so much to do....so little time....and a "thank you"

i have barely been able to adjust to the time change after a whirlwind trip to visit family for thanksgiving, and i am already preparing for another event this sunday. but before i tell you about the upcoming event, i really must say a big "thank you" to everyone who came to my little event la fête de Noël. this was such a fun event to host, and was made especially beautiful by the lovely ivette of grace and ivy. her home was lovely as usual, and she really went above and beyond her hosting duties to make this a very special occasion. be sure to read about her experience on her blog....she always has such nice photographs to see (yes, i pilfered one of these from her blog).

introducing some friends

i am so excited to share a little bit about some of my crafty friends. i am co-hosting a trunk show this saturday, la fête de Noël, with the lovely ladies listed below so i thought you might want to know about all of the goodness that you will be able to peruse at our lovely little party. oh, & i think i forgot to mention that there will be champagne at our party....if that doesn't get you there, then i don't know what will :)

i met amy two years ago working at our very first crafty wonderland event together in october 2008. we immediately befriended each other, and i feel so lucky to be working with her again this saturday. i love amy's jewelry designs. they are so delicate and feminine....much like amy herself. read the post i wrote a couple of years ago when i first met amy....i was obviously immediately enamored with her work.


jen lees is the creator of the lovely handmade greeting cards called mimi muse designs. i met jen three years ago at a small craft fair called the rebel rabbit. it was jen's first event selling her cards, and i had only been selling my shirts for a couple of months when i met her. it is always such a pleasure to work with jen. she is a rare and kind individual who makes everyone smile, especially when they see her beautiful work. jen has expanded her business to include decorated switch plates, magnets, and whatever else she has a whim to collage.


grace and ivy organic beauty products are created by the very lovely ivette newport (a.k.a. ivy). i met ivy only a few months ago, and quickly felt a strong bond with her. she is a very elegant and creative person with a keen eye for beauty. in addition to creating her beauty products, ivy also contributes to two blogs. i am always amazed with her creative posts filled with beautiful photographs, insightful ideas, and spiritual journeys. she recently took her readers on vicarious vacations, and her curated posts definitely promote my addiction to daydreaming. you really must visit her websites to fully appreciate ivy, the artist.



....and then there's me, but you should already know about me, right? by the way, if you click on my link you will notice that my online shop is actually open....woohoo! there will also be more items listed on the site by the end of the week. maybe even a couple of new designs :)

i can't tell you enough how much you will enjoy seeing the work of my friends this weekend at the sale. there is nothing better than seeing a product in person, and meeting the artist who created it. but, if you are not lucky enough to live in rainy p-town then at least i have left you with a number of shops to peruse online....have a lovely week.

seriously....i have to work?

ok, so i am still a little fuzzy in the head after a week in hawaii. i took a much needed vacation with a girlfriend, and literally sat on a beach doing nothing (well, except for the occasional sip of a tropical drink) for 5 days....no husband, no children. my major decision of the day was "should i lay on the beach, or sit by the pool"....oh, the life. but, now i am home, happy to see my little family once again & faced with a lot of work. i will be announcing a super special sale tomorrow that you p-town folks will be interested in. i am also going to be listing some items for sale on-line, and there will be a super duper BOGO sale on Etsy that i am involved in coming up soon as well. i'll give you the dets on all of this in the next couple of days. for now, i must get a few more ducks in a row, and continue daydreaming about this....
