Blackbird Attic Third Anniversary

Blackbird Attic's Third Anniversary event was yesterday. Anyone who knows the story of my opening knows I kind of fell into it shortly after moving to Beacon.. although it was always a dream to open a shop, I basically walked into it and haven't left yet. I have been living here for as long as I lived in New York City (where I moved up from, like many others), and while I still miss my hometown Rochester now and then, Beacon has become my home and this shop is a huge part of my life and character.

The weather wasn't the best yesterday, with a thunderstorm and all, but thank you to the friends and customers that stopped by to congratulate me. The Laura Berger art show and prints are up and for sale, and I will be taking more photos for another post soon. I can ship! The show will be up till June 7th.

Take a little peek into my day below..

 

The end of the party this morning, but a lovely sunny Mother's Day!

 

Blackbird Attic Again Presents, Love/Hate!

This is our third year putting together Love/Hate, an interactive art show at Blackbird Attic. Think Post Secret, but on a local level. Everyone gets a chance to bare their deepest truest emotions and secrets, whether love or hate, and best of all, it can be completely anonymous.



We have a typewriter available for use at 442 Main Street in Beacon. Letters are also accepted (secretly slid under the door or placed in the box inside) at this location up until Thursday, February 7th.
You can also submit anonymously online here.

Get creative! You can also hand in photos or collages (smaller sizes preferred).

Opening reception will be held at Blackbird Attic 442 Main Street from 5 – 8pm, in which all the letters and art will be unveiled. After the artshow, we will be hosting a dance party at 159 Fishkill Ave, just a few blocks away from Blackbird Attic, to dance the love/hate away. Refreshments will be served at both locations.

“There’s nothing in this world so sweet as love. And next to love the sweetest thing is hate.”—H.W. Longfellow

Art. Cupcakes. & Vintage. Oh My!

The art opening was a fun time. Lot's of energy in the air last night in Beacon!

We had delicious cupcakes made by The Cupcake Baketress in Beacon. Chocolate with a graham cracker bottom! You could smell the chocolate as soon as you entered my shop.. delicious.

Thanks friends for stopping by! Below my friend Jess is sporting a top she had just bought alongside her newly purchased, perfectly matching, spirit animal, artwork from Alms & Terra.

Lastly, here are a few photos of some new items in the shop. I have been getting bombarded with drop-offs.. late spring cleaning I suppose! It will take me some time to get through everything, but be sure to stop by and grab the newest stuff before it goes. Actually the first dress below went yesterday to a lovely lady from Austin. But, don't worry, I have the cutest handmade vintage dresses I will be putting out in the near future.
