Watch for it around town...Winter Wonders 2013

 

We love being able to start November by showing off our new poster for Winter Wonders 2013! Another beautiful design by Shauna Buck. 

Most people are usually surprised to hear that our posters are hand printed. That's right, over 400 posters made their way through the hands of Wayne and Dana in their studio a few weeks ago. You might wonder why we choose to do this...well, it's because we want the posters to be special - and for anyone who has seen them around, they have an obvious quality that just can't be reached any other way.  Also, we naturally try to keep as many elements of this show as DIY as possible - we have all this talent, we gotta use it! 

 Here is a peek into the making process::

 

 

 

Look for these lovely posters around town in the weeks leading up to the show!

A look back at our posters

This is an exciting time for us here at Flock and Gather - our plans for Winter Wonders 2013 are underway, our decorations are being crafted, and our vendors are in place. In the next couple of days we will start to tell you more about those wonderful people and the things they make so you can be excited along with us! 

In the mean time, we wanted to take a look back through our sale posters, which have really become a big part of the Flock and Gather identity. Some of you have been following along with F&G since the beginning, and others might be just finding out about us now. So here's what we've been up to the last three years...

 

 

 

All illustrations and designs (except for the first) are done by our own Shauna Buck and our posters are hand printed by Wayne and Dana of Waldensweet. We can't wait to show you this year's Christmas poster - keep an eye out on November 1st!

How are you going to spend your weekends this fall?

Might we suggest you could spend them checking out the market at the underground cafe?

Here's just a few pics of the goods that were for sale this weekend...
