BUSY WEEKEND

Yes it was a busy weekend! Not only did we get tattoos (see previous post) but we also celebrated Michelle’s birthday with friends at a big dinner, attended a local art show called Shiny Fuzzy Muddy and saw Mission: Impossible: 3.

Take a look at some photos from the birthday dinner and Shiny Fuzzy Muddy below, for the M:I:3 review, follow the hyperlink to GioChannel!

I (mich) must interject here, for those just tuning in Shiny Fuzzy Muddy is a super great collaboration of a few talented local artists that happens 2 times a year. This was the spring event at Mooncruise gallery in gastown, a super trendy, gallery full of awesome furniture, jewlery and clothes set in a heritage building with huge windows and a spiral staircase to the showroom. That in itself was inspiring but when you get to combine that with the uber hip creations of Francis Felt, Donna Partridge, Astrosachel, among others you cant help but wish you had won the lottery so you could spend away.

It was particulary extra great for me as my very talented cousin Laura McKibbon, who's pottery, Cul de Sac Designs, is totally original and the only stuff we use, gave me a gift certificate for my newest favorite local talent Arleigh Wood. The problem now is trying to decide which peice to put it towards. Her pieces are all so fabulous I stood there, most of the pics of me on the site, for about 20 minutes trying to decide and came away deciding to mull it over and check out the show next weekend.
