Friday Finds: Raving About Red

This week's Friday Finds celebrate the deepest, sultriest of primary colors: red. Be it crimson, scarlet or vermillion, we're just wild about it. Red is the color of lipstick, roses, wine, sunburns, and fire. It's happy, passionate and devilish all at once. Check out these wonderful items that help you embrace the multifaceted enigma that is the color red.

Downtown DIY This Saturday

Crafty ladies and gentlemen! You are all invited to attend this month's Downtown DIY event at the Oklahoma City Coworking Collaborative, 723 N. Hudson Ave. in OKC, this Saturday, July 25. Between 7 and 11 p.m., we'll be making stuff and chitchatting, so don't miss out on the fun. This month, we will also be swapping supplies, so if you have some rickrack, beads or ephemera to unload, put it into the car. Both of your team leaders are planning to be there, so if you have ideas for the group, bring those as well.

We hope to see some of you there!

Friday Finds: A Day At The Beach

Ah, summer! As the temperature keeps climbing, I find myself longing for the ocean; blue-green water, the salty fresh air, feeling the grains of sand under my feet. Sadly, we live in a landlocked state. I'm counting on this week's Friday Finds to sustain me until I'm able visit the sea again.

Audrey Eclectic Opening

Last Friday night, Heather of Audrey Eclectic opened her month-long show at Shades of Brown Coffee and Art, a delightful coffee shop in Tulsa's Brookside area. Her paintings looked amazing on the walls, so I wanted to share a couple of photos:

For more pictures and details, go read Heather's post.
