Snoop

Recently I had the opportunity to visit the amazing studio of one of my more favorite artists, Elizabeth Perkins. As soon I got my sneaky little foot in the door I fell in love with her space. It is so inviting and cozy. Her workspace to die for, in a technical utilitarian sort of way. Also she has such a collection of colorful and meaningful objects surrounding the space, I could have stayed and played all day.

Here are some delicious images of her work, materials, and shrine.

Claire McDermott

New work by Philadelphia based artist Claire McDermott just arrived. She uses old skateboards to make beautiful necklaces and earrings with a fantastic combination of color and texture. Prices range from $35 to $150.

Susan Fields

We had an awesome trunk show this weekend with Susan fields. This is a detail of one of her super cute beaded flowers. Thanks Susan for hanging out with us all day!

Getting ready!

We're getting really excited about all of our upcoming events and shows around town. Be sure to stop by this Saturday for Antiques on Broad as well as a trunk show by Susan Fields with beautiful beaded pieces. Also coming up is the St. James Bazaar and the Visual Arts Trunk Show! Check the events section of our website for more details!

smARTWORKS

We've gotten in these cute & comfy wool scarves from smARTWORKS, the perfect accessory for chilly fall weather ( if mother nature ever makes up her mind!).

Jill Jacobson

Jill Jacobson is number one when it comes to making beautiful vintage inspired jewelry. In Spring or Fall this cuff dresses up any outfit. $136

Eames Wheelchair

This is more of a re-blog, but too awesome not to mention. We saw this on Design Boom and had to show it off. How much do you want this?

Funktion

We used some of these babies to spruce up our new winter window. Funktion's line of aprons, oven mitts, and dish towels brighten up any kitchen and make cooking fun again. They also have matching mother-daughter sets for all those "Mommies" out there!

Gerard Yosca is Here

We love everything they create, but these are a couple of our favorites from Gerard Yosca. The strands are great alone or layered with other colors for any occasion. Dress them up or down! Prices range from $20 - $200.

New Window Display

Just in time for the opening of (my boyfriend) Spike Jonze's Where the Wild Things Are, we have a new window display fit for Wild Things. Here's a couple of shots of the installation process, along with a video Katie took - just for kicks.

Lynn Robbins

What a cute surprise! Lynn Robbins of Rag Tag Designs designed dolls for both Katie and myself. The outfits are based on the ones we were wearing last First Friday. Lynn can create custom dolls for you too! Call for inquiries (804)644-5450.

Kristi Tororitis

Thanks to our firecracker intern Nitza, Kristi Tororitis' awesome bangles made of old skateboard decks are now available at Quirk. They are all different and 100% recycled. Each bangle is only $14 so you can easily have enough to stack!

NY Times Here We Come!

We have had so many friends calling and emailing to tell us that we were mentioned in the NY Times Travel Guide for Richmond as a notable place to visit. We are so excited to be on such an important publication's radar. Check out the full article which mentions so many other great Richmond spots.

Matt Lively, the Many Talented Man:

Thanks to Matt Lively, our newest staff member we have been laughing the day away. Check out his video, you won't regret it.

Take a Chance

The donated work from our wonderful artists has been rolling in (Thank you, thank you, thank you!). Here are a few sneak peaks!

Baroni Charms

These bangles and necklaces by Baroni are so cute and customizable. They come in two styles, sterling silver and gold vermeil. You can add as many initials as you like to create the perfect piece for you.

Prices range from $50 - $70.

Snoop with Scoop

Here it is, our second edition of Snoop. These are some select shots of my (maggie) clutter-tastic home. The dog perched in the cat condo is Scoop. He tried to get in every shot but only made it in one. Thanks for stopping by.

After School Special

Last week's After School Special was pretty fabulous. We had a fun crew of guys and gals who made some amazing critters. Tomorrow needles and thread will be flowing as we whip up some friends out of knit gloves.

Getting Excited!

We're really rolling with the #52RVA project around here. Here's a sneak peek of what the cards themselves will look like! There has been a great response from businesses and organizations already. Check out the project on Twitter and the #52RVA site!
