The k11 December 5th Craft Sale

The studio looks fabulous right now---well I know it always looks good. But......we have our newly clad windows which are eliciting giggles and gasps from passers by---and it is fun to be in the studio and hear them. A huge thank you to our designer Kyoko for all the work, energy and creativity she puts into the windows. And it is very difficult to take a picture because of the glare. If any of you are experts (Chris, come back from NYC!), we would love love love some new pics.

Then yesterday, Yarra Mc CLure hung her fabulous paintings in the studio and it and they look incredibly wonderful. You have to come by and see them.

And as if that weren't enough, on Saturday we have the first of our 3 holiday craft sales. As many of you who are reading this know, I can be very picky--usually in the design area. All of the vendors at each sale have been chosen by me because I like their aesthetic. I like their wares. I like the crafters themselves. And I think that you will like them too! (A huge thank you to all of you who point me towards fabulous crafters---keep the suggestions coming) Here is the line-up for December 5th.

Tactile Fiber Arts

WenIfNotNow


Rachel M has asked me a gazillion times---well maybe not a gazillion but lots of times!--- when WenIfNotNow tees was coming back. And the answer is......November 21st. WenIfNotNow came to our sale in March and honestly I have been trying to get her back every flipping month since then. I am so happy she will be in the studio on November 21 and she in turn is probably mightily relieved not to be getting so many pleas from me. Almitas---the cute felted pigs, Tactile--yummy yarn, and KoideStudio--smashing ceramics are all returning vendors. (Vocab lesson: Smashing=terrific)

Predictably we are thrilled with the line-up. Zelaya--great clothes, and Spirit Joy Designs--incredible jewelry-- are both here at the suggestion of Sharon J. I have been on the trail of Lemonade Handmade Jewelry, Bubbles and Boo bags and CC Star for months now. And I tasted Tortoise and Hare chocolate at my local Arizmendi and knew I had to have him--the chocolate that is--not Nick, the owner.
