craftland recap

ann and dabney are happy to report that saturday's craftland was a success and worth the drive down to providence for the day.

did you know that everyone in providence, rhode island knows each other? almost without fail, a person would walk in the door, immediately identify someone they knew, and run off to chat. as a result, ann and dabney couldn't shake the feeling of being the new kids in school. pushing their glasses back up their noses, they sat quietly with their cafeteria trays in the swirling midst of hugging, laughing people.

as one person said, there is a lot of "craft love" in providence (she also said it was so small that she had run out of people to have sex with, but that's her issue, isn't it?)

but some cool kids did come over to chat. in particular, ann and dabney loved the folks from if'n books and marks. erica from coffee drinker and teresa from sewing stars were our booth neighbors, along with derek and his funky salt & pepper shakers on the other side.

I love Providence. It's like Boston, Jr.

Glad you got some "craft love" of your own!
