Golden




While visiting family in Denver we found our way to Colfax St. For those of you that don't know, it's a super sketchy hood. It's a dense multitude of crack heads with equal parts teenage mothers and strollers. On the upside there are about 20 something thrift stores along Colfax. We made out with a handful of conversational pieces. So it was a fruitful day. Then we almost hit the jackpot via a craigslist post. This women wanted to clear out two bedrooms packed full of old textiles... She decided to give it ALL to a girl scout troop! Dang...

Then we spent a day in Golden, Co. It's a really cute historical town. Golden is also where Coors beer is brewed. They were having a christmas parade, with the cutest pack of alpacas and mini ponies.
Golden had a really nice assortment of aged Arapaho rugs. Here are some pics of them.

Visited a new (to me) hood in Brooklyn today in order to check out The Textile Arts Center. It was super gray and chilly and the area was kinda industrial and gloomy. Good combo!! All in all a good time was had by all (me). Really excited to start printing at Textile Arts Center, as there facility was gorgeous! http://www.textileartscenter.com
