First Saturday Art Crawl

http://www.nashvilledowntown.com/

This very cool event occurs the first Saturday of every month in Downtown Nashville, TN.  It’s sponsored by the Nashville Downtown Partnership.  People are invited to visit galleries located in the downtown area.  Some of the galleries are located in theaters and and historic landmarks, other galleries are usually open by appointment only.  Many of the galleries schedule their openings to match the Art Crawl and offer free wine and refreshments to visitors. So, in addition to being able to see all kinds of art, have a little wine and some goodies the Art Crawl is a great opportunity to see inside some places you don’t usually get to see – multitasking at its finest!      Over a 1000 people regularly attend this event so it is a great party each month.  he Nashville Downtown Partnership also provides two free shuttles among the galleries making it very accessible even in bad weather.  Shuttle maps are posted on their website each month listing participating galleries as well as the shuttle route.

NCS Renaissance Fair!

Thursday, May 7th, 2009

A while back we were invited to participate in a Ren. Fair at the Nashville Christian School, held in conjunction with their school play, “Much Ado About Nothing.” This is the first year that the school put together such a to-do, and it sounds like it’s likely to become a yearly event. We were eager to join- mostly because we heard there would be turkey legs!!

And there were..

Mmm... Turkey leg! Who wouldn't go to a Ren Fair for that!!

Take a look at our amazing sign! :) That’s right, we’re wearing costumes! Well…pseudo-costumes (they had wrist watches back then, right?)…

Adornments Sign! yes, we used blue tape to hang it..

We were asked to have a semi-working booth so that it would be somewhat educational as well. So Lucinda brought her loom and demonstrated weaving (of course…Laura and I were the mules for this venture…)

Lucinda weaving!

While Laura was hard at work on some new jewelry!

Look at all that bling!

Of course, the biggest problem of the day was the weather… It was rather windy which caused all of our pretties to keep being blown over. So I spent my time (when not eating funnel cakes and roasted corn!) putting every thing back upright.

It's perfect!

It's perfect!

At least, until the rain called an end to the day. In all though, many funnel cakes were had and oohs and aahs abounded! Thanks to NCS for having us!!
