Seconds

My second post!  I had a great weekend, and I thought I would share it with you.  The wifey and I went to Second Fridays again here in downtown Council Bluffs.  It is basically an artist gathering that is supplemented by various small business owners.  It is a friendly atmosphere and we love to pick the artists’ brains and discuss their processes since we too are artists at heart.  They have always had a wide assortment of free snacks and Iowa wines.  There is an older lady that makes woman’s fashion items (mostly hats and bags) out of various materials that she finds.  Her business is called Reclamations from the Edge if I remember correctly.  If you are a lady you should check it out.  She is reasonably priced too.  Talking with her I learned that there is another lady that comes and buys her hats just to resale them for profit.  It has been a unique experience every time we’ve gone and it seems to get bigger as well.  Ollie the Trolley was there to shuttle people around downtown and they had live string music at all the stops.  We even won a bottle of Iowa wine during the door prizes drawing (last time we won a Robert Rauschenberg poster size print).  Wifey and I love to go home and create art after getting energized by the artistic conversations and Iowa wine samples.
