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!!! :)
