Tomorrow I’ll be driving north to spend Thanksgiving with family and participate in the Celebration of Craftswomen, a fund-raising event for The Women’s Building in San Francisco, which is the first women-owned community center in the U.S. Funds raised at the Celebration of Craftswomen support the work of this multi-cultural community center where women and girls achieve self-sufficiency and pursue their dreams.

If you are in the Bay Area this weekend come by my temporary domicile, booth 621! This digi postcard gives you a dollar off admission.

Pomegranates and gourds adorned the tables at Otherwild as bags were dyed shades of brown and yellow between sips of Eden’s Douglas Fir and Sage Barberry soda.

Our table of brewing, stewing pots and totes and to the left, a flash of Veronica's sneaker for accent. Cute Nico and her bag: half eucalyptus/half goldenrod with neat stripes! Etta- the most clever dyer of the day! Andrea and Etta inspect the reveal. ]]> http://ashleythayer.com/archives/758/feed 0 Keep Company + Animal Collective Collaboration http://ashleythayer.com/archives/754 http://ashleythayer.com/archives/754#comments Tue, 25 Sep 2012 16:37:41 +0000 Ashley Thayer http://ashleythayer.com/?p=754
