soft stuff!

Recycled Argyle sock and sweaters become dog toys ( no squeakers! if your dogs are like ours they rip apart all of their toys to get the squeaker out!), and cheerful felt birds that can be used as pin-cushions or simply to brighten up a dull space!

OPENING DAY!

So happy to finally be open at Market…it happened so fast but it felt like months.
Today was my first day, and I spent most of the first hour hanging Fran’s stained glass stars and straightening up…three sales…a commission…and 5 hours later…I closed up and begrudgingly went home.
It’s such a woderful atmosphere…great vendors ( I’m between Lizzy the candy lady and a travel agency booth that I have yet to see open…but the soup guys are great too…
Can’t wait till I get some pictures up here and have time to really start doing some newsletter..build up a mailing list and really jump in more. But right now I am off to sew more squeak-less recycled argyle dog toys…they seem to be a hit

More to come very, very soon!
