We took the Philadelphia Open Studio Tours, POST, a program of The Center for Emerging Visual Artists. The tour is throughout many neighborhoods in the city.

Franklin Flea Market

The Franklin Flea at Head House Square in Philadelphia over the weekend was all about recycle, reuse, re-purpose and handmade. It was a beautiful day to rummage through the spaces and get ideas. From bookbinding to redesigned antique furniture to handmade shoes. It proved that creativity is alive and well. I am looking forward to the next one. Franklin Flea
