Crunch Re-Visited: The Marys

It has been FAR too long since my last post. I have been working for almost a year now, and have sadly gotten away from immersing myself in the world of creativity which I love so dearly!

I have been working for the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC)'s Kentucky Chapter for almost two years now, and it has been a great ride! Last weekend, I was working the chapter's booth at the NuLu Fest on Market Street which celebrates the revival of Louisville's East Downtown district, read "new-Lou." There are a flurry of local craft and home goods gift stores, the Bluegrass Green Building Co., local eateries which feature locally sourced foods from nearby farms, and just a wonderful vibe happening lately.

So I was working the booth at the festival, enjoying talking to people who had plenty of ideas and input regarding the green building industry of late. When the sun went down, I ventured around and found a secret treasure of a booth! I came upon the Female Art Collective and Fly Away Fox, a combined creative shop with a ton of handmade and re-purposed goodies!

In addition to unique eye candy were two pleasant creators, Mary of the Female Art Collective I bought some gorgeous umbrella earrings from her!

RewareVintage.com used old record sleeves and created journals- spiral bound with blank lined paper. The special gem? The ACTUAL record installed in the back of the book!

My honey bought this Ray Charles book:
