It’s been a crappy weather all week (although there is something bright in the sky today), but still….Spring is in the air! Can you feel it? I can. That’s why I never leave home without my supply of Allegra. Anyhoo, there’s a lot going on this week.

Starting with….The Blogfest! Yeah, that’s tomorrow. Come get support, praise and beer from fellow bloggers. It’s the annual event where we get to pat ourselves on the back for a job well done. Who’s going? I’ll be hosting a break off schmooze group after the formal speeches and I don’t want to look unpopular, so come say hello!

Brooklyn Designs 2009 goes from May 8-10. Maybe I’ll actually make it there this year. All the wonderful, gorgeous up and coming designer stuff I can’t afford.

If you’re heading north for the weekend, Mario of those Mario and Reclaimed Home estate sales is holding a tag sale at his house in Beacon. He’s partnering up with Iron Fish Mark this time, who just closed his eclectic vintage/antiques shop on Main Street. They have tons of goodies filling up the 2 story garage space. And Mario always prices things to SELL! It’s at 69 Verplanck, this Saturday. Rain date is May 16.

BTW, May 9th is Second Saturday in Beacon, meaning all of the art galleries and shops are open late and serving up some free wine. There’s also an open house at Common Ground Farm from 9am-12pm and a frock swap. But the best thing is, if you spend the night in Beacon, you can help work on our porch on Sunday!

Back in Brooklyn, May 9th is the grand opening of the Park Slope Flea. That’s in Park Slope South, to be exact. On 5th Ave, just above 20th Street.

What am I doing? I’ll be working. I’ll have my usual space at the daddy of all fleas this Saturday.
