a very busy week

i'm hoping to post more this week, but not sure if i'll get to --- i am sewing and stitching like mad in preparation for two exciting upcoming events:

one -- this coming sunday, october 14th, i'll be setting up and selling at clover market, in ardmore PA.

PA locals know that this is a good one, with an impeccably curated group of crafters and antique dealers. I've got lots of goodies all made up and ready - including some goods that i've never offered in my online shops before. i'm hoping that i get a chance this week to photograph and post some sneak peeks of those items.
more info about clover market can be found here.

two -- next week is the american made awards event, presented by martha stewart, and i am so overjoyed and excited to have been invited to be a vendor as part of the "our finds" marketplace.

tuesday night is the award ceremony and a private reception and i might even get to meet martha herself! then, wednesday and thursday are open all day to the public, in vanderbilt hall of grand central terminal (nyc). there'll be workshops and presentations and plenty of awesomeness to see and do and sample and taste. they're billing it as "bringing the pages of Martha Stewart Living to life." being as it's my favourite magazine, that sounds amazing to me and i'm so incredibly psyched to be a part of it! more info is here.
as you can guess, i'm going a little bit crazy getting ready for it. i have no idea what to expect, so i'm just stitching stitching stitching making making making sewing sewing sewing as much as i can, and making everything look as pretty and polished as can be. my mama's on her way over here for the day - she's been an amazing help with sewing and keeping me and my studio organized. last week, she spent three days here and one of the best things she did for me was to cut through the madness of my mess! woohoo!
so, if you don't hear from me again this week, you know why -- but i'm hoping to post some photos the prep and the progress. til then, have a great week, friends!
