grain is great.

Happy Friday! This is one of my favorite pictures of my table. It was taken by the lovely Anabela of fieldguided, who I was so excited to meet at little winter. She's one of those lovely gals who takes dreamy film pictures. Abby also look lots of great film photos of little winter you can see here.

I'm sans camera until mine is fixed, what am I to do? You'll probably be seeing a bunch of iphone pics, of which I'm going to apologize in advance. Maybe I'll finally put up those videos of gigi running around. Speaking of my crazy pup, I haven't been able to watch the latest modern family because she is totally scarred by fire alarms going off and with one beep she almost has a heart attack. She literally tried to run away. Very traumatic night.

Just a reminder, I'm having a shop update today at 5pm eastern time. I've been wearing a white one around for a week, and just to be someone passing on some info, it hasn't gotten dirty yet. I just am careful to not eat with it on (and I don't wear lipstick). I just know people have liked the white, but were concerned that they would get it dirty, so just letting you know, friend-to-friend.

shop update!

Hi everyone! I'm finally ready for a shop update. I will be updating my shop with five colors of scarves, very limited quantities of each. The shop will be updated tomorrow (Friday) at 5pm eastern time. You can check out the shop to see all the colors and pictures before it is updated.

The next shop update should be the beginning of December, after my show at second storie.

heart bursting.

I can't even describe this weekend in words. Little Winter was a dream, and it blew away my already grand expectations. I was able to meet so many lovely people, the space looked magical, and so many people came out to support all these artists. Abby and Chelsea really worked so so hard and they created a beautiful event. I got a really great positive response about my scarves, and it pretty much blew my mind to see people wearing them around. Each and every person who took one home really touched my heart.

My sister helped me out so much, and also brought around her little Theo to keep me and everyone around us company (such a charmer). He was such a good baby, just smiling and happy all day long. I have so many things I could say about all the wonderful and super talented artists there. I had to really have some self control and picked out a few things.

I made the yarn wrapped branch for my table the night before the event, and I loved how it turned out. It was a labor of love for sure. I couldn't bring it back with me on the plane, and I was overjoyed that Sally wanted to have it. I'm glad it went to a good home! 

I'll try and fill you in this week but for now, I'm just so happy and it was a dream come true. I'm going to get an update on my shop as soon as I can, I'll let you know! Join my mailing list to get the latest news.

****check out the video by anja of clever nettle, it is a great little peek, you can see one of my scarves on someone that picked one up, it tickled me to see that!

Hello to new friends I met this weekend and new people over here for the first time, please say hi!

huge giveaway!

On Poppytalk today they are having a huge giveaway for Little Winter. Seriously probably one of the best giveaways I've ever seen! (and that's not just be I'm in it). 14 vendors contributed to this giveaway, and there are so many wonderful things. Leave a comment on the giveaway post and the winner will be announced next week.

There is also going to be a party on Friday at west elm, a little meet and greet for anyone in Portland. Please come say hi if you can come, just look for the girl that has a double, I'm bringing my twin along.

guess what?

I'm having a big sale. I've been cleaning out my studio and decided to let go of some of my favorite magnets, I became so attached to those little scraps of fabric. They all are made with my best vintage fabrics from my collection, with a few that made with vintage lace and crochet doilies.

I decided to list them as singles, and let people pick their own sets. That is one thing I miss about selling these at shows, it's so fun to see people put together sets that they love, it's so personal and end up much better than sets I put together. So curate your own favorites.

In the spirit of one of my favorite things, estate sales and flea markets, the more you buy the more you save!

1-4 magnets 10% off
5-9 magnets 20% off
10 or more 30% off

I will refund the sale amount after payment.
Of course I will include a super awesome magnetic vintage playing card, I love them!  Yes they are magnetic, they are a really thin sheet of steel, they came with a special board for playing camping or in windstorms I guess.

Which ones would you put together?

back to the city

This weekend we had a quick trip to NYC to visit my brother and his wife while they were there visiting. We only had about one day, but it was really fun to hang out with them and laugh and talk. Of course we shopped, and ate some great food. I only took like 1 picture, at times I feel the need to just experience, and enjoy the moment, rather than document it. Do you ever feel that way? I was able to go some of my favorite places, muji, kinokuniya, and of course we got pinkberry with mochi. We were also able to meet up with some good friends and they took us to an amazing dumpling place. So nice to catch up with family and friends. It was a great weekend! I'll be showing off my kinokuniya finds soon.

Did you see how the internet was buzzing yesterday about Shanna's launch of her decals? They are really great. I got the extra-large dotted garland, which will be perfect for a big wall space we are trying to fill in our living room. I love how it is something that I can add to, and make my own creative space with it. Although I do love how it's on a chalkboard–I'm tempted to put it on mine! p.s. did you notice that she put some magnets in her shot? Put a smile on my face.

valentines

Here are some postcards that designed and screen printed with my gocco printer. I saw this motif on a dress that Ginger Rogers wore in the movie Carefree, she had a huge heart on her shoulder, and arrows on the front and back. I loved it.

These are two color, two-sided prints. It's fun to send a postcard, these are printed on sturdy chipboard. I posted some sets in my shop, just in time for Valentine's day. Do you send out valentines?
