I may not be able to continue listening to this book after hearing the narrator pronounce “hamantaschen” so horrifically I may never recover.

This boggles my mind because your work is soooo polished. Maybe shows are different here, but I’m somewhat shocked by the quality of some of the booths I’m seeing even at the really well known shows.

Two bud vases in progress in the golden hour sunlight on my desk. They are striped with pink and orange because that is my jam lately and have black sparkles and what appear to be white sparkles and white ghosts but PSYCH, that’s clear glaze and will just turn glossy and transparent when it’s fired!

I watched her show as a kid and always loved her? She just seemed so warm and to be genuinely enjoying herself.

Watching GBBO. I miss Prue, but also the only opinion I care about at all is Nigella’s. I’m living for Nigella, this is the Great Nigella Bake Off now.

I put a couple books on hold at the library. Popular books, guesstimating by my spot in the queue I figured I’d have WEEKS and maybe even MONTHS for one of them, but of course they all showed up this week I have no time omg

I’ve been working very long hours to restock for my next two markets and I’m very tired. Today, I took advantage of an absolutely gorgeous afternoon to sit in the park and play solitaire with my new purse cards. I didn’t win.
A very cute game of solitaire with a deck of mini playing cards featuring a purple opossum, on a green park picnic table with the long shadows of late afternoon.

I’ll never understand the argument of “I’m just a small biz owner with lots of bills to pay!” So are the artists whose work was stolen to make this plagiarism machine. There are so many other low cost and free alternatives, so it’s no excuse.

I had to take it down again recently for a birthday party of 10-11yos (mostly because they ask a lot of questions I don’t want to answer) but having this guy on the wall in my dining room has been one of my great achievements in life.

The downside to listening to a book is that I do not know if this is the author’s mistake or the narrator’s. Am I listening to high literature? No. But this is potato chips on the couch literature that probably gets read more than the other kind so let’s try to improve literacy rates!

It’s important to me that, if you decide to write a book, you know that if your character is documenting something, the phrase is: “for posterity” not “for prosperity”. These two words are not interchangeable. This is not an example of the English language evolving, it’s just incorrect. Ok thx!

So I recently rambled a hell of a lot in a professional capacity and if you feel like reading some half-baked thoughts about art, and some anti-ai ranting, you could click this link or whatever. canvasrebel.com/meet-britt-w...

I’m feeling very much the same! Feeling like I’m not improving and growing like I would like because instead of selling online and making my own schedule, I’m constantly crunching market deadlines and I hate it 😭

I would also like to note that one of those Carl’s is a large print edition, but I don’t care because I got it for $20 when the only other option new is a $45 hardcover rn.

Also found the vintage mass market pulp section and was dying over the illustrations!!! I wanted every single book and I’d read them too, I wouldn’t just hoard them. But I would definitely also hoard them.
Wacky sci fi/fantasy book cover “Chiy-une” is the title and it features a bare chested dude shooing a rat gun while wearing an awesome amulet and cloak and sitting astride a weird-ass green monster with an oddly dressed woman gazing at him adoringly, also sitting on the weird monster. Cap Kennedy # 10 Planet of Dread by Gregory Kern. Just a dude about to trip and stab himself because he really should not be running while looking behind himself and carrying a very sharp looking sword. There’s a crab-legged guy in the BG, a floating fireball and some sinister sky-eyes. This is not the time to be tripping. A book called Wall of serpents. Featuring two people standing on, you guessed it, a wall of fucking snakes. And looking pretty smug about it too.

a portion of today’s book haul: 3 dungeon crawler Carl books that are not actually the one I need 🤷‍♀️ Not pictured: - Wilder Girls by Rory Power - Burn our Bodies Down by Rory Power (Two very good books with very good covers that I have already read and am trying to get the kiddo to read)
A stack of books by Matt Dinniman: 

A parade of horribles
The gate of the feral gods
The butcher’s masquerade. 

In the BG my cat is yawning but all you can see is his gaping little maw.

- going to events or markets just to browse is ok! Other people are more likely to stop at a booth if people are already there. Just don’t impede sales! - bring snacks. Someone brought me banana bread recently and I literally cried from gratitude at the thoughtfulness. (Also it was so good)

Britt Wilson @britterson.bsky.social · 18/09/2026
- order from any online shops you like that are still chugging along! - send cool stuff to your friends. Spreading the word is free. This includes texting them from a market you are at where you saw something cool irl. - visit shops that prioritize local makers. They are usually vocal about it.

Britt Wilson @britterson.bsky.social · 18/09/2026
- some artists don’t take commissions (like me), especially during the fall, so be nice about it. - repost their posts, especially about events, as often as you see them. Don’t care how low your follower count is. Help them get word out because algo’s suppress these posts due to lack of engagement

Britt Wilson @britterson.bsky.social · 18/09/2026
Ways you can help: - find out where/when local art markets are happening and raise a posse to go with you. - contact artists you already like to see how they are selling this season and the best way to support them. - commission anyone who takes coms NOW, it may be already too late for Xmas.

Previously, when your local small businesses were struggling, they could turn to online sales to keep things going but that’s not going to save us this time (Or is very unlikely to). This was mostly aimed at folks outside the US, but Americans, this is solid advice for you too.

Britt Wilson @britterson.bsky.social · 18/09/2026
They want the market to be 4 giant corps in a trenchcoat and we can’t let that happen. PPWR took affect in the EU just in time to decimate any hope small businesses there had of a successful holiday season. I highly doubt it’s a coincidence that US trade wars with Canada ramp up in late summer also.

Britt Wilson @britterson.bsky.social · 18/09/2026
Friends. It’s more important than ever that we shop locally this season, especially heading into the holidays. Between trade wars and EU regulations a lot of small businesses are hurting real bad. Me at my market table last weekend for attention.

I will always take a moment to rave about these pens when I can, but especially because it’s Dan’s birthday (and tho I personally think we should be paying MORE on someone’s birthday, not less) he’s got a sale running!

I have discovered a very successful workaround to nearly all problems I have ever encountered. The second I complain about it to my husband, or the internet (depending on the severity) I will immediately solve said problem in a simple way, making myself look like the biggest idiot alive.

Took the kiddo to see Gibran Alcocer last night and it was pretty lovely I must say.
