dream, love....

I'm super excited about these new creations for my Dreams of Spring pop-up art show at Leanna Lin's Wonderland this Saturday. Each image was thoughtfully paired with a word from a well loved book of poems....looking forward to making more for the shop, Unique LA and hopefully one for myself!

Hello! I am taking a pajama day (as you can see from the top photo) to rest after a very busy four days. Unique Los Angeles was a fantastic show in every way, Sonja is an amazing person to have gathered so much talent under one penthouse roof and to have the entire weekend go perfectly wonderful! I shared a booth with my friend Sasha, you can find her artistic silver jewelry here and you still have a day to order something in time for Christmas, her work is gorgeous (for yourself and as gifts). My mom and Case came on different days to help work the booth (thank you!). We had a corner spot right across from Johnny Cupcakes (wow, and I traveled all the way to his Boston shop this summer) I met all sorts of artists I have admired from Etsy, I was particularly excited to meet Elizabeth from esoule, her work is absolutely beautiful and  I appreciated it even more seeing it in person. It was such a treat to sell to customers in person and hear how much they loved my work. I discovered Cake Monkey (everything they make is delicious!) and The Poster List, where Case and I purchased a poster from Adam. I felt like doing a little baking on Saturday night (banana cream cheese cupcakes) to express my thanks and appreciation to a couple special people. Finally, the Bumble photo is me feeling a little scattered on Thursday, while I was prepping for the show. Now I'm off to curl up with Hermie and enjoy every second of my pajama day.                                   

p.s. There's a new item in my shop that I think is pretty darn cute!

saturday + sunday: 11.8 to 11.9

I met so many fellow artists/Etsians on Saturday at my first show, it was wonderful. Not only did we share ideas and tips, I got to do a little shopping. I fell in love with delicate silver disc earrings at Sasha Bell's shop, wore them home and picked up a Pure Light candle that smells like pure happiness. My mom (so grateful that she worked the show with me, thank you!) couldn't resist the tiny pocket bear from Did it Myself/happi commmi press. I was delighted to see how much the customers loved my work and so happy to meet each one. The show was well organized and I was so happy to feel prepared and am definitely looking forward to doing many more in the future. After such a full day it was perfect that some rain greeted the day this morning...a bit of relaxation.
