A preview of what is to come for the Holidays

There's even more but I won't ruin the surprise ;)

The 2013 Calendar is coming!

Victoria of Paper & Type and I are teaming up for our 3rd collaborative calendar. We like experimenting with different formats, themes, and sizes (see 2012 & 2011) so we're trying the poster angle this year. Have a peek!

Alamo Square Flea Market in SF this Saturday!

Find me at the corner of Hayes & Scott! I'll be vending the usual goodies, and I'm bringing enough of everything so you don't have to worry about me selling out of stuff. So bring a friend, your family, your doggy, and hang out the way the folks of Full House did in Alamo Square:

 

Weddings Galore!!

I've been on hiatus from the blogging world because of WEDDINGS!! Not my own or even my friends' weddings, but customers' weddings. I can finally share the results of the collaborations:

Custom-made stamps for hang tags/party favors.

 A visual story of their love (& awkwardness). The stamp illustration is based on this original watercolor piece.

The groom-to-be actually proposed to his wife-to-be in a knight costume. SO CUTE.

I borrowed the artwork from their table cards for their menus.

Birthday Weekend + Renegade Craft Fair SF

I invited my close friends to Hog Island Oyster Farm in Marshall, CA for a tutorial in shucking & a day of feasting!

Highlight of the day was everyone chanting "SHUCK SHUCK SHUCK!!" (instead of "chug" teehee).

My laser-cut charms were the secret hush hush giveaway item for my birthday at Renegade Craft Fair.

A customer brought me a strawberry chocolate cupcake from Miette for my birthday. The nicest ever!!! :)

July 20th Happy Birthday Sale!!

***please note I made a typo on the jpg above. It said <$10 but it should be >$10. It's up-to-date now! Thanks for your understanding**

I'm turning the big 2-8 tomorrow so to celebrate I'm giving a little gift to all of you. Everyone's favorite gift: FREE 99!!! There are two ways to participate:

1. On Friday July 20, visit my online store and use coupon code "YOUREOLD" for free shipping. Then if you spend more than $10, you get a free gift, too. Hollaaaa. Please note coupon is only valid on July 20, 12am-11:59pm.

2. If you're in San Francisco this weekend, swing by Renegade Craft Fair & use the secret phrase "Happy Birthday" at my booth to get a different free gift (while supplies last!). Heyyyyy.

Ok, I think that's all you need to know! Now, go have fun! :D I know I will because I'll be watching Aziz Ansari tonight & eating oysters with good friends for three hours at Hog Island Oyster Farm tomorrow. BLISS.

Next Up: Renegade Craft Fair SF

Yay! It's my first time doing Renegade Craft Fair SF and to celebrate, I'll be debuting brand new prints, new buttons, and if I get them done in time... wooden coasters! It's also my birthday weekend so I'll be in an especially good mood, and offering a SECRET DEAL to those in the know: say "Happy Birthday" (teehee) to me at the booth and you'll get a surprise gift :). While supplies last! See you there 11am-7pm this weekend! Photobooth, DIY activities, booze, and with a beautiful view.. what a dream!
