Hello and welcome to Friend Promotion Friday!
Self-promotion may be hard and awkward, but friend promotion is easy and fun.
Feast your eyes on the art of Jess Pfohl, aka JessMessin'!
Jess is an amazing artist based in the Baltimore area. Her works are bold and fun!
They are available on a wide variety of media including: signed prints, stickers, tote bags, cups, magnets, and pillows.
Pop art portrait illustration magnets!
Crab pillows!
Lobster prints!
She also does major art installations for festivals and other structures, such as Flower Farm:
She is legit, check out her resume:

Check her out wearing a t-shirt I made specially for her which says "Happy Birthday" on the front, and "Sorry for Your Loss" on the back. She was attending a birthday party in the afternoon, and a memorial concert in the evening and needed something suitable.
All in all, she is a wildly creative person who makes vibrant, fun, and functional art for a living, so show her some love!

Hi Wednesday! Hi WTF!
Every koala bear needs a doll, and every old lady needs a figurine to commemorate them.
High heel sequin piggy bank?
Appalachian spring...looks pretty depressing.
I love 80s workout records, and I love the name Joanie.
Last but not least, with all the Olympic fever going on, I was reminded of the time that I threw the shot put for the high school winter track team. As I recall, my teacher was the coach and they had no girl shot putters that season and I was offered a 100 on a math test in exchange for competing - if I could huck it even 10 feet, our team might get a point or two in the meet, better than zero. In retrospect, it was a corrupt bribe, and I am no better than crooked shillary, but it makes a WTF picture.
As with all wtf wednesdays, there are no answers, only questions leading to more questions.

Hello Wednesday. Hello WTF.
Please excuse last week's absence, there has been a sudden death in the close family and posting may be off in the future as i travel.
I did unearth some WTFery last week I'd like to share, starting with Goulet:
Bob, short for Robert?
Some hilarious person added facial hair.
The Rambos have great hairstyles.
Acrylic rug yarn.
Christmas cat feet.
Christmas cat a white squirrel?
Is that a whale penis?
Curtsy or something?
Yes that is a tiny skull in his hand.
Jester on the sidelines in a cast.
Finally, if he wasn't before, he will be when he sees this on the coffee table.

Hello and welcome to Friend Promotion Friday!
Self-promotion may be hard and awkward, but friend promotion is easy and fun.
It is with great confidence and joy that I recommend my friend Stephanie Biagioni and her vintage shop Fresh to Death Vintage.
Imagine Jerry and Elaine had a baby and raised her on Salt n Pepa videos - that would be Stephanie. She is hilarious and whip smart and has excellent taste in clothing and housewares and music.
Go Trailer, Go First Class vintage patch, anyone?
Future Harley Rider Maternity tee?
Stephanie cares and hustles and will do everything possible to ensure customer satisfaction. She will probably wrap your purchase in some cute vintage thing and may even put surprises in the box.
Check out her reviews on Etsy: Fresh to Death Vintage reviews.
Check her out all over the interwebs:
Etsy shop: Fresh to Death Vintage
Wanelo shop: Fresh to Death Vintage
Instagram: Fresh to Death Vintage
Pinterest: Fresh to Death Vintage
Check her out in a couple of SHV original What the Flock t-shirts (which she commissioned):
I love peanut butter.
And garbage!
I told you she was cool! Now head over to her shop and buy something(s) equally cool!

Ellohay, Wednesday! Ellohay, WTF!
I was introduced to a new church thrift store last week and it was full of treasures, inside and out.
The doll is called Precious Expressions.
I have a different definition of precious.
Hey look, it's Pouty Patty!
Tongue out Tuesday magnet.
What is happening here? Diary? Guest book?
Anybody need a maternity stretch panel?
Last but not least, as pointed out to me by my friend SuperMama, Darrin's Coconut Ass - a real life album by Goldfinger.

Hello and welcome to Friend Promotion Friday!
Self-promotion may be hard and awkward, but friend promotion is easy and fun.
My friend Justin Kaiser does a fantastic job with indoor and outdoor painting at Up the Ladder Painting and Pressure Washing Co.
After 4 years of dog claws and puddles, you could say our deck needed major attention.
Nacho has been gone for 2 years now and look how bad it was already back then.
Justin is an excellent communicator who is honest, direct, and very reasonable about pricing and time.
We had some storms the first few days and he was able to continue sanding and painting through the rain by creating an ingenious "tarp city."
Our deck was particularly challenging as its cracks were filled with pounds of dog fur. Justin removed all of this!
After a ton of sanding, two coats of paint, and a massive ladder and tarp operation, here is Justin applying the finishing touches.
It looks brand new, we can't believe it. Our chipped, buckled, mildewy deck feels smooth and looks fantastic - our expectations were greatly exceeded!
Justin is also very friendly and tidy and wonderful with pets. If you are in the Asheville area and have a deck or house that needs some freshening, call Justin at Up the Ladder Painting and Power Washing!

Halló Wednesday! Halló WTF!
Let's begin with a beer drinking bear doll sent in by my friend Beth H. who was thrifting last week in my old stomping grounds on Main Street, Ventura, California.
Sometimes you drink with the bear, and sometimes, well, the bear drinks with you.
More about Jesus.
I know where I'm going, and it appears to be an abandoned beaver den.
Last but not least, who let the Womenfolk out of the kitchen?

New WTF this week:
Hello and welcome to Second edition of Friend Promotion Friday!
Self-promotion may be hard and awkward, but friend promotion is easy and fun.
My friend Allison Griswold sells vintage clothing, toys, and paper ephemera on Etsy at Robin Egg Surprise.
It's easy to recommend Allison's shop because I have known her for several years and she is extremely kind and thoughtful, and will work with any customer before or after the sale to make sure they are happy.
She is based in Indiana, has a great eye for vintage, and finds some wonderfully fun things.
How cute is this toddler fire chief t-shirt?
She has an amazing collection of (cheap) old photos.
Check out her gushing reviews from customers. Nothing but 5 stars all day long!
I do not have any photos of Allison in my t-shirts, but her 4 year old son wears t-shirts and hoodies from me, and I do have a photo of her with Gillian Welch and Dave Rawlings after she gave them a bunch of vintage clothing, which they loved and immediately wore on stage for the rest of the tour.
So if you like vintage things, head on over to Robin Egg Surprise on Etsy and buy something, or buy two things from Allison, you will not be disappointed!
She also has a twitter if you're into that: Robin Egg Surprise twitter.
