fun weekend stuff coming up!
If you're in Portland, get ready for some fun things going on in the next few days...

On Saturday afternoon from 12-4, Torie, Cathy, Monsieur T. and Susan will be selling at Happy Hands Market at Oregon Stamp Society (4828 NE 33rd Ave. & Alberta Ct.). Come shop for handmade clothes, jewelry and accessories, plus signed copies of Super Crafty!

This weekend is also the one and only PDX Film Festival at the Guild Theater (829 SW 9th Ave.). Here's the full schedule, but we especially recommend the Invitationals at 9 pm Saturday night. Our fellow crafter Vladimir will be defending her title as two-time World Champion of Experimental Film, and there will be a bingo game with susanstars jewelry, Vladmasters, and Stumptown Coffee among the fabulous prizes! Don't miss it!

Our friend Carye Bye is hosting the third annual Pretty Dress Bike Ride on Sunday, May 7--here are all the details!

Pretty Dress Ride (III)
Sunday, May 7, 2006
2 pm (length: 2 - 2.5 hours, easy social bike ride, route - a mystery)
Start: Tanner Springs Park (NW 10th & Marshall) - Just off Broadway Bridge, 2 or 3 blocks N from Jamison Park
What: It's Spring, and biking in a pretty dress feels oh so good!  We'll ride around leisurely, parading our pretty dresses, stopping for afternoon tea or dessert (bring $). Everyone welcome: But you must wear a pretty dress. Raining? Sorry, ride will be cancelled because riding in a wet pretty dress just isn't so fun.

Did you make it to the first Crafty Wonderland? It was super fun--the DIY shrine-making table was busy all day, and there were handmade journals, jewelry, clothes, cards, and even homemade candy for sale--here are some photos! The May 14 Mother's Day sale vendors list is up, and there's still time to apply for the June 11 show.

Hope to see you!
