the beautiful ones

(this skirt i am wearing here is a diy from this blog. the diy is extremely simple, yet overly cute. i plan to sew up another one soon, this time using velvet fabric that i found in my storage.)

   first friday's, in kansas city, is always an event in my book to attend. it's so lovely having all the art galleries being open to the public, and free, for viewing and buying (for some whom have that sort of cash which i do not!). 
   this evening was a pretty chilly one in the crossroads, but i warmed up with a soy latte from a local coffee shop/snack bar to help continue the night. there were not as many art galleries open as usual, probably due to the cold, but my favorite printing/design press shop was open (hammerpress). the store smelled like "christmas in a log cabin" if i was to describe it.
