July 1st, 2008 | by Jessie | Last weekend Jett and I met my sister and mom in downtown Des Moines for the Des Moines Art Festival. I love it. We try to go every year – I don’t know how many years in a row we’ve been now. Something always inspires me there. A particular art piece or a whole artist’s [...]
