Whatever you call it, it's going to be FUN! Usually I'm at UniqueLA this weekend, but not this year. So instead I'm having a big sale at my house, FRIDAY and SATURDAY!. It's going to be a great time with great deals, so come by, bring a friend have a cup of Sangria with me. Here is your official invitation, with all the details:
Lanky says, "Stay tuned for the final reveal!"
Every day I think, "I should REALLY post on my blog". Then I get REALLY busy doing something else. Like making these super cute vintage pillowcase blouses. There are a bunch of them over in my ETSY shop.
Then I drove to Newport Beach and set up my little shop at the Lido Village Artisan Market. I'll be there again on April 7th, if you're in the neighborhood.
I made a few cookies. These were really fun. They were for a group of lady friends who were going on a trip to wine country, the Redwoods, the ocean, whale watching.
And then there was St. Patrick's Day. I had more orders than usual this year, which was nice. I'm now making a gluten free version by special order. They taste very good! Different, but good.
And of course there was a little relaxing to do . . . at least for Lanky. . .
. . . and the kitties. I had more sewing to do, cookies to make, classes to teach. I promise to be back sooner to tell you more. For now, I'm in the thick of Easter cookie making! Oh, I love my life! Really! I'm not kidding.
Well, what can I say. I've had a very busy Valentine cookie season. I've so enjoyed talking to all of my customers and spreading some sweet cookie love. But now, I'm just a bit exhausted, so I'm going to take the night off, order a pizza, and eat some chocolate. xo to all.
I'll be setting up my booth today for my final show of the season! Unique LA is always fun for me. Sonja Rasula, the creator of Unique, does and incredible job curating a diverse and large collection of amazing vendors! If you're in LA this weekend don't miss it!
I'll have my full array of handmade goodness for babies through ladies, boys and girls, including these vintage tablecloth skirts, sizes 2T through 8.
Starting next week, I'll have my home studio boutique set up and open for shopping through Christmas. I'll also have an Etsy update. Mostly I'll be decorating mountains of cookies! If you haven't ordered yours, FREE shipping on holiday cookie pre orders ends Saturday, December 1st!
Time to get back to work. I have to load up the van. . . in the rain.
If you didn't already know. . . I have two shops, Etsy, and a separate web store. Yes, it's confusing. There is some overlap in the shops, but there are also some items that are only in one or the other. So please check them both out. You may find just what you're looking for! After the first of the year, I'm probably going to condense into one, probably Etsy. Thanks for shopping!
This was my set up at Patchwork on Sunday. It was a great show, with wonderful vendors and enthusiastic shoppers! I sold out of lots of goods, so I've been busy this week sewing like mad. After the Halloween cookie rush, I'm glad to be back in my sewing studio playing with fabric. I have another sale this weekend in Pacific Palisades. The Home tour and Holiday Boutique is a fundraiser sponsored by the Pacific Palisades Women's Club.
Here are some cookies I've done over the last few weeks, in between the spooky ones.
These were for some dear friends' children's fish themed birthday party.
Disney theme for a school principal's birthday.
More special order birthday cookies.
Something special for someone's special parents.
And owls for a baby shower. Owls are still so popular. Do you think this trend will ever end? Cuz I'm still crocheting owl hats. What do you think is the next big thing in design?
Pumpkin head.
Owl head.
Thought I'd drop in for a minute in between mountains of Halloween cookie orders, to share a couple of things I've been working on. Fall has finally come to So. Cal. and all is well.
