It's official, the $5 art party is back for First Friday this April!!  So come dance your ass off and take in the cheap art love friday, April 2nd.  We can't wait to see all your pretty faces!

'twas quite the party...

This must be said...if you were not at the $5 art party last friday then you seriously missed out!  It was by far the best parties so far and just makes us that much more excited for the next time! (we have been hearing rumors of making this a monthly event...so perfect!) As always there were some truly talented artists and crafters who brought the most amazing goodies to sell.  Benny went a little crazy trading our art for theirs but we could not be happier with our new arty treasures!  Check out all of our scores...

ceramic keys we just couldn't live without...

Kelly woke up with a really bad stomach flu and was not able to make it out to the city for Remake's Holiday Gift Fair.  Our bummer should no be yours, so if your in the city stop on by remake lounge at the Crocker Galleria and shop local for all the holiday goodies!!

Kelly and I are really bummed that remake will be missing out on our donation to them today.  Because we don't think anyone else should suffer along with us, we will be donating 30% of all our online sales from this weekend (12.03 - 12.05) to the Remake Lounge!  Best of all the donation will help fund their very amazing public programs!!  Kelly and i will also be posting new lovely styles for you to shop over the next two days!

THURSDAY...remake holiday craft fair!

We are super stoked to be spending our day tomorrow in the city at the Remake Lounge Holiday Craft Fair!  The fair is being held at the lounge, conviently located in the Crocker Galleria (downtown san francisco).  30% of all proceeds we make will be donated back to the Remake Lounge to help fund their public programs, including a centrally-located comfy space with tools, materials, inspiration, and a community in which to work on your projects!  Come shop us and lots of other awesome locals tomorrow for all your gifting needs...

DNA pop-up shop!

Sadly with all the excitement of our past week, benny and I could not make it down for When You Awake's Neil Young Tribute tonight.  But that doesn't mean all our LA friends can't go and enjoy plenty of awesome music and good people!!

What do you do when your broke but love the art of your very talented friends?  Well Brisa, Mike, Megan, Lucas & Deanna decided the only solution is to throw a $5 dollar art party!!  If your wondering what exactly a $5 dollar art party is, think awesome house party mixed with a low cost ($5 limit) art and craft show.  benny and I are thrilled to be joining in the festivities with our temporary tattoos and beer cozies. So come join in all the fun, meet some good people, have a beer and spoil yourself with some awesome art!

fashion feud

We recently found out about this sweet event called fashion feud and we are loving the concept!  At the event, two designers face off with a bag of unknown fabric, their sewing machines and a model.  Each designer has one hour to come up with and create an awesome new style!  Think project runway compressed into one hour.  And for the added entertainment  of the crowd there will be a bunch of vendors (us included!) selling their amazing goods.  Come experience this creative battle for yourself, tomorrow night at Mighty in the city!



When:  september 29th 7pm - 10pm (duel starts at 8pm)
Where:  Mighty 119 utah st, san francisco

Dueling Artists:  Alexandria Von Bromseen & Ashton Miyako
Vendors: daisy vintage, J. Prince Dash, Judy Indy, Kate Moore, Kue King, Laura Ellington, Project Transaction, Rigged Outfit
