dig this sponsor: tart
August 22, 2012

Welcome back to dig sponsor tart! This fabulous store is located in Bozeman, Montana and online for your easy shopping excitement. tart is a wonderful source for gift-giving or self-indulging (we find something we can’t live without every time we visit — Margot’s new favorite book). Everything sold is made in Montana! In tartress Anna Visscher’s words: With an emphasis on recycled, repurposed and sustainable materials, tart strives to support Montana artists while minimizing its environmental footprint. Oh – and getting you the very finest wearable and wallable art around. tart offers all dig readers free shipping with coupon code DIG THIS.

This month, tart exhibits the stunning cut paper artwork by Karin Neff. From tart’s website, about Karin’s approach: Reducing a three-dimensional landscape or flower to two dimensions requires hours and hours of just looking; mentally de-constructing the parts that make up the whole.

Karin also creates reproductions of her original pieces (check out the notecards!) and she put together a fabulous 2013 calendar. One of you lucky ducks will win one! Leave a comment, answering this question: What’s your favorite part of summer? For another entry, like tart on facebook and leave a separate comment here telling us you did so.

That cut paper is *exquisite*. Summer love…I only get one? Dang, this year I’d say dining outside. This is the first time in years that we’ve had a good place to eat outside.

Beautiful art, the calendar is so cool. My favorite part of summer is all the fresh food…picking berries, growing veggies, grilling…yum.

I love your calendars! And the notecards! Wow and the headbands! This site is awesome 🙂

My fave part of summer? Having my kids home. Hands down winner. My daughter is a freshman and son is a 4th grader and we had a blast this summer! We played hours of Monopoly, Sequence, Phase 10 and other games. Stayed up late watching Hell’s Kitchen and Wipeout. Love them lots!!

While I love the time outside, the heat, the gardening, the plants and the vibrancy of life, my favorite part of summer might actually just be tomatoes. Man do I love tomatoes. And they only taste good and right in summer!

Oh man – love Karin’s work!

Favorite part of summer? I have to pick just one part!?!? I would have to say the slower pace that occurs with the increase in daylight hours.

Karin’s work is absolutely stunning….I think I had my favorite moment of summertime today when there was a slight autumnal feel in the air this morning, but when I then stood in my garden listening to the crickets with the hot sun beating down and juicy tomatoes ready to pick, it was pure heavenly summer.

The Summer is so full of fun and great family times it is hard to pick just one. This year I’ll say my favorite part is the hours spent working in my yard and garden while my girls spend hours in the sand box.

Tomatoes. I always cave every winter and try to make bruschetta, hoping to replicate a small taste of Summer. Every winter I fail and scold myself to wait patiently. Tomatoes are the best part of Summer.
