Will post my holiday show schedule in a few days (very exciting=keeping us busy) but first the FUNNEST event will be right here at my studio. Please come if you're in the NY area on December 6th and join me, along with Michelle from Hortensia Handmade and Tamika from Self+Therapy in Williamsburg to kick off the shopping season the best way there is: with a glass of wine and some good friends: We'll be bringing our beautiful wares to you at very reduced prices in this cozy space with good friends. There'll be wine. There'll be delicious foodstuffs. Someone will be giving had massages. We'll have Bonbons galore, Hortensia's beautiful knits and Tamika's handmade organic bath, beauty products and things her shop such as teas, chocolates and other goodies (read more about what Tamika does here). We may even have some other goodies by some of our other designer friends. And our now famous Holiday Raffle.


And this year's raffle is a great one. It will be a basket filled with goodies from me, and Hortensia Handmade and Therapy (as well as some goodies from some other designer friends---perhaps it will be letterpress, or leather or something delectable?) The best part? All proceeds will go to The Bowery Mission and the Food Bank of NYC . We wanted to give at home this year and we're very happy to give to such an important cause. We'll have pictures soon!

(The raffle will be $5 at the door or $10 if you'd like to donate on-line (which I'll set up shortly and will include shipping this lovely package to you if you win!--The winners will be chosen at 5 pm Saturday December 6th!)
So even if you can't come to the sale you can give to a good cause and be entered to win a little of NY right in your own home, wherever that may be!
