Road trip!!!

I feel as though I use far more exclamation points than someone with an English degree should, but... alas. Truth be told, I am super crazy excited about my road trip, which I take every year, and upon which I am about to embark. I will be putting my Etsy shop into "vacation" mode, so the ordering system will be unavailable until Monday, March 29. Hopefully I will return refreshed and bursting with new ideas. Until then, enjoy these glorious weeks of spring!

Birds of a feather

Yesterday I attended the first of what I hope to be many crafty meet-ups at Hello Bluebird. What a fun time! Approximately 20 ladies, all handmade business owners, gathered for a potluck brunch, item swap, and all around good time. Many of us had only met online or admired each other's work but had never met in person. There was a lot of "oh, YOU'RE so-and-so!" Tara from scoutiegirl posted a recap and pictures (I'm the one in the hat!) on her awesome blog, so check it out. Also, huge thanks to Stephanie Corfee for getting the ball rolling!

Am I blue?

In the air...

After all of the snow in February, we are finally in the midst of a glorious "warm" streak here in eastern Pennsylvania. The temperature has been in the 50s, the breeze has been light, and the birds are coming home and singing away on my rooftop. Hope springs anew!

Speaking of new, I have been hard at work on designs for spring and summer. In the past week I released two new hats: the "Pamela" summer cloche with buttons and the "Millie" slouch beanie. They are already posted in my Etsy shop and will also arrive at Hello Bluebird soon!
