Spring-A-Ling

Leah's Spring calendar is filling up!

Tomorrow is the Tru Blu Tatu Art Show in Bristol, PA. Leah loves these guys, and they're celebrating their 6th anniversary with this free art show. 


This FREE party features original artwork and crafts from over a dozen artists and vendors (including Leah of course), food & drink, and a just confirmed an acoustic set from our friends Clashing Plaid -- that alone is worth coming for!

Leah got inked by Jerome Gunn a few weeks ago:


"Jerome did an amazing job on my Fisher Price Record Player piece. The new addition is Michael Jackson Off The Wall album cover. It should be healed soon and pics will follow."


Saturday is the Prospect Park Craft Fair in Brooklyn.  Held annually on the day before Mother's Day, local artists and craftspeople share and sell their handmade goods among the beautiful springtime park setting.  Leah will be there, so if you need a last minute gift for mom, stop by!

Located in the Bartel Pritchard entrance drive to Prospect Park at 15th Street and Prospect Park West, the fair offers easy access from the 15th St./Prospect Park "F" train, B75, B69 and B68.


And Sunday, Leah and Jonelle are off to Italy for some much needed R&R.  After that it's the Trenton Avenue Arts Festival,  the Punk Rock Flea Market, and Lingfest, Leah's birthday party and fundraiser for Girls Rock Philly, held during Philadelphia Flea Markets' June 4th event at Jefferson Square in South Philly.


Leah is donating her proceeds from organizing this event-within-an-event to Girls Rock Philly, an organization "dedicated to providing girls from the greater Philadelphia region with a positive all-female musical environment" by sponsoring local Rock and Roll camps.  How cool is that?


Lingfest brings together local artists and craftspeople to showcase their hand-produced, original works. There is limited space left, so please send your application and $45 fee via PayPal to Jonal814@gmail.com.

Fab Friday

Fab in a minute.  First, your weekend checklist:

• Tell your artist friends about Lingfest, Leah's birthday/event (does that girl ever not mix biz and fun?)  marketing hand-made works from local artists, designers and craftspeople.  Print out the application here, fees are tax deductible because this is a fundraiser for Girls Rock Philly! 

• Order tickets for RAW:Unearthed, Thursday April 7th at G Lounge.  It's a cocktail party/artist's showcase!  All local, featuring a musical performance, fashion show, film screening, art gallery, performance art and hair & makeup artists.  .Order through this link, and Leah will have a present waiting for you when you show up!  

• Start planning your outfit for Unearthed. Seriously!  This is a stylish, chic event, and you know Leah can always help with accesories.  Shop Leah Creation's Vintage Vinyl line at Smak Parlor in Old City or Nestology at the King of Prussia mall, or order online at Fashionstake.  And you can always email Leah directly at leahcreation@gmail.com. She loves custom orders!

Ok, Fabtime: 

Motown necklace and earring set

We promised Leah a Motown post this week.  Isn't it obvious how much she loves that Motor City Sound?  Who doesn't?  Berry Gordy helped bring "black music" to the mainstream, but more importantly, he brought black artists to the mainstream, into everyone's living room (and onto their turntables, of course) at the height of the Civil Rights struggle.  The social and cultural impact of that can't be measured. 

The enormous talent that Motown unleashed can't be measured, either.  These acts dominated Pop and R&B for decades, and their influence still lives on today.  We can't even list them all, and forgive us if we leave someone you love out, but sit back, crank up your speakers/headphones, and play these on full screen.  We're starting with two from everyone's favorite girl group, the embodiment of all that is FAB, the Supremes!

Local artists wanted for Lingfest!

Everyone loves celebrating their birthday, and Leah is no exception. This year she's mixing business with pleasure, coordinating Lingfest with Philadelphia Flea Markets, and it's all for a good cause!


Anyone can come to the flea market starting at 10am June 4th at Jefferson Square Park and peruse the offerings of over 125 different vendors. Be sure to stop at Leah Creation, of course!  She will have her full line on display and will be available to discuss custom orders, as always.


Leah is looking for other artists and craftspeople to join her section of the event for Lingfest, a showcase of local artists and designers and their hand-produced, original works.  


Leah is donating her proceeds from organizing this event-within-an-event to Girls Rock Philly, an organization "dedicated to providing girls from the greater Philadelphia region with a positive all-female musical environment" by sponsoring local Rock and Roll camps.  How cool is that?


An application and more info is provided here at this link, so print it out or email it to a friend who might be interested!
