Frances Crafeteria/Urban Beans

This weekend was so fun. First off I started by participating the 5th annual Crafeteria at Frances, Phoenix's best indie craft fair. It was so fun and I met so many cool people! I even had a few folks come up to my booth and tell me they read my blog!! (Hello Ladies!!) It was so so exciting!

I did not exactly have time to get some really good pictures, which is a total bummer cause there was some seriously cute stuff I know y'all would love. I sold upcycled/repurposed grandpy sweaters and fur collars, and doily bowls filled with vintage ornaments. I was honored to display some things Etsy sent us on my booth. It was fun being able to talk to people about Etsy and the handmade movement.

On Sunday we had a booth at Urban Beans, a really good coffee shop here is Phoenix (7th st just North of Osborn. My friends Andrea and Rebecca work there so be sure to say hello!) It was really fun to spend the day surrounded my all the pretty things in our shop, relaxing after a busy weekend. 

Kenny, one of my partners in the GROWop also runs the urban garden that surrounds our shop (I know, I know I seriously need to tell you all about the GROWop and show you pictures). He brought some veggies for us to package and sell. It was so good to be able to just hang out with Kenny and I am so so excited for where the GROWop is going. I think we've got a pretty special team and I am so thankful for my boys : )

How was your weekend? Did you do anything fun? Anyone celebrate Hanukkah (is that spelled right?)?

Redesign/Thanksgiving Eats

Sorry for my absence over the weekend but I'm back and super excited to show off my pretty blog redesign! What do you think? My friend James was a sweetheart, dealing with my indecisiveness and passivity, and helped me create this beauty.

This weekend was a pretty good one. I am still sick (boo!). I guess I probably should have got some rest when it first hit. Now i am pretty certain it has morphed into a sinus infection. I tried last week to make it go away- by doing nasal rinse and taking decongestants. But to no avail. So I am caving and heading to the doctor this afternoon for some antibiotics. But besides that I had a lot fun this weekend celebrating some birthdays and I got some time to work on making some crafts for the Crafeteria coming up. This fair is the best indie craft fair in Phoenix and I am soooo excited and honored to be a part of it!

It has been/will be a ton of work but I know it'll be worth it! 

I am excited for this short week. I am going to try to do as much as possible during this short work week so that over the holiday weekend I can relax, sleep in, read my book, and spend some quality time with my friends and family.

How was your weekend? What did you do?

So pretty!

I wish I could have gone to the Little Winter Handmade Market- because Portland is super neat and this video from Clever Nettle is just so pretty! I love how simple and pretty the place is decorated. So inspiring!
