vacation

I'm off for a much-needed vacation. I just finished packing the car and am waiting for the snoring monster in my bedroom to arise. I can't wait. We're going to Seal Rock in Oregon for a relaxing 5 days. It's been months since I was able to get away and it will be even more months before I have a break again. I plan to sip red wine and knit all day. I did remember to pack the camera. Hopefully I'll remember to use it. Then I will tackle the challenge of getting the photos out of it and happily shared with you.

Cheers,
Anna

Inspiration

I've been inspired. One of my knit-group friends has a lovely blog (and once I figure out how to insert links) and bloggy friends, and I want to be bloggy, too. I don't have much time, or much sense of purpose, but I think it will be a good challenge. I'm also not great with photos so it will be pretty plain looking for a while. I hope to post at least twice a week for eight weeks. We'll see...

Greetings all!

This weekend is the 41st annual U-District Street Fair! This two-day ten-block event is the first big street fair in the area. It is one of my favorite fairs to participate in, and everyone always has a great time.

The Anna Perrone Designs booth will be set up in it the same place as previous years: on the east side of University Ave, just south of 50th (where it is easier to find parking), in front of Rudy's Barbershop. I will have a bunch of new jewelry designs, and even more new knitwear. I've been feverishly knitting Armies (fingerless gloves) and stretchy adjustable headbands. The newest addition to the Armies line-up are Prince and Princess gauntlets and Wonder Woman-esque wrist cuffs.

The fair runs 10am-7pm Saturday and 10am-6pm Sunday. Keep in mind that every piece is one-of-a-kind so shop early for the best selection. Get more details about the fair at www.udistrictstreetfair.org. Be sure to say "hi" to other Fremont faves: Candle Jim and Krissy from Orangebox Jewelry. They will be set up on the same block.

Mention this email and receive a free hand-made key fob. I hope to see you this weekend,

Anna
