Updates, Updates!

Wow, so I'm not sure how the first week and a half of August has already passed without a peep from my little fingers pecking out a message to blogger world. I've been busy working on sewing up a bunch of new stuff to send off to a friend's about-to-open store in Santa Ana and maybe sleeping in a little too late, too often! haha! But that's another story!

Back in July, I posted about the Indie Mart I was participating in, in San Francisco. My good friend and partner in crime, Mireya, aka el Ponk! (www.elponk.com) flew up from L.A. with her cousin to share the weekend and the table at the show. It turned out to be a cold and windy Sunday, but we were inside, so it wasn't all that bad weather-wise for us. My new designs seemed to be a big hit, so that was a good feeling!

We met some cool people, got a couple of connections and met a store owner who picked us up for her cute shop on 16th & Dolores, Needles and Pens (www.needles-pens.com). Thanks Breezy! We look forward to the start of a great relationship!!!

One of the vendors had some really great jewelry for surprisingly affordable prices: Cheri Lewis Jewelry. Very unique and interesting work. You've got to check out her etsy site: www.mamaslittlebabies.etsy.com Here's a sample of her work---

Nicole is an amazing designer and business owner and her shop will most certainly be the place to go for some of the best in DIY, handmade and unique fashion, accessories and lovely little gifts for yourself and friends & family! So, definitely keep an eye out if you're in the neighborhood!

Well, I think this is enough from me to catch up with this first part of August. I'll be sure to give you a sneak peak of my new designs the next time around! See ya soon!
