The Shopping Extravaganza at Art Unraveled 2011
Had a ball today at the Shopping Extravaganza! Met a Facebook friend in person -- Jen Cushman. Saw all the friends I set out to see: Jack and Cat Curio, Tricia Samsal, Shirley the Artsy Fartsy Fairy, and Jennifer and Wendy of Mystic Paper.
Lesley, me and Mike. Haven't seen them in ages! Was so good to see them and catch up!
This is Thomas Ashman of New Mexico. I loved his dollies! He calls them Dollies de Los Muertos. Frankly, I think they are a vast improvement on Catrina who is a favorite of celebrants of Dia de Los Muertos.
He told me they were Goodwill finds he decorated! Loved them!
Loved this Magnolia Pearl outfit. She was so busy talking that I didn't have a chance to talk to her myself. She makes beautiful scarves to go with slip dresses. Of course, I LOVED the Magnolia Pearl outfit.
Longest stretch Hummer limo I have ever seen! You could get lost in there!
My only purchase! I bought this from Karen Lackey of Starshine Salon. Karen is a fellow dealer in Merchant Square. I had no idea she was into the artsy stuff. This form is going into my booth as a display piece. She is covered with white burlap and weighted at the bottom so she won't fall over. I see jewelry on her. I see decorated corsets on her -- although she may be too small for that. We shall see and I promise to share!

Art Unraveled Shopping Extravaganza
Art Unraveled (AU) has been going on all week at the Embassy Suites Hotel in Phoenix. Today was their Shopping Extravaganza. I have been to this shopping day for the last three years. This one did not disappoint! Although I didn't think there were as many vendors as in years past. Still, lots of good stuff!! 
My first stop was at Vintage Charmings. I believe this was a new vendor and teacher, Kate Murray, at AU. Lovely French things! Their business card says authentic French ephemera and they have a lot of that! I loved the bathing beauties, the French lady postcards and the pretty game pieces. I especially loved the old French books! Very vintage, very old.
Next stop -- Hannah Grey Curiosities. Wonderful findings!! I got pieces of vintage wall paper, rusty screen and wire, gears and tiny plastic guns. The guns are for a future Annie Oakley class at Mystic Paper.
S.A.G.E. Crafts from Sedona was just outside of the door to the main vendor room. They had beautiful handmade papers and other things for mixed media art. I found these bags of unusual trims.
I got these beautiful fabric scraps from Materials Matter. They were inside the small vendor room. Loads of fabric, vintage papers, hankies, etc. The vendor's name tag said "Judy B." so from there on we had a great conversation! I love these pieces of barkcloth and the pound bag of vintage printed ephemera!
I could not resist this banner by Tracie Lyn Huskamp! How clever to use old photo album pages as the pieces for the banner! This close up shows you the pictures (taken from an old book) and the glitter letters. This will hang in my kitchen studio area!
Saw lots of friends there! Kim and The Peddler, Mike and Leslie (Jack & Cat Curio), Jo Berneche, Becky of Heart in Hand, two students (whose names I cannot remember but I recognized them), Bett who does whacky art work that is great!, Jen Osborne who does great things with old photos printed on transparency and mounted on felt, Shirley from Artsy Fartsy Fairy (love her funky artwork!), Charlotte -- a fellow ATC swapper, Josie Ciccicone, and others!
