Hey everyone!! Happy Friday. It has been a bit crazy over here, as you probably noticed by the lack of a Friday post last week. Last weekend our very good friends, Summer and Patrick were in town from California for their Buffalo wedding reception. It was really fun to just spend the entire weekend with them and their families and to celebrate their marriage again!
A couple of weeks ago we found out that we (Hero Design Studio) got accepted into an art and craft fair in DC, Crafty Bastards, on the weekend of November 10th and since we have a craft fair, Renegade Craft Fair, scheduled the following weekend in Brooklyn, we decided it made sense to just book our schedule full of different events in between and stay on the road, versus driving all the way home and then turning around again and heading back to the coast. More on all of that in a later post, but for now we are dealing with the craziness of going on the road for 10 days and getting all of the work done beforehand that needs to get done. Plus, we have had a rush of house showings this week, which has been great for obvious reasons, but it has made getting all the work we need to get done before we go, even harder. So it has been a bit hectic over here, to say the least, we didn’t even get to celebrate Halloween, we had a showing and then we spent the rest of the evening working. We have a pretty full schedule until we hit the road next Friday, a week from today, but don’t worry I have some really fun stuff planned for you while I am gone, stay tuned.
What have you been up to lately? Did you do anything fun for Halloween?
Seri being all cute.
A brand new Halloween print we made for this year, available here.
A cactus-eyed view of Allentown from Cantina Loco.
A new shirt I designed for Modern Nostalgia that we printed last week.
My sweet orange boy, Jpeg.
My favorite thing about the cooler weather is getting to wear fun patterned tights like these.
Spend all of last weekend hanging with our besties, Summer and Patrick. Such a great weekend!
I made a big huge pot of chicken and vegetable noodle soup on Monday while we waited for the possible arrival of Sandy.
Feeling pretty lucky that some wind and rain, and a small amount of power outages is the worst of what we received here on our side of New York state. Meanwhile there are people just a few short hours away that lost everything, their homes, their neighborhoods and some so much worse. So much devastation. That Mother Nature is one cruel, cruel B*tch! If you can, donate to the American Red Cross, your monetary donation can aid in their efforts to help those in need at this time of crisis.
From the Tasty Yummies blooper reel. This is what happens when you still have strong winds and you attempt to take your food blog photos outside! Wah wah, somehow I did get a shot before the wood back drop fell and spilled it everywhere. (see this coming Monday’s post)
A little sneak at a brand new print we designed and printed for Fawn & Fox Salon.
My sweet niece Teagan went as sushi for halloween this year. Couldn’t you just eat her up…. hehe! My sis, Vicky made the whole costume herself, complete with a cute little chopsticks, wasabi and ginger hair piece. GAH!

i am seriously FREAKING OUT right now. I work in DC, and am going to do my very besty bestest to come to craft bastards and see youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu. omg
also, your niece is killer cute as sushi, holy moly; best costume ever
Haha Allie, your comment just made my WHOLE day!! I love it!! Yes, please please do come by and see us. I have never been to this event before, so we are very excited.
We are staying right in Arlington, so any food and or yoga suggestions you can make for that area and DC are definitely welcomed! Thanks again for your lovely comment and I look forward to meeting you!
3 days to gooooooooooooooooooo
Unfortunately, I live on the MD side, and I the only time I’ve been to Arlington is driving through it to go somewhere else and I tend to avoid DC proper at all costs. The fact that I am excited about a day in which I must venture into the city should say a lot to you. I am however positively optimistic you will find some amazing places to eat/yoga though, as people tell me frequently about amazing places in DC/VA and I promptly forget about them because I don’t live there.
See you on Saturday!!! YAAAAAAY
haha I love that you are countin down Allie! I will officially be excited tomorrow when I am in the car and on the way there. Yeh I am thinking finding yoga and yummy food should’t be too hard. See you Saturday Allie!
It was great to meet you this morning! So glad I hit you guys up when I did, as the place just seemed to get more and more packed. I had a great time, but I imagine all the vendors are whooped after being so busy all day. I am sooo excited about the prints I picked up and can’t wait to get them framed and hung in my craft room. BTW, photos do not do Mark’s ‘stache justice, he’s just too cool 🙂 Hope you enjoy the rest of your time in my neck of the woods!
i meant crafty…stupid keyboard…
also, if you can bring an extra “not all who wander” print i will buy that bad boy from you in person, since, while i never got around to actually purchasing it, i really do think it belongs on my wall…i’m still freaking out. this is better than christmas and halloween rolled into one big day of super awesomeness!
you guys are such an inspiration! i go to fawn and fox but i had to miss the party due to work.. it always gets in the way! i need that halloween poster! i miss Seri, Luna and I never see her much at houghton park anymore…
Thanks so much Kerrylynn! Fawn & Fox is great right? Such good friends of ours!! Seri has been going to the park at odd times, with the shift in daylight, and our busier work schedile, but she has still been going every day! She wouldn’t have it any other way.
