Evil monkeys and ghosts and evil Amish, oh my!
Man, there was a lot of stuff going on this weekend! The City Paper trunk show, the Italian Market Festival, the Kensington Sculpture Derby, the Piazza opening, a big flea at 22nd and Chestnut… it was one of those delightful summer weekends where you can buy funnel cake on every corner and open-container laws are put aside. I only made it to the sculpture derby and Italian Market (and got one of those awesome sunburns where you can see where your necklace was), but I took some pictures in case you missed the derby for one of the myriad things competing for your attention Saturday.
Firstly: I got these yellow owl earrings for $9 at the Trenton Arts Festival from Gretchen Diehl of Birdqueen Designs, and already I’ve gotten more compliments on them from random store clerks and church ladies than every other pair of earrings I own combined. She makes some really nice stuff with a very distinctive look, and it’s extremely affordable. She had this amazing, huge stag necklace with the antlers reaching up to your collarbone that I didn’t end up getting it as I don’t usually have any occasion (or the wardrobe) to wear something that dramatic. But if you like drama, keep checking out her store to see if she posts it.
