After a very successful promotion I decided to put a simpler origami piece in each package as making the Kitty Origami can be time consuming. Result: Heart Origami!
Lots of pictures to follow and very easy to make. The tutorial continues behind the cut/link under the picture to save your computer from loading all the images in case you don’t care to do heart origami!
Hooray, we got accepted into Portland, Oregon’s Saturday Market!! We actually found out this past Wednesday but plan to attend and sell the show this upcoming weekend. We have zero inventory right now and need to build it back up so we aren’t sitting at the market empty handed!
It’s very exciting and a bit scary as well. What if we don’t sell anything at the market? Even though we visited a few times since moving to Portland and feel that we would be a good fit, there is always potential of not being received well. We’re crossing our fingers that this will work out for us in our endeavor to be full-time crafters and work-at-home parents.
As part of our efforts to build inventory, we also visited our local SCRAPS reuse center. Unfortunately for us they don’t carry egg cartons like the one in SF Bay did!! (Side note: If you have a lot of egg cartons you can donate, we’d be happy to do an exchange for a set of Kitty Egg Crayons… please contact us) We were rather disappointed but still left with some goodies, including this set of cards featuring the Saturday Market. What a coincidence and a total steal at just $0.50!
I think the drawings are beautiful and capture the lively energy that can be found at Saturday Market… click on the images for larger versions.
Our scheduled debut at the market is this upcoming Sunday, September 13th. If you’re in the area, please visit us!
Continuing with our Lovely Package Exchange theme… This is our package swap from Elizabeth of ThereisBeautiful
Here is what we sent her:
The Exchange has come and gone. Here are the photos from the swap! We had 2 lovely partners and will make a post for each partner… here is Nicole & Jason of Gocco Boom!
Here are the packages we sent them…
Did I ever mention that I have a BFA in Fashion Design? Well, I do. One of the few designers I admire is Tsumori Chisato. I just love her use of colors, prints, and the handmade drawing-like quality to her design. Apparently she is releasing a line of makeup by Shu Uemura inspired by her own adaptation of the classic novella, Le Petit Prince (The Little Prince) in collaboration with Shu Uemura.
It includes: a mini brush set in a gold bag ($72); two palettes of blush and eyeliner ($75 each); a highlighter compact ($53); three shades of lipstick ($36); a quilted makeup bag ($88); and studded fake eyelashes ($72). source
If I had the extra spending money, you bet I’d pick up a set. But until then, onto the “wish list” it goes…
