art for dead people
East Nashville means many things: good music, scones, armed robbery, food, and hipsters. Oh, and Plowhaus Artists' Cooperative. Good times. It's Day of the Dead time. See the picture? I made that. Why is it a crappy camera phone picture? Because right now as I type it's over hanging on a wall at Plowhaus. No, it's not in the gallery proper, it's in the workshop space/gift shop, but hey, it's a first. All workshopees were invited to hang finished pieces. Better pictures to come once I pick it up tomorrow, tonight is the opening party. If you live in Nashville and you don't go see this exhibit you are stupid. It's beautiful.
Oh, and the scones. Oh, the scones. Before I made it over there I stopped at the delightful Sweet 16th for a sack of scones. They had to put them in special lead bags because otherwise they'd float right out the car window. I'm going to compile a list of how to spend a day in Nashville, and that's #1. Yes, I did get doggie biscuits too.
AND before that an estate sale. Wow. Samantha, if only you had been there--lovely vintage dresses all over. Mom said this woman was talented at the textile arts as her handmade garments were beautifully made. Of course, the zippers needed replacing, but such things happen. We're talking delicate, beautifully made items. One hand made linen evening dress had STAYS. Handmade stays! This was in Old Money Meade in a house with a huge basement and a magnificent attic. I picked up a flawless vintage cashmere sweater (it will be sold on ebay later on) and a nice 8mm Brownie camera which may or may not work, but it at least looks cool.

Yay for artwork on the wall! So, I just found out we'll be flying into Nashville (to drive to Kentucky) in late February. I'll be needing the coordinates of this scone place, of course. And this vintage place, too! I'm going to have to get up on some estate sale-ing, the dresses sounds won-der-ful.
16th and Rudolph. Hopefully you'll be here early in the morning Tues-Sat, otherwise you'd have to settle for less world-rocking scones.
OOPS I mean 16th and ordway. 16th and rudolph doesn't exist.
