shop update today!

November 26, 2007

Dscn0022_1

I am trying to buy handmade this holiday. I took the pledge and I’m really trying to give it a go.  This means lots of shopping on Etsy (thank god for Etsy!) and hopefully even more at the Boston  Bizarre Bazaar on December 9, and perhaps even a visit to Magpie.

It also means lots of crafting and sewing on my  part. I have finished nine pocket tissue holders  and ordered nine lovely mirrors to give to all of Roxanne’s nursery school teachers as well as her physical and occupational therapists. And I have a giant list of things to make for family and friends. 

I think all of this is what got me into production mode this morning and thus, I have made a little shop update today.  I added some new snails and a sweet little bear as well as
some of the sculptural pieces. I hope you’ll find something that appeals to you. 

Also, I have the information now about the Pocket Utopia show in Brooklyn. Here it is:
