Day 2!!!!
Come cook to death with me at Art at the Park - Appleton, WI today until 4 🥰💃🔥

Hiiiiiii!!!
Art at the Park - Appleton, WI
IS TOMORROW 😍🤩

I haven’t done this show in years, back when it was just a one day-er, but it was PACKED with great art. I remember bringing my trailer with 101 flowers in it and came home with just a few 🥲

If you are in the Appleton, Oshkosh, Green Bay, even Milwaukee area or center of the state, I bet you won’t be disappointed if you come…I brought some really great window frame pieces and a couple huge flowers too 😘

RENEGADE CHICAGO 😍😍😍

I had the BEST time meeting so many new friends, collectors, and art people…the talent of everyone there was seriously so incredible 🥲

Thank you to everyone that made purchases with me this weekend and having the bravery to take the blue line with a giant wire flower on their lap 😂

I was by myself so I didn’t really get an opportunity to walk around and talk to many of the other artists there which I’m kind of bummed about but what I was able to see art-wise was so inspiring and unique 🥰

It was my first time in Chicago and everyone was so welcoming and kind, I can’t wait to come back someday hopefully soon!

Shout out to my neighbors Bumble Ceramics for yapping with me and selling flowers for me while I quickly ran to grab some food 😅 Also my friend Rarity Collective that co-owns The Umbrella Vintage came to see me and check on me 🥰 GO PATRONIZE THESE NICE PEOPLE AND I MEAN THIS IN THE COMMERCE SENSE AND NOT THE CONDESCENDING DEFINITION ❤️

The miniest of photo dumps:
1. Photo evidence of me being able to still parallel park
2. Jerry bought me a Milwaukee Tool portable fan for my birthday and I honestly think I would have died if I didn’t have it on Saturday 🥵
3. A large tri-colored beech in someone’s landscape I was very jealous of because I haven’t been able to find a local one to plant for my own 🙄😑

Back at it this weekend at Art at the Park - Appleton, WI Summer art shows are in full swing 🙂

Renegade Craft

Leave it up to me to completely switch up my tent set up on basically the eve of a big event 😅

Seeing how well these mesh shade tarps work for me this weekend in Chicago at Renegade Craft…I always struggle with my tent walls on windier days because my walls aren’t breathable so they want to act as a sail and hold all the wind back 😓 SO I’M CROSSING MY FINGERS THAT THESE WILL BE MORE FORGIVING AND LESS STRESSFUL 🤞

Got them “relaxing” outside right now, hopefully it will loosen some of the creases out 🤷‍♀️

So basically I’m SHRIEKING that I was accepted to this epic event 😍 Renegade Craft
My first time in Chicago other than passing through to get to my Holland show 🥲

I’ll try attaching the website link so you can see all the other uber cool artists because, honestly when I was looking through them, I was actually blown away 😲🤩😍

I’m feeling like a superstar that I was selected out of the gigantic pile of creatives that applied for this show 🌟
