mogo in philly

ann and dabney returned on monday night with a lighter car, thanks to the hardy shoppers of philadelphia who braved rain and wind on saturday to attend the art star craft bazaar. despite the bad weather on day one, it was a successful weekend. many thanks go out to megan and erin, the owners of the art star boutique and organizers of the fair. their store is super cute, and, after this weekend, mogo goods can be found there! ann and dabney couldn't be more thrilled.

ann and dabney worked the previous week to improve the look of the mogo display. last year at mogo's debut, it was simply some items piled on a table under a tent. this year... violá!... a banner, labels, price tags, posters, acrylic pedestals... what a difference a year can make. and look! mogo even takes credit cards!

undoubtedly, one of the highlights of their spectacular weekend was meeting joy of oh joy! fame, one of their favorite blogs. if you haven't already, you should check out her blog. it is filled with great inspiration and fun (and always colorful) stuff.

oh joy
isn't joy cute? if you go to her blog, tell her congratulations, because she is getting married really soon...

kristina
kristina, mogo's neighbor on the left. you can find her at junebug in jamaica plain this weekend. a & d promise she's really nice and, not to mention, very talented.

jennifer, of fresh popcorn productions, on the right. a & d were loving her silkscreened t-shirts, and had to fight the urge to buy a really cute one with paper clips.

rebecca & george of bakesale designs
the very sweet rebecca (and boyfriend george!) from bakesale designs. rebecca's bags were bright and cheerful. it took great pains for ann to stop herself from buying (and spending newly-earned mogo money) a wristlet featuring a silkscreened mustache.

annie & steve of imogene.org
ahh... the very styling annie and steve of new on-line boutique imogene. imogene has a wonderfully-curated selection of handmade items - perfect for thoughtful gift giving.

So great! Your booth looks gorgeous.

Did you see people from Etsy there? I know that PEST (Philadelphia Etsy Street Team) had a booth. Someone was passing out some of my cards & was sporting one of my plastic bag bags!

And, hello, can Joy have prettier skin?

we know that etsy was indeed there. we saw people carrying their postcards. however, dabney and i strategically visited the booths of vendors we know and that's it. there is just too much cute stuff at these things and we are too trigger-happy with the wallet, if ya know what i mean.

yes, joy has beautiful skin, but can you explain why our heads are so much bigger than hers? (we mean that in the literal sense, of course.)
