Back for our third year, the Sexy Trippy Holiday Art Market burns bright with booths by new friends, artists and olde-time favorites. For the first time ever we will be hosting two events. One will be in Chapel Hill on our rooftop (Sat 12/3) and the other will be held the following day at Lump in Raleigh (Sun 12/4). This year’s offerings represent a variety of limited edition and handmade products and artwork. Stuff your own stockings with fun stuff like realistic ceramic cigarettes, poetry books, goth-inspired jewelry, flint-knapped knives, painted clothing, cryptic t-shirts, and beautifully printed risographs and screenprints. We’ll have live music and hope to see a lot of friends.

Now in Durham: we have a selection of books of Baltic & otherwise European origin, now available for sale at EUtopia Design pop up shop (118 W. Parrish St) downtown. Please go check out this cool & unique shop specializing in Polish crystal, glassware & decorative objects opened by Marta Brassil. Open Tuesday thru Saturday 12-6pm.
I am celebrating this fall, 5 years of a sole proprietorship that is called The Concern ! Please use discount code FIVEYEARSOLD at checkout on the web store for 15 % off all orders, valid through October 31. What started as a postpartum web store project has taken me through quite a turbulent 5 years in the world, the latter few feeling pretty alienating somehow, but it's been interesting to say the least. It's been a way to connect with people in the local community & internationally in terms of buying, selling & the sharing of mutual interests. I really appreciate those of you who appreciate what I do & have taken notice. And here's to continuing on!
