It’s a new year, it’s a new month, Portland. You know what that means…

FIRST FRIDAY ART WALK, April 6th! Come find me by the art museum! I’ll have ALL of the classics. I’ve been stocking up for months. PLUS some things that will probably never hit Etsy because they were such a pain to make, and rejects that will be SUPER cheap! I’ll preview some tomorrow but the best thing to do is appreciate them in person…. 

so COME SAY HI! Even if you’re just passing on your way to that person who makes crochet tissue box cozies. No judgement. I still want to see you. 

If you’re not in Portland Maine, luckily you can still getchyer cute food fix here.  

Our First First Friday.

The first Friday in February we paid another visit to the Houston Museum of African American Culture for BLCK Market First Friday’s. When we initially heard about BLCK Market event, we scoped it out from a distance and saw we were not dressed for this event. So, we agreed to go to February’s event, and we were not disappointed.

Upon entry, there was an array of sights: vendors, music, and Black millennials, just like us. Almost too many to list, we trailed through the building checking out the merchandise from the various small businesses. From loose herbal teas, to key chain accessories, the room was filled with art, and the mood was set by the wavy sounds of Baham (ig:@baham_ent).

This place is definitely a good way to start a night out. The easiest way for me to describe this event is by calling it hip. We left with a few items, and a few tips for next time. Bring cash; most vendors take card, but as a budget saavy student, it’d be helpful to keep track of all of the items you buy. I lost count of all of the “omg, that’s so cool”’s. Also, be sure to have a place to store all of the business cards, laptop decals, and handheld trinkets that you won’t be able to pass up. The venue oozes with Black talent, so even if you aren’t able to support that night, you will surely want to later.

Let us know if you decide to make a visit because you know we want to hear about it!
