it's been a Rosetta kind of weekend!

And a delightful weekend it is! I just finished uploading some photos from weekend fun, and realized one of the nice threads running through it...

Friday after hitting some of the First Friday openings, friends and I ended up at Rosetta's Kitchen for dinner...and it was good.

Saturday, after streaming through Lexington Bazaar and Howard Street Handmade's Craft Sale & Swap, I managed to get some work done at the studio before attending MANNA FoodBank's annual Blue Jean Ball ... where much to my delight I find THE Rosetta, with Jack dishing out generous helpings of the Family Favorite...and it was good.

And this morning, before opening the studio and getting back into the clay, I streamed through the inaugural People's Market, hosted by the afore-mentioned Rosetta herself, surrounded by an army of young helpers dishing out lemonade and other yummy goodness from the Rosetta's Kitchen, conveniently located right across the street.

A beautiful day for a Market, and the people were just arriving as I was there early, but it already looks like it's going to be a favorite Asheville Sunday tradition!

Asheville Street Markets is buzzing!

Just in time to show off our shiny new logo, MountainXpress has a lovely feature about Asheville Street Markets in THE BUZZ this week!

A million thanks just don't begin to express all of our gratitude to Suzy Millions for her support in helping us create not only our logo, but also a hip rack card that's soon to be somewhere near you.

And all this times perfectly with LOTS of activity in the world of Asheville Street Markets this weekend!

Smart workshops for those artsy and crafty start the day at Howard Street Handmade: learn how to take better pictures of your work, learn a new craft, and later that afternoon the fun continues with a craft sale and swap that features incredible materials, supplies and equipment. click the image for more info at the blog.

And Lexington Bazaar is back, in the downtown courtyard on Lexington Avenue, and in addition to more great art, craft and design offered to you by the makers, you can again find yummy crepes and frites from Bouchon, and music by Ras Berhane of Chrystal Kind! click this image for more info and details.

And it doesn't end there! Sunday is the inaugural event for the Asheville People's Market!! It's the flea-market style place to buy art, crafts, and homemade items from Asheville artists as well as bartering for and haggling over for yard sale items, lost treasures and other peoples un-loved functionals. And did you know the whole thing is a fundraiser? click the image and get more details at the blog, and if you're looking to make a find, or if you're looking to make a sale or trade, go down there on Sunday!


I'll be buzzing around to each event before hitting the studio, but won't be able to linger as we have weekend hours and our own fun with clay, so if you're venturing out this weekend, be sure to hit one of these fabulous events...and then come by the studio and let me know what you found!
