We found our way back.

Monday, November 15th, 2010

You sweet thangs!  It’s been awhile.  Too long.

The road trip was so dang successful that we’ve been working like MAD PEOPLE since our return.  We picked up TEN new stores in Boulder, Denver, Lawrence, Kansas City, Chicago, and Columbus.  For all you kids in the middle of the country, check out our updated Where to Buy page here!

We’ve got big things happening right now.  Expect more updates VERY soon.  In the meantime, check out our current biggest DISTRACTION:

Meet the newest addition to our family, Ms. Gingham Macpherson…

Also, come to our Grand Opening Party on Friday from 3-9 pm.  Check out details here:  On our facebook event page!!

Check back in the next few days.  We will be posting some studio-fix process photos to entice you in.

See you Friday?

Book Signing. June 17th. Be there.

Wednesday, June 16th, 2010

Hi, lovelies!  I’ve been spinning around lately, just returned from a trip down to California to sell at a big music festival, saw Lauryn Hill live, and picked up 2 new boutiques to sell betsy & iya.  Shwew!!

I’m POOPED, to say the least, but I can’t take any days off and here’s why:

You know that AWESOME book I keep rapping about, well…

on THURSDAY, JUNE 17TH, starting at 7 pm, there will be a book signing for the AUTHOR of The Handmade Marketplace, Kari Chapin.  I am sooo excited to have her in my shop and for the opportunity for you all to meet her.  If this is the first time you are hearing about the book, I shout—GET IT!  It is one of the most useful books that has ever come out for us crafter entrepreneurs.  I am so honored her publisher wanted to do the signing at my studio and even more honored that I’m a small blip in the book.

Please come by on Thursday and say hello to us!!

1722 NW Raleigh St.,  Suite #101 (on the corner)

Can’t wait to see/meet you again!

DISCOUNT: Taxes Shmaxes!

Friday, April 16th, 2010

Aren’t we all glad April 15th has passed!?!  If we’re not excited about a refund, we’re excited to have paid our dues and be moving on…or maybe we’re just excited to get the darn paperwork out of the way!

Me, Kim Werker, and Kari Chapin (author of The Handmade Marketplace) at Etsy in Brooklyn, NY.

To celebrate this momentous occasion, I am offering a special discount through Tuesday, April 20th.  Just enter “Taxes Shmaxes” into the comment box when checking out for a 20% discount on ALL ITEMS!!  After that, you can do one of two things:

a) wait for a revised invoice BEFORE you pay.  It will appear in your email inbox, click it, then pay.

OR

b) go ahead and pay and we’ll refund your discount money right away!

maybe you wanna celebrate by eating chocolate bacon??

or maybe by treating yourself to a new Peruvian Opal necklace, full of light and spring. Free shipping too!!

We work with an awesome woman who specializes in the complicated numbers from musicians, artists, indie boutiques, etc.  She has done a stellar job with our taxes; she’s affordable, fair, and fun (and who can say that about their tax person)!  I recommend her to everyone I know.

I hope you all have a lovely, beautiful, sunny, inspired weekend.  I plan on it!
