Chopped for Charity!!



In lieu of our NEXT SQUISH ART MARKET on OCTOBER 24th ( Visit www.squishartmarket.com for more info!) - I just wanted to take a minute to talk quickly about a great charity that I'm sure you've heard of! 

 Locks of Love helps sick children who have all sorts of diseases that are causing them to lose their hair - get wigs made up specifically for them.  These wigs are made of donations that are sent from all over the world.  The process starts by taking a cast mold of the child's head - then from that mold, a plastic one is made - and sent back to the family.  The child tests to make sure that one fits.  From there the child picks out the color of hair they desire - and from that point the wig masters will blend all different colors of highlights and low-lights, to create a natural looking head of hair.  It takes one month to produce the actual wig - as they go strand by strand - the process is really amazing!  After all this, the end product is a tightly fitting wig for a child - so that they can do 'normal' kid activities, without having to worry about this wig falling off of their head during soccer, or swimming! 

Most salons work with Locks of Love, and some even provide you with a free haircut (depending on how many inches you're willing to donate).  If you have the extra hair, and are looking for a change - why not?!  It is a great cause!  Helping a lot in a little way!

Pictured below and above: Friday, October 9th - I donated 12 inches!  Follow my lead! =)

Grand Opening - it's officially, official!



So we officially have our first art market under our belt!! It was a smooth set up (up four flights of stairs!), but our vendors were great sports! Unfortunately due to some other events in the area, as well as the GORGEOUS weather we had - the early part of the day was slow! But the crowd came much later in the day! The cupcakes and 'Squisharita' drinks were a real hit! I got to meet some great artists/vendors - and I look forward to working with them again in the future. Here are some pics - check out our site www.squishartmarket.com for the full album! And, everyone get ready for our next event come the end of September!



Art&Love,
