handmade boutique

it's coming. my bedtime has been officially moved back. you can find me from 8-12 in my sewing room. usually i have my headphones in, listening to some sort of podcast or audio book. 
actually, i'm looking for a new book. any suggestions? 

ok on with the other ladies...
i am excited to have three other talented women joining me for the night.
dana carona, erin dobbins, lindsey garcez, and darrah gooden

dana is definitely a multi talented women. and we will get the pleasure of seeing what she and her sewing machine can come up with. i know she is bringing some cute twirl skirts, some rice packs (you know the ones you heat up and use when you are p.m.s.ing), and many other fun items made of new and vintage fabrics.

erin dobbins is an amazing artist. she is pretty darn legit. go look at her website and see for yourself. she will be bringing many of her famous prints and greeting cards. beauty on paper.

linsdey garcez has a great sense of style. and she is one crafty woman. you will def want to come see what she has to offer. she will be bringing some of the most adorable crocheted hair accessories and other goodies. 

darrah gooden has recently created a line of children's illustrations you have to come check out. they are beautiful. darrah is a talented artist with a wide range of abilities. it will be worth checking out what goods she brings.

so if you get a moment, please stop by and take a look around. we would love to have you.
may 20th 6 to 9 at night. dallas, texas
my house (email for directions)

now back to that sewing machine and my headphones.
really, any audio book suggestions? fiction? anyone?

well, hello may

may?! really?!
my friend dana pointed out that the majority of my last posts have all started with an apology for not blogging. so yeah. there's that. 

let's move on... :)

i still have aprons. come and get them!
last november, after wilson's birthday and before thanksgiving, i hosted a handmade boutique in my home. it was such a fun night. women came to shop, have wine and be with friends. it was a totally success. thanks to all who came and supported us. here are a few pictures from the night.







so remember my friend in africa... apron girl... she is getting married! well she is technically a married woman in uganda. but she is having a traditional american wedding celebration in august and yours truly wants to go be a part of the celebration. that said, tickets to africa are expensive. 
my last boutique helped raise half of the cost for a ticket. (thanks ladies!)
i'm gearing up to host another show in a couple weeks. i hope to raise the remainder of that ticket cost.
would you like to come be a part? i would love to have you stop by and say hello, grab some cheese and buy a little happy.
so mark your calendar May 20th. come stop by between 6 and 9. bring your friends.
would you send me an email if you need the address?
thanks friends.

stay tuned for more info on the other ladies who are joining me this time.

enjoy a little sneak peek. 



 
see you soon!
