This year’s festival will include, but is certainly not limited to:
- 200+ artists and crafters selling their handmade wares
- Kids fun area
- 4 stages with a variety of performances through the day, including music, spoken word and children’s acts
- Food court complete with vegan options (vegan ice cream too? You bet!)
- Central Mass Roller Derby
- Street Performance
- Artist Demonstrations
The Worcester Magazine issue about shopping thrifty in Worcester that Linnea (our online shop guru) and I styled came out this week. You can also read it online here.
This weekend was the season opener for the mobile shop. We spent the day with what seemed like all of Worcester, hanging out at StArt on the Street. We danced in the street and ate from every food truck that was there. If you live in central Mass and missed this event, there is another one in September. Hope to see your there!
Follow us on Twitter to see all our events for the season.
We are stocking up and spiffing up to get ready for the 2011 season. We have some styling new wheels and we will soon have a shiny new polish that will blind your fashionable little faces! Look out Boston…we are on the move!
Last month I had the pleasure of styling a vintage style engagement photo shoot for one of my favorite wedding photographers, Tyra Bleek. The shoot was for a giveaway that was featured on the website Beantown Bride a few months before. I didn’t really have much experience with prop styling before this. But I love vintage and i feel like the Haberdash photographs really well so I gave it my best.
The couple that won the contest was completely adorable, I was stoked to get to hang with them all day. The complete set of photos are here.
I had a great time at the Start On The Street Festival this weekend. I made some new friends (note the furry one in the photos). I even left the store in the hands of someone else for the first time ever without having a nervous breakdown (thank you Linnea).
Baby steps.
A photo of the Haberdash made it on the Telegram and Gazette website, Which I was so excited about…see it here.
