booth.

everything went awesome with the show with the exception to some weather problems. about 2 hours before the show should have ended on the last day they were given a warning that a huge storm was on the way and they needed to evacuate immediately. luckily, their hotel was only a block away. Jay ran all of the important things to their room just in time and missed getting poured on. miss Kate wasn't so lucky. she stayed behind to take the tent and tables down. by the time jay returned her and everything with her was soaked.

here's a photo of her once they got back to the hotel room. (she wasn't very happy (also because jay neglected to tell her until they got in the room that her clothes had become see-through from the rain)).

anyways - so once the show was over they took their time on the way back making sure to stop at some roadside attractions. here are some of the photos they shared with me.

Unraveled DIY Festival

heya!

so miss kate funk returned this Sunday night from her weekend in Minnesota at the Unraveled DIY Festival (which i hear she had an awesome time) - and she brought me presents! her booth neighbor was Marvelous Melissa who makes some amazing cat toys. i got some darn! socks. according to the packaging they are made from recycled old holey socks and filled with organic catnip, some recycled crinkly plastic, pistachio shells, and pop bottle stuffing. they are by far my new favorite toy. go check 'em out!

new cards!

heya! so we just got some brand spankin' new cards finished yesterday! check em': AC's a Good Ole Boy and AC Rocks Out. they're available now on kate funk's Etsy site.

Dragonfly

guess what?

as of this last weekend there is another Milwaukee (our favoritest town in the world) location where you can find our cards - Dragonfly on Brady! it's a super cute store on the East Side owned by miss Annette. I wasn't lucky enough to go check it out, but Kate told me all about how nice she was, how awesome the store was, and that there is even a super cute dog named PeeWee that hangs out in there all day long! she even did some shopping while she was dropping the cards off there for our upcoming hipster photo shoot. we now have loads of little me-sized records (since we all know how the hipsters love their records).

anyways - if you live in the Milwaukee area or are visiting make sure to go check it out.
