happy thanksgiving!

i hope everyone (in america) has the best thanksgiving ;)

it is truly my favorite holiday since it is solely about food and family. today we are pulling double duty and having meals with both my family and the husband's (so i am thinking loose fitting clothing...)

it has been such a wonderful year and i am so thankful for everyone in my life. this year not only did i get to marry my best friend, but i also got to share in that same happiness for four of my cousins. i also got to see some of the people that mean the most to me do some really amazing things and be a part of their joy. i can't even imagine what the new year holds, but i'm already thankful for it.

so it's time for me to finish up cooking, watch the parade, and then head out for a wonderful day!
i hope you all get to do the same.

all the best, jess

art star craft bazaar - this weekend!

so in between the craziness of the wedding, the honeymoon, and getting back into the swing of things at my day job, i've been prepping like crazy for my first holiday show! The Art Star Craft Bazaar is this weekend in Philadelphia and things kick off with a VIP party this friday night. i am both super nervous and extremely excited ;) (clearly this is why i haven't been around these parts as much recently - also Blogger is freaking out and wouldn't let me post anything for the past 4 days...)



if you are in Philly make sure you stop by and say hello! and if you aren't make sure you check in with the shop next week for a massive update ;)

back to reality ;)

well hello hello there interwebs. i'm finally back from the frenzy of getting married and the lovely italian honeymoon that followed ;)

little by little i will be getting back into my routine and updating this blog and the shop (which is finally back open!). crazy enough it is supposed to *snow* here tomorrow!? so it seems that the time for yarn accessories is officially here.

i'll be sharing more wedding related goodies soon enough but there's a shot from our first look and you can see the rest of the photo sneak peek over on our amazing photographers' facebook page ;)

sale!

now through sept 30th, my entire online shop will be on sale! in honor of my upcoming wedding on 10/8 everything will be 18% off, just enter CELEBRATE at checkout ;)

please also note that after the 30th, my shop will be closed for the ENTIRE (!) month of October has I enjoy my wedding, honeymoon, and then frantically prepare for my first ever show (more exciting details coming soon).

so stock up early for holiday gifts or pick up something for yourself!

a few new items

i've been trying my hardest to get some new items and new photos done. and i was able to sneak two new items into the shop recently, the Fairhill braided knit scarf and the Waverly drawstring cowl in a new awesome cobalt blue color.

just as a heads up, with the impending wedding and honeymoon (yay!) i'm going to be closing down the shop for most of the month of october. i'll be back for the holidays in november, but feel free to be super responsible and get a head start on your shopping early!

also be on the look out for a little celebratory sale towards the end of the month ;)

TIE-DYE!

so i did a little tie dying... and made a few things!

i'm slowly rolling out a quick little summer collection over in the SHOP and would love you all to check it out ;) i hand dyed all of the cotton jersey myself and then cut up all the pretty purple, blue, and green material into yarn for fun new bracelets and necklaces! everything is one of kind and i like to think that these pieces are super unique since i couldn't possibly duplicate the yarn again. i still have a lot more yarn to use so there is even more new stuff on the horizon. i'm also planning on dying a few more lots of fabric before this summer is over so there should be some different color combos in the future!

hope you all enjoy! and thanks for all of the wonderful support ;) hugs for all!
