Magnet SALE!

I am having a sale on magnet sets in my etsy shop now through September 13! These functional and pretty sets are packaged and ready for gift giving. The perfect gift to have on hand when you need something special to slip in a birthday card, to cheer up a friend, co-worker, child, etc...or even great for a stocking stuffer (but let's not get too ahead of ourselves, right!)


















Sets are now 3 for $10 or $3.50 each and you can CLICK HERE to see what is available.

If you decide to take advantage for this sale, please type "magnetsale" in your notes to seller when checking out.

Yay for sales!!

Summer's Almost Gone.

I'm in denial! I love autumn but as usual I am shocked at how fast time flies and have no idea how it's possible that September is around the corner already. Isn't it funny how summer seemed to last for years when we were kids? And now it feels like it's over before it even started. Wild.

Winners!

Congrats to Lemonade Dusk aka Sybelle and Kellybot who had their names picked out of a hat (okay, it wasn't a hat, it was a coffee mug,) and are the winners of an Owl tote (Lemonade Dusk) and a Unicorn Tote (kellybot.)

Yay for free stuff! Thanks for participating in my very first giveaway everyone!

Renegade Handmade!

I just came across this article about the new Renegade Craft Store called RENEGADE HANDMADE that opened on in Chicago this month. So awesome! A new shop to add to my must visit list when I am in windy city on the weekends. A permanent place for fabulous D.I.Y. crafts year round. Yay!

And speaking of Renegade, the vendor list for the Renegade Craft Fair that is coming up in a couple of weeks - September 15 & 16 - is up on the website now. It's a gigantic list and I have found some awesome artists and crafters while making my way through it. I can't wait for this show!!

Imperfect Owls and Unicorns GIVEAWAY!

After several tries I finally feel like I'm starting to get the hang of gocco printing on fabric. But over the last week I have made a few mistakes and have created a few tote bags that are super cute but too imperfect to sell in my etsy shop. So…assuming that there are some people out there like me who love free stuff and don't mind something like a tiny area on an image where the ink didn't quite press through the gocco screen - I am going to giveaway 2 totes! One Starry Unicorn tote and one Owls in Love tote. Again, they are not quite perfect but I happen to think they are still super adorable and they are definitely functional.



















If you would like to be entered in a drawing for a free unicorn or owl bag, please leave a comment on this post and make sure to note which bag you like. I will draw 2 winners on Wednesday August 29. Please make sure to leave a link to your shop, blog, or email so that I have a way to get in contact with you!

New!!

Hot off the gocco! This is my favorite thing I've made in a long time. I love the color combo and just think every little girl needs a unicorn onesie.

















This onesie along with other child and adult apparel will be available in my etsy shop soon!
