My summer vending season is slowly coming to an end, which means I can have my shop open a bit more! I have been listening to some of my customers tell me I am just never open.. well that is not REALLY true but I know in the summer I need to have minimal hours to keep up with my skirt making! ;)

Here are the new Fall hours.. I am going to experiment with Thursday hours so they are subject to change!

Tuesday... 11-6
Wednesday... 11-6
Thursday... 11-7
Friday ... 11-6
Saturdays.. The first Saturday of every month(gallery walk) 1-9


Believe it or not the holidays are just around the corner & I have added a new holiday show to my list this year! I am so excited to be a part of the Sandra Began holiday event (in Appleton)October 14th & 15th! Be sure to save the date!!



I also am going to work on restocking my etsy shops! They look a little sad & need some new inventory. Stay tuned I have alot planned for the upcoming holiday season & I can hardly believe that Handmade for the Holidays is right around the corner!

The creative connection event!

This past weekend I had the pleasure of being part of the creative connection event marketplace in St. Paul Mn.! I was asked to join my good friend Naomi of The glitter workshop & our friend Andrea of Space oddities.

This is our booth! :) The event was AMAZING!!! I made some unbelieveable contacts & I can't wait to see what comes of it! I came back feeling so inspired & confident! I REALLY do love what I do! It was a firm affirmation that even through the tough times I need to keep on going!

Thank you to everyone who attended & bought our wares! I think our booth was truly magical!



The energy & support from many of the other crafters, artists & designers there was sooo AWESOME!



I made many new friends & saw some old ones too! Madison was well represented.. our booth neighbor Molly from Whimsy House was right next door(she used to consign at my old shop), as well as Alison from Artsy Fartsy & the lovely ladies at Anthology!



We had quite an adventure getting there.. but all in all we made it safe & sound! We had so much fun & I can't wait til' next year!

xo!
