Yoooo if you’re looking ahead to your next #BostonWeekend thread, put a spot in your calendar to drop by the Fluff Festival THIS Saturday 9/20 2-6p in Union Square. I’ll be there with many bags for all kinds of nerds (bio/med folks, I have new stuff just for you) and there will be so many other lovely vendors with lovely homemade things. It’s a fun time. Stop by.

Thanks to everyone who came out to celebrate Fluff Festival yesterday! I got to meet @mjk and others despite the...let's call it "damp" weather (ok it was pouring sideways for some bits). I love this weird little piece of Somerville culture and it was super cool to get to participate as a vendor for the first time.

Many thanks also to the artists, food & drink vendors, performers, and musicians who made the day special, and of course to the organizers, sponsors, and volunteers who make the whole thing happen. You are truly the magic behind the scenes.

Also mad thanks to my husband, @knizer, for putting up with my bonkers ideas. Another fine mess I've gotten us into, my dear.

If you weren’t able to make it out, most of my Fluff 2024 collection is posted on my website (link in bio). (I’ll be uploading the smaller items like zippered pouches and headbands in the coming days; thank you for your patience.). Or if marshmallows aren’t your thing, take a look at some of my other listings celebrating ttrpgs, science, books & libraries, and more.

Keep on Fluffin, my friends.

Ok it’s a wee bit damp (….ok maybe it’s a lot damp) and fall-like but we are doing the fluff thing TODAY, union square, 2-6p. Loads of bags of all sizes for sale, much cute, come check things out. My booth will be set up right outside the entrance to Bow Market. #SomervilleMA #noplacelikefluff #flufffestival #loveunionsquare #handmade #shoplocal

#BostonWeekend 20th-22nd September 2024: a Thread (1/x)

#massachusetts - with a slight chill in the air, its starting to feel like Autumn. #WhatTheFluff is this weekend in #SomervilleMA, our annual #FluffFestival - thus, a #MarshmallowTest poll: you’re in a room with nothing to do. You’re presented with a marshmallow. You’re told you can eat it now, or wait patiently for a few minutes to get a second marshmallow, and eat both.
