Fall Feather Fun recap

Our Fall Feather Fun event yesterday afternoon was a big hit! Gals of all ages flocked to Quirk from 3-6pm to add some feathery goodness to their hair. Scott Sheble from Legend's salon had tons of fun different colors and lengths of feathers to choose from. We're planning on having him join us again for the October 7th First Friday.

Oh Julia

Our sweet friend and gallery assistant extraordinaire Julia Gabriel has done it again. A short while back she mentioned a project that she wanted to start working on. Her goal was to design and create a set of backpacks based on the architecture of abandoned buildings in Richmond.
Yesterday she showed up with her first completed creation. What better place to start than with the building across the street from her apartment.
Join us for Julia's Shop Show opening Thursday, October 6 from 5pm to 8pm!
(I'll try to snap a better shot of this sweet pack when she comes back around... These details are on point.)
