Featured treasury

My sparrow dress was on the front page of Etsy yesterday, thanks to a treasury list by Mon Atelier. I'm starting a new project making headbands / fascinators with my painted birds. I'll hopefully have some in my Etsy shop within the week. Now that my hair is starting to grow out, but not really long enough to pull back, a headband is the perfect solution!

Coterie and Pitchfork

Thanks to everyone who stopped by my booth at Pitchfork. Can you say great people watching? The hipsters were out in full effect :) I met people who came from all over the county, and my favorite Canadians from Winnepeg! Thanks to Coterie for putting on a great show. Check out the photos for some of my favorite vendors / purchases.

Look Mom, its my booth!

Dress rack

Super fun new vendor - Eyesore, custom, unique eye patches. So, I had to buy one.

I'd like to think so, and thanks to Rar-rar Press I can tell the world.

So awesome - a new onesie design from "Rhymes with Twee" - I love her stuff!

And speaking of love, Pockit-palz does it again...I want this guy so bad! But first, I need a room for him.

Go Berwyn! and the suburbs in general...

So yesterday I participated in Constructor 2.0 at Fitzgerald's Bar in Berwyn, just a few miles west of the city. It was AWESOME. really. really. awesome. The weather was perfect, just the right mix of crafters, and the shoppers were wonderful. I had a great time. Thanks to everyone including Fly Bird and Sheriff Peanut for putting on a great show.

Here's the coolest plush ever that I scored at the show:
It's a "Pock-it Palz" - a friend with a friend. Yeah. I love it!

On the Thrillist

So, I meant to blog about this a couple weeks ago when it actually happened, but I'm doing it now instead. I got a bunch of random orders for my "Meet me at the Crotch" t-shirt 2 Wednesdays ago and was wondering, hmm...what's up? Then someone told me I had been featured in Thrillist. What?! Awesome. Here's the little write-up...

Did I just see that?

Its not everyday that you see a squirrel casually munching on a nacho chip right outside your front door. So, I decided to document this awesomeness and share it with the world. I know I haven't blogged in a while, but I'm going to try and share when any kind of inspiration hits - whether or not "business" related. Who wants to think about business all the time when there are squirrels with the munchies?

Spring fashion!

So, it actually does feel kind of springy today in Chicago, even though it couldn't be any grayer. But, I found out yesterday that my peacock dress is in an Etsy contest for the best of spring fashion. If you have a minute, give me a click! The voting ends in 6 days.

Ladybird Johnson

This is a design for a Decemberists poster contest. The winner will get printed and used for their show at SXSW where they will peform "The Hazard of Love" (their new album) in entirety. Entirety? Is that a word? I think so. Anyway, apparentally they are obsessed with Ladybird Johnson, so that is why she is front and center.
