One of the ways that we know that we are still hip is that we go to the Rock and Roll Craft Show. Nicely hand-crafted goods from the local crafty-DIY crowd are on display for a weekend in a local art space with live music.
Our two older kids, Tom and Lily, picked up some silk-screened t-shirts, and we got a Christmas gift or two for friends. Some of my favorite creations this year were a series of old-fashioned looking paintings of pastoral scenes upon which a new artist had painted a great big orange monster; a white ceramic serving platter with a well-executed black skull painted on the surface as decoration; hunting trophy magnets that featured the heads of plastic toy animals and Star Wars characters; and several very beautiful scarves.
Being in the neighborhood, we ate at Duff's, a family favorite.
