Our Little Soirée And Throngs of People Buying Local!!










What an incredible weekend! (I know it's Tuesday but wait.. it's Tuesday?...).
First Saturday's Soirée: Michelle from Hortensia Handmade and Tamika from Self+Therapy (see her with her bonbon in her hair?) brought all their fantastic goods, Ana from TeaSpot NYC dazzled us with her heavenly baked goods (she is one skilled baker people) and Breck from Sesame Letterpress, although she couldn't be there, let us sell her beautiful cards and calendars and even donated the sales of her coasters to the Food Bank!
How great that so many people came by to support us and kick off the season with so much cheer, family and friends, old and new. And how amazing to meet some lovely blogging friends who stopped by to say hi, Melissa, and Marichelle and Persephone! And how I wished some of you from all over the world could have been here too to toast with us and enjoy the day. It was really nice...
And then I packed it all up and took the show on the road the next day to the Gifted Holiday Market in Fort Greene (below)...it was so busy I didn't stop all day except to take notes on all the things I'll need to make more of for next week...or this week I mean: Saturday's Secret Santa Project (formerly Gift on Grand) and Sunday's Divine Studio Sale...(I'll be selling raffles there $5 a pop and you'll get to see the prize box in all it's boxed glory!) Hope to see you there! I need a nap.
awesome Obama cards, no?

Oh, you doll! You are just the sweetest, cutest thing ever Deb! It was SO much fun, truly a lovely, wonderful evening. Plus, I have been wearing my gorgeous earrings from you since then. You must be exhausted but, I am so happy for you that it went so well. It was my extreme pleasure to meet you and all of your wonderful friends. Thank you, thank you.

Deb, sorry for the stupid question but is it too late to donate to the raffle ? I would have been happy to donate a pack of cards towards it.

I just read your interview on Faboolosity and I think your blog (and you!) are faboo. :-) I just bought a raffle ticket. Amazing job on that! Best of luck.
