Casey Face Believes in “Creative Adventures,” With Her Kids. She Is On A Big One Herself

by Jon Katz

The other day, I wrote about Casey Face, the dreamer who is hard at work refurbishing a horse trailer to house her planned coffee and sandwiches and baked goods cart supplied entirely by local bakers, coffee-brewers, and young farmers, texted me this morning while on a “creative adventure” with Evelynne, her oldest daughter.

I love the idea of the “creative adventure.”  it reminds me of Sue Silverstein and her work with the refugee children at Bishop Gibbons. And even more, I love the idea of a young dreamer undeterred by skeptics and nay-sayers. The case is taking the plunge; bless her. I hear people whining that things are awful and too expensive everywhere I go. Casey doesn’t complain. She does.

A few days after her second daughter was born, Casey sold coffee at the Farmer’s Market. She is creative, articulate, and stubborn. I’m optimistic.

“We went to the “Vintage Market Days” in Rutland, Vt., ” Casey wrote a few minutes ago. I am so glad she thought of me.

“I scored two children’s chairs for the girl’s playroom I am redesigning. I love going to these antique fairs to gain some inspiration from other creatives like myself.”

In my mind, this is when creatives shine when they search for new ideas and ways of doing things and think about what they see.

Evelynne, like her mother,  is already hooked on the idea of creativity. Casey has talked to just about everyone in town about her food care – how it should look, what kind of food, how much to charge, how to hook up to a network of fellow young creatives seeking to revolutionize the way country people are eating.

Casey is the real deal. Her house is filled with ideas she writes down as she collects them.

I’m excited to be chronically her coffee cart dream; she is working hard to get there and learning everything there to learn.

With her permission, I’ll be following along with her. The idea of the “creative adventure” is a good one. I expect to see her and her. Temporary cart at the Farmer’s Market On Sunday
