funkytown is back! actually, it never quite went away. a few die-hards kept a skeletal presence in funkytown through the winter, but now that the first blooms are in sight, the little village is growing quickly again. for those of you new to artsyville, funkytown was started by someone in our neighborhood last year by tossing a few toys in their side yard, and over the summer it evolved into a fun trading environment. people bring arts, crafts, junky kid toys - weird random stuff lives in harmony here. my favorite things today were the flower that someone fashioned out of an egg carton - so clever - and the beautiful headbands that arrived in the mail for my girls from a sweet art friend. my least favorite thing today: just look at birdiegirl's NAUGHTY purple fingers. she found a bottle of liquid watercolor this afternoon.

What a coinkydink! I just found orange man's leg and hand on Monday -- we'll have to stop by Funkytown again.
OMG your neighborhood sounds totally awesome!!
if i didn't know what your post was about, reading christy's comment sounds just hilarious!
i must wander over that way to see funkytown!
oh birdigirl, well, at least it's a pretty color! :)
Funkytown, huh? I LOVE IT! Wish I had a cool neighborhood like yours...mines full of old people who have no fun and no sense of wonder (or sense of humor, either)...BAH!
YAY for FUNKYTOWN!!!
Peace & Love,

Huloooooo Funkytown! Hooray! I've missed you. I see McD's is a proud sponsor. And painted fingers are the proud marks of a true artist. :)
what a great idea, such fun for the kidddies, and seems for mom too.
But you have to admit that Birdiegirl has a great sense of colour - her fingers perfectly match her outfit!
i love this idea so much! i'd love to start something like that somewhere. :)
How fun! Looks like this is where all the random Happy Meal toys go to vacation!
OH YAY! I love funkytown - glad to see all the new stuff. Can you spare some creative input? Please see my post - thanks! http://pleasesirblog.blogspot.com/2009/03/need-your-input.html

Purple fingers... that reminds me -- must find a more secure place for my art papers before TwoBoo gets old enough to crawl.

Such an uplifting post and appropriate to discover on the first day of spring, so happy!
this is so cool it makes me wish i lived right beside you! and i'm reading it on the first (well, second) day of spring when i will go to my own funkytown garden center and plot and plan my secret neighborhood, which will include plastic flamingos and plastic lizards and one overweight frog. oh, and an elf or two and maybe one effeminine ken doll....
I LOVE this!! I declare, my whole house/garden is Funkytown......
I wish I could bring some denizens! I think the purple fingertips are quite attractive.
I don't even have words for funkytown....except that I love it!
