Lauren Whearty of Color & Cloth will be selling her handmade yoga bags and other handcrafted cosmetic bags.  "I created yoga bag design for myself, because I needed a bag that I could use while riding my bike. The strap is long enough to go over one shoulder, or across your chest, with the bag on your back. It is made of a durable water repellent canvas, that is sturdy, yet allows the bag to breathe."-Lauren Whearty

Thankful



Today I celebrated Thanksgiving with my amazing family, but I also spent alot of time thinking about my other amazing family...my PSG family. I am so incredibly thankful for all of you. All that you've done, all of your support...it all helps this place grow like it has. 

So thank you all...for being here for me, the space and for yourselves, making your work. You continue to inspire me and keep me going despite many an obstacle. Thank you. xoxo Darla

"My dream is to see my always-a-work-in-progress children's book "the Jester's Kingdom", a comedy-fantasy picture book go to print someday.  In the meantime, I'll settle with drawing demons and dragons and warriors for a living. Can't argue with that!"- John Moriarty

"Costello accomplishes this feat by shredding silk and hanging it to form text, balancing bold block letters with delicate fibers.  These strips drip from the edges of each character to create an authentic-if not richly enhancing-version of the writing on the walls."- Julia West, Philadelphia City Paper   

Aubrie also just did ALL our make-up for the Pin-Up Calendar and is our Miss October!!! Meet her & Get yours at the Launch Party on Friday!
