Fab Friday

Got any weekend plans? Leah's hitting the road for Pittsburgh's Handmade Arcade. If you're in that area be sure to check it out!


Another busy week for Leah, but it's all worth it!  In addition to all these spring shows, Leah sold a pair of these Highrise earrings on FashionStake. Leah has lots of items for sale online, (like these Buddah earrings) so check it out.


For your fab, another MJ hit. Leah says:


On Friday Jonelle and I took a trip to Tru Blu Tatu in Bristol to get our ink worked on. Jerome Gunn 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.


Can't wait to see those, Leah! Happy Friday, everyone!

Go West!

Leah is still on a high from last week's RAW:Unearthed.  The crowd at GLounge was very impressed with Leah's offerings.  


There was a cluster of folks browsing the Vintage Vinyl line all night, many lingering over certain displays before settling on a purchase.  


The RAW crowd was so into Leah, she's been invited to do a show in another city of her choice!  Leah says she's "California Dreaming"!  That definitely calls for a YouTube hit:





Leah did venture slightly "west" last weekend, to the Go West Craft Fest in West Philly.  Leah says: 


"It was a great show!!!!! I got to meet so many West Philly Leah Creation fans and return customers. Unfortunately I don't have any pictures, I was seriously too busy. My jewelry was a hit!



Leah is going further west this weekend, for Handmade ArcadePittsburgh’s largest indie craft fair.  Drop in on Leah at the David L. Lawrence Convention Center this Saturday, April 16!

Fab Friday

The fab started early this week with last night's Raw: Unearthed cocktail-and-art party at GLounge.  How much fun was that?

Many new Leah Creation fans were met last night!  Leah us still buzzing from the excitement.  

We'll have more next week, but enjoy the snaps we took of Leah's displays.  So many great new pieces!

The space really was "super swanky", and filled with art, fashion, photography, music -- everywhere you looked there seemed to be someone displaying their crafts and talents.

Special thanks to RAW:natural born artists for giving our awesome Philly talent a venue to promote their work!

In the spirit of Unearthed, we're featuring Foreign Exchange for today's music feature.

They performed last night and Leah loves these guys!  Made up of members Justin Rockstar and Gabrielle, their sound mixes pop, rock, R&B, hip hop.

They take pride in bringing their recorded music to life on stage with the same energy and vocal prowess: 


"We just want to bring back the lost art of the live performance. We are here to prove that good music can be made in any genre.

Amen to that!  Click here for their Raw profile and a sample of their music.  

Have a great weekend, everyone!

"Kenny White, photographer, hosted the show.  His friends Mike Tyler and Montana were there to entertain us with their musical styling and sense of humor.  


"Mike, who has worked with artist as diverse as Cypress Hill, Billy Joel, Nas, Fishbone, P-Funk and L.L. Cool J (and way too many more to mention) was recently honored with a Philly Urban Legend award for his work in hip hop!  They are another LingFest hopeful!
