How cute! Just discovered the Spotted Rabbit Studio little free art library on monroe ave! So far there's not too much in it, but I'm sure we can fix that ;)

Hi there, Jules here. Yes I am posting random food pictures. But follow my neurodivergent brain here. What does a naan grilled cheese have to do with Q***r Handmade Rochester? I have been having solo campfires out near the woods in my yard. I love my yard. It’s my favorite place to be. And I had always dreamed of having an art festival here. 2020 was my opportunity to host a little.ā€Q***r Handmade Mulit-family yard saleā€ with all Covid precautions in place. Pride had been canceled and we really needed a space to all get together in a safe environment and celebrate. I thought it was going be a silly little thing that just happened once. This past year we had our seventh annual summer arts festival and we are gearing up for our six annual Q***r Handmade Holiday. So we get to the grilled cheese I thought was a silly little idea to make naan grilled cheese over the campfire. It worked! This is how I came to be eating grilled cheese alone, out in my woods, feeling sappy, thinking about how far we’ve come. Be kind to yourself. Be good to the ones around you, and never forget how far you have come. ***r

So, how was your pride? We definitely didn't have a good one.
A thing few people talk about when it comes to being an art vendor is the real cost of it. Not only do we have to buy materials for our artwork, but we also have to buy our tents, displays, and pay for the space at festivals. Pride cost $200 for a spot. We know that with outdoor shows, it can be a gamble with the weather, but it can be seriously disheartening and expensive when it really goes wrong. Many of us had pieces get damaged in the storm today, losing a lot of hard work and art someone could have enjoyed.
If you were vending at pride today, know someone who was, or if you are a fellow q***r artist who couldn't make it to the festival, please tag them in the comments! We want to be able to help everyone make back what they lost today.
Happy pride everyone ā¤ļø

We were so gratful to have so many awesome guests at our festival this weekend, you all really made it something special! Unfortunately, these objects were left behind, so let us know if you are missing them or you may know who they belonged to.
The objects pictured: sunglasses with a black frame and reflective blue lenses. Small zip pouch made to look like a slice of bread with a cartoony face. And of course, cat foot for scale.
Message us or email us if you know where they belong!
