I have to say this was one of my favorite shows last year! I had a GREAT time, between the wine and the lovely gal in the booth next door. This year its bittersweet for me. Its my only Spring Baltimore City event.
The Highlandtown Wine Festival Committee and Di Pasquale’s Italian Market are gearing up the 8th annual Highlandtown Wine Festival — celebrating the tradition of home winemaking. As usual the event will be held at Our Lady of Pompei Convent Garden on Father Petti Lane (around the corner from Claremont & Conkling Streets). The festival will feature a Homemade Wine Competition, Wine Tastings, a Bocce Tournament, plenty of food and music.
To purchase advanced tickets on-line go to highlandtownwinefestival.eventbrite.com
Now for the fun stuff! Come on by have some wine and check out the wares of my BEST friends.

Yes it’s that time of the year again when you can stroll along in Silver Spring from the Farmer’s Market and head across the street get yourself a made to order crepe or a bag of fresh donuts and shop from some of the area’s indie crafters. Yes I will be there on Saturday 4/30 with some of my old & new BEST friends Namoo, Sugar Paperie, Becca and Mars, and Fuzzy Mug.
Here is a sampling of things you might find from each of them! Go ahead and click on their pictures and shop their lovely wares.
Having a boy who has been OBSESSED with orange for as long as I can remember this quilt is so hard to resist.
Sweet little personalized cards would be a great gift for any girl!
Lemon and Ginger one of my favorite scent combos! I may just have to treat myself to some of this on Saturday!
Who doesn't love roosters? Flour sack towels are the BEST!
So come on down Saturday from 9-3 on the corner of Fenton St & Ellsworth drive!

Wow, Wow, Wow! I’m still somewhat in shock with the move never mind that now 6 weeks after we move to Baltimore I’ll be back here in Baltimore for Artscape! I’m very excited to be sharing a space with the lovely Kolleen from Design by Night . So to say the least the next 12 weeks of my life are going to be a whirlwind between prepping for the move and artscape! After July 19 you are sure to find me lounging poolside with my amazing kids for the rest of the summer at least possibly into the fall!

Phew! Got that out of the way. I think the first show of a season is like that first pancake of the batch when you haven’t made pancakes in a while. It was a BEAUTIFUL day, so people of the neighborhood were out and walking around. It was so great to catch up with some people who remembered me from Merry Mart this past December. All in all a pretty good day, made better by some excellent trades with other vendors. The best part for me was using my banner for the very first time.
