recent press

I've had two very busy days in my Etsy shop thanks to some really wonderful press. First, Grace featured the cozy/cuff on design*sponge. Then Tara did a lovely post on the cozy/cuff and my new ornaments over at INK + WIT. Thanks, ladies!

You might be wondering how I was lucky enough to get such nice press, but truthfully, it wasn't all luck. I actually emailed both ladies (along with several other bloggers). It really is as simple as that. (Sort of.) The key is to make sure you send a polite, personalized email with great pictures and a clear description of your product. To a blog that's right for your work. And don't get angry if they don't feature you. And be sure to say thank you if they do.

Thanks again, Grace and Tara! And thanks to everyone who bought something. And thanks to you for reading this! This is one of those weeks where I can see how truly blessed I am, and what an amazing job I have. Thank you!

leaves

Sometimes when I spend all day working on production, it can seem a little hard to find things to blog about.  Though I guess today I could mention how I sat down to work and my oxygen tank was COMPLETELY empty.  Which meant a trip to the welding supply shop before I could do anything.  

There you go, I did have something to blog about.  But the picture is probably similar to something I've shown before.  Lots of leaves on my bench.

And speaking of leaves, Janick of neawear was nice enough to post about my work on her blog, Creativadoration.  Thanks!

desktop camping

I love camping AND paper models - so there's nothing I'd like more than to have this paper camping set on my desk.

And speaking of Design*Sponge, thanks so much to Grace for posting about my new work this week!

recent press

I was recently included in an article on jewelry in DCasa Magazine. I have know idea what it says though - anyone out there who can translate? (Thanks so much to Sarah for sending me a scan of the article, otherwise I never would have seen it.)

And also, thanks to Grace for including me in design*sponge's Renegade wrap-up. That totally made my day!

And thanks to everyone who commented on my last post. That may be one of my favorite things about blogging - getting such wonderful support from a community like you. Thanks!
