Renegade Craft show in L.A.

So yesterday, Jessica and I headed up to L.A. for the Renegade Craft show to meet Danni from Oh, Hello Friend. The drive up was nice, the traffiic wasn't too bad and there were lots of laughs on the way. It was the first time we got to meet Danni in person, up until yesterday we had only talked online. Meeting new friends is always exhilirating and it was a very pleasant experience. I'm usually very shy and introverted until I get to know someone, so actually meeting people isn't always easy for me. We also met Steppie, she was sharing a booth with Danni (and she has super ridiculously cute stuff!).

The spoils of my Renegade Craft show shopping experience. I went with a very strict budget of $25 and I stuck with it. I came home with these goodies though, and love love love them all! The postcard by Oh, Hello Friend was free, but it's so pretty I'm gonna frame it and hang it up in my studio/office.

This thing was hilarious. A lady sat inside with a microphone and once you slid in $2 she made all these sound effects while she "processed" the money and you chose which kind of postcard you wanted...it was cute, and she definetely got a lot of attention! Jessica gave Danni money to see what the Postcard Machine was all about.

Danni's brother brought his Photo Booth machine to the craft fair so we couldn't resist taking pics. Mainly we couldn't stop giggling long enough to take a decent picture, so in 99% of them somebody is making a funny face. :)

Etsy had a booth set up there as well to promote the website. I got a free sticker and a button. =)
You can see more pics of yesterday on my flickr.

Flowery

New product! These gorgeous 100% silk flower pins are available on my website. Cut, singed, and sewn by hand.

They're the perfect accessory to so many things! Blouses, jackets, purses, canvas totes, scarves, gloves, bookbags, etc. I'm working on hairpins and haircombs as well, which will be a must-have for brides and bridesmaids!

Cutest Shop Ever. Period.

PetiteHouse.etsy.com

Petite House is the newest sensation to hit Etsy. It is shop owner Jessica's second shop on Etsy (her first being jessicajane.etsy.com). So if it looks familiar, that's because it is. Jessica has a very unique and distinctive style. She describes it as being "Rustic and neutral.Bright and modern." and I couldn't agree more.

Her little houses have already been featured in a storque article, within hours of being listed. Petite Houses feature bright and happy colors and fun themes. They each have a detachable roof and are hollow on the inside, making them an adorable place to hide your little treasures. I plan on ordering a pink and brown one from her for my daughter's room. I think it would be a cute little way to store her first lock of hair.

Visit Petite House today, and hurry! They're selling fast!

Featured Etsian: ScribbleIt

Cherish the little things Wall Decal from ScribbleIt.

I absolutely love anything to do with home decor. Unfortunately, I have a limited budget and live in an apartment, so my options are very few. However, thanks to wall decals like the ones in ScribbleIt's shop I can decorate without breaking the bank OR breaking my apartment's rules! I love how interesting her wall decals look. She offers a variety of color options on her decals as well, making it easy for you to customize your look.

My custom tutu from Sirena Boutique!

So my best friend has a shop on Etsy selling hair bows and tutus for little girls. I love tutus, they are so very girly, so of course my little one HAD to have one. It's still a bit big on her (I ordered a larger size for when she is old enough to sit up) but I was too impatient to wait until she's 6 months old to put it on. ; )

Her tutus and hair bows are very reasonably priced and make a super fun gift for the little princesses in your life.

Happy Friday!

Booties!!

Baby booties handmade by my Mom!

How cute are these? My mom (and brand new Grandma!) made these for my daughter (and her namesake). She'll be bringing them with her when my family comes to visit from Columbia, SC at the end of the month. I can't wait!! My baby is a preemie, but she has some huge feet, so I hope they'll fit! I just LOVE handmade baby stuff! My mom should sell these in her etsy shop. =)
