'night light'

Wed, 14 Jun 2006 15:54:28 GMT

We asked our good friend & amazing artist Justin Pierce if he'd design a limited edition tee for us, and we couldn't be happier with the result! "Night Light" is a 3-color print available in guys and girl styles, limited to 25 pieces. This is the first t-shirt in our "Just Visiting" series. Each t-shirt is hand printed and numbered.

t-shirts gone forever

birthday boy

Happy (belated) 27th birthday nick!

We celebrated with grilled cheese and PBRs. It was a good time.

gallery hop

Sun, 04 Jun 2006 22:49:25 GMT

This Saturday was the monthly Gallery Hop down at the Short North in Columbus. It was the 250th event so there was so much going on! Besides just out enjoying the awesome day and new shows at some local galleries, we also got a chance to catch one song from Heavy Mole, a new local favorite of ours;) Did anyone else get to walk around?

There was also a community yard sale that we unfortunately didn’t get to until later… but we still snatched up some treasures! (Most of which were actually free)

We got a fun gift for Nick’s brother, a TMNT water bottle. And some fun little animal friends for ourselves as well. I was the happiest to find a vintage version of one of my favorite card games ever, ‘Mille Bornes’. If you haven’t ever played, I would recommend it!
We also managed to pick up some fun novels for Jessica to work her love light magic on!
Besides all that we also got a neat old window that someone had abandoned, don’t know what to do with it yet, but it’ll become something, anyone have any great crafty ideas?!

We were sad to see one of our favorite restaurants down the street closed… we hope not forever! Oh Element we miss you so.

Finally got a chance to post something now that the new computer is finally here! There is a flickering in the upper right corner of the monitor that is starting to drive me nuts!! Urgh, so I might be making a drive out to Best Buy soon. Damn it! For dinner tonight I made a curried rice casserole, one my Aunt is known to make herself. It was nice to think about her and enjoy the delicious dish. I totally should have cut the recipe in half though! Leftovers for weeks! Nick and I watched “Me and You and Everyone We Know” tonight. If you haven’t seen it, I highly recommend it! An extremely funny and charming film. The youngest boy was the absolute cutest thing I have ever seen. Truly worth the rent. Lots to do tomorrow, so I’m off to bed.

*hope everyone had a great weekend!*
*Here are some photos from Art vs. Craft..

RCF recap, etc.....

Mon, 03 Oct 2005 06:07:03 GMT

Wow, has it really been a month since i've written? Well, lets see....Nick and I had a great time in Chicago for the Renegade Craft Fair! Met lots of nice folks; saw some familiar faces, finally met Maggie and Michael from Supermaggie, and dodged many mud puddles. It was really amazing that people still came out in the mud to support the fair. On Saturday nick got all "fanboy" on me as he spotted Mike Kinsella of Owen/American football out browsing the booths.

(mike kinsella)

We have no photos from the actual fair, but here are some of our purchases...

a) Nick picked up this piece by artist Dolan Geiman, (silkscreen/collage god)
b) Some really cute cards by Nicole over at pinklovesbrown.com
c) More cards from the amazing sidepony.com
and I bought a supermaggie longsleeve tee which is in the washer:)

Yesterday we stumbled into a lovely little yard sale where we found this:

HELLO? Ten dollars for Gocco? What a steal! It's an older model, and missing a few pieces, but I managed to find the replacements online. We also scored some vintage upholstery fabrics:

Just got finished printing these...

for Craftin Outlaws fair this Saturday in Columbus. I’ve got some samples coming from alternative apparel, which Maggie suggested we try. Hopefully they’ll be here in the morning. Just one more hoodie to make before I get to relax and watch the last episode of arrested development season one. Nick and I have been obsessed lately. Gotta love the never-nude!!

Best,

Alison

Ohio State Fair, Ohio Caverns, and Kiser Lake Camping

Wed, 17 Aug 2005 19:31:04 GMT

This weekend we got a visit from my sister Jessica and her boyfriend Andrius! The first thing on our agenda was to visit the annual Ohio State Fair. Just like last year it was super hot and sticky! We enjoyed giant sodas, huge ice teas, shaken lemonades, hot dogs, corn dogs, and everything that could possibly be fried, which was alot!

Jessica and Andrius enjoying some snacks and watching the dog show!

See more from our fun weekend...

Aaron kicking ass playing the water balloon game!

Jessica doing a sweet alisonrose.com photo shoot shot.

Every year we stop by and get a new sweet vintage metal stamp from the stamp guy. This year it's a fun bike stamp! We also buy a couple wooden letters to complete our 'alisonrose'. It's so fun that we can't wait until next year's fair just to buy another!
After the fair we were all super tired from walking and being out in the sun so we went out and bought 'Risk'.

Andrius was so excited to play and to teach us how to play! World domination rules way more then I thought it would! Really fun.
Next, we planned to go camping, after a short stop at the Ohio Caverns! Nick was so NOT into the little bats that kept flying by our heads! We camped at Kiser Lake...

which was beautiful... just wish it could have stopped raining for a bit.

Nick in his poncho

Luckily it did stop enough for us to cook up some lunch. Yummy!

We also got to rent some fishing poles. Although we didn't catch anything, it was still totally fun!

Worth every bug bite.

I'm sure these guys caught way more then us!
But hey at least our tent stayed dry and warm!

It's nice to be home again out of the rain! I hope Jessie and Andrius had fun, despite the weather!

Hello Everyone! We are truly excited to announce...

Bridal bags and new products...

Fri, 05 Aug 2005 04:57:59 GMT

The summer is winding down but we're still busy getting all kinds of new things done! Nick has been working hard on the re-vamped site, which will be up early next week! I'm super excited.
I just finished a bridal order I had been working on. I love how the bags turned out!!!!

The bridesmaids bags were all handbeaded, which I think turned out awesome.

The brides bag was a little more simple with just a pretty brooch.

Are you getting married? Send me an e-mail and let me know what you had in mind for your wedding party! You can customize it any way you want. I'd love to work with you!
Back to work, check the site soon for some new wallets I've been working on... my new favorite things!
Take Care.

Mon, 01 Aug 2005 04:37:32 GMT

Hello All! Well We are back from our vacation to Ocean City, Maryland. We had such a nice time! We got super sunburnt on the first day there but that didn't stop us from enjoying many activities including jet-skiing and boardwalk shopping. Check out the vacation pictures in the cut...

In Other News...

After Aaron came up with an original t-shirt concept, we messed around with it and came up with Check Yr Pits!
This t-shirt design has been submitted to Threadless.com to be voted on and hopefully printed.

If we get enough high scores the shirt will be printed and
sold from the site and we will win some prizes. Take a look
at it and if you like it, sign up and give it a score.

Thanks!
