I don't usually make custom orders, but this one sounded fun. I was asked to make handtowels with my lemon lime embroidery and applique on them. (She had seen the design on one of my Stella Tote Bags.) So, I decided to try it. Here's the finished product...I think they turned out pretty well!
It's finally getting warm outside and that means it's time again for me to set up my booth at the Fremont Market in Seattle. I can't believe this is my 4th summer doing this! I love almost everything about it...I love seeing people's reactions to my bags, I love people's interest in what I make and I love just watching people. I don't love the wind, the rain or the blistering heat, but it's all part of the deal and the good days always make up for the bad ones.
Etsy.com makes it easy for me to reach worldwide and sell year round to an audience that understands and appreciates the time and effort it takes to make each item. It's a fantastic web site for getting your name out there, but there's nothing like putting a face to the person buying one of your bags.
If you're in the neighborhood, stop by! The Fremont Market is open year-round from 10-5 every Sunday. I'll be there until the end of July and then it's time to get ready for Bumbershoot!
