Silk Scarf Giveaway!

I am putting together a big post that will be full of some juicy craft fair fun from this weekend, but you will have to wait to read it until tomorrow! For now, you can console yourselves by visiting Amy over at A Whim Of Mine. She has written a lovely review of my hand dyed silk scarves, and is giving one away to one lucky reader!

Here is a photo of the scarf that is up for grabs. So what are you waiting for? Go check out her super cute blog and enter! Many thanks to Amy for the fabulous write up and for taking the time to take such lovely photos of my scarves. I can barely contain my excitement for Friday to see who the winner will be!

My First Advertising Attempt

I just sent off the graphics for my first advertising space. How neat is that? I feel like a real business now. I don't plan on doing a ton of advertising at the moment, but when I see a place that looks like it would be a perfect fit how can I say no? You can check out my new fancy pants ads in the next issue of Spoon Zine coming out in June.


In the words of it's creator, Tina Jett:

"Spoon is a bi-monthly, digital zine project based on the little things that make life awesome: inspirations, experiences, and simplicity... a virtual pot pie of art, photography, food, travel, events, and life in general. The project will last for one year, beginning with Issue No. 1 (Dec/Jan 2011) and ending with Issue No. 6 (Oct/Nov 2011).

It is based upon the notion that...

• the things that make us truly happy cost little or nothing
• inspiration is everywhere
• we should never take ourselves too seriously
• there is beauty in the old
• celebrating holidays, changing seasons, and life events remind us how we are all connected
• we should never stop learning
• we tend to get bogged down with too much excess, be it mass-produced and material goods, waste, drama, or action - simplify!"

Those are definitely sentiments I agree with and try to bring to every item I make. While I obviously hope that my first foray into advertising will turn out to be beneficial for me, I am just content to know that I have supported a creative endeavor like this and I am really excited to have been a part of it. So what are you waiting for? Go read the past issues of Spoon and get ready to read the newest one in a few short weeks!
