november news

:: so far november is shaping up to be quite a busy month. yesterday was The Handmade Market which is always a fun but exhausting day. i was lucky enough to have two helpers this time which allowed me to walk around, enjoy the market and to do a bit of shopping. i got this amazing print, "Tengu" from Jamie Zollars which is going to hang beside the reading chair in our bedroom as soon as i get a frame for it.below is a picture of my booth and a montage of shoppers (i appologized for the poor quality of the photos, as usual, in the mad rush to get everything packed i forgot my camera and had to resort to using my phone)

:: be sure to come out tuesday evening for Handmade on the Hill. get a start on your holiday shopping or a treat for yourself and help support a great cause, the Food Bank of Central and Eastern NC. Shoppers are asked to bring a non-perishable donation for the Food Bank or to make a monetary donation and each vendor is donating a portion of their sales. The show runs from 6:30 until 8:00 and each guest will receive a glass of wine compliments of the West End Wine Bar.

:: in other news i have a few pieces in Garth Johnson's new book, 1000 Ideas for Creative Reuse which is out this month. i already got my copy and its beautiful and filled with tons of inspiring pieces. i am numbers 330, 378, 379, & 385, you can check them out below.

hello japan!

its been a while, but i have returned to my long neglected blog. its been a busy summer. i have attended some wonderful local craft fairs, added some new designs to my line, and collected supplies for some great new fall pieces which are arriving in my etsy store as we speak (many, many more to come in the next few weeks).
the most exciting thing that has happened to me this summer was my interview with the japanese web magazine flashfilm.com. flashfilm is a lovely online magazine showcasing designers from around the world. i am very honored to have been selected as a featured designer. to see my debut into the world of japanese fashion, check out my interview here (english version).
