Whats New

A couple of creative friends have joined the space. So now custom framing, laminating, and plaque mounting are available - this service is provided by Denise DePencier. Or you can get things for the doggies in your life - provided by Paula aka Bark 'N' Up The Green Tree.

Movember

For the month of November otherwise known as 'MOVEMBER' buy a mustache on a stick. All proceeds will go to a local charity which helps in the awareness of Men's Health. Still researching which. Looks like I shall have to go over to the health unit and ask some questions.
So remember to support Men's Health Awareness and buy a mustache on a stick. Or you could grow one but I know I would rather not take such drastic measures ;0).

Holly and I have been busy cutting, glueing and making glitter fly. The floors at the store are sparkling.

Three prices ranges are available $2(basic felt mustache on a pencil), $5(felt mustache with glitter one side and the other plain), $10 a much more elaborate creation(either wire or faux fur).

Mustaches will be available at Frayed, Sand 'N' Sea, Starlet Boutique and Coffee Cravings. Pick one up I know you want to.

Work, Work,Work

Holly working on some wings for a collaborative piece she is working on with an artist friend who does work with gourds.
What was laying in front of me. All the pieces for some new coffee sleeves - made from coffee bags, felted wool and vintage buttons. So your coffee can have a cardigan.

We have both been trying to also get ready for our guest artist spots in the Tweed and Area Studio Tour. We will be at the home/studio of Maureen Walton a mural artist in Lonsdale. New clothing and jewelry designs that weekend(Oct 1 &2).

Accessorize Me or at least my hair

Have been busy adding to our selection of headbands. We also have new hair barrettes and of course some fascinators.

Legggs!!!!

What a great set of legs. Managed to get our hands on three mannequins which need a little TLC.

Which meant we now have some great legs to help with the display of our funky knee hi's in stock. Both Holly and I luv them and they are comfy. Though we are both coveting some other designs so another order may be due soon. Presently we have 10 designs available.

The rest of the mannequins needed a bit more TLC so I guess I shall have to get busy scrubbing and painting soon. But I really like the idea of giving them a new life.

Also for news the Under The Sea Exhibition is up and will be up until the 22nd. So if you are downtown make sure you check out the artwork. It can been seen at Sand N' Sea, Starlet Shoes, Total Aquatics, Napanee Business Centre and of course Frayed Around The Edges. We have 17 different artists participating.

Funky Sox

We received a wonderful box of colourful funky sox/Knee-Hi's in. We luv them hope you do too.

Trash Art Challenge

The submissions are in and I think they are great. As always I would luv more participation but our challenges are starting to become wider known. And hey we are getting things from people I don't know Yeeaahh!

Hope these challenges just keep growing.

The next one is themed Under The Sea - any medium welcome. The deadline for this one is June 30th with them being displayed from July 6 to 22.

After that it is THRIFT STORE TREASURES - Alter or convert a thrift stor find into a piece of artwork which will be treasured in this era. Before pictures would be great also. Deadline August 13th.
