Mellow art market haul
The Year of Celebrations ⭑.ᐟ Mellow Art Market was on over this weekend, and I went a little bit crazy (though now that I have a full time job, I feel like I'm allowed to) Within two hours I covered over 140 artist stalls, met 3 mutual friends (one from Malaysia!?), made 2 new friends, & had 6 new keychains swinging from my overflowing bag! ˖ ‧₊˚⋆✩٩(ˊᗜˋ*)و ✩

Apart from all the lovely trinkets, something else I really treasure about the art market experience is the crowd—both stallholders & visitors. The creative humming and buzzing of a thousand kindred spirits, the gratitude, the whimsicality of it all. I always leave these events feeling really renewed and reminded of how important art & community are.
Tell your loved ones you love them, and consider supporting your local artists & small businesses this gifting season! Stay cozy, friends. ⋆｡˚❆˚ ｡⋆
