Riverfront Times photo!

Well this was fun to see! I wish I looked a bit happier to be there (I was soooooo happy to be there), but a photo of my booth was on the Riverfront Times' website! Here's the whole photo! xo P.S. Do you love my business card  holder? I bought it here

Love to buy local? Handmade? Come on over!!

Happy Thanksgiving!

We can only be said to be alive in those moments when our hearts are conscious of our treasures.

Love to Alicia

Do you read Alicia Paulson's blog? Of course you do!* Alicia's was the first blog I ever followed - don't remember how I stumbled upon her site, but it was life changing for me. Three years ago when I turned 40, I went to Portland on a bit of a solo retreat and I didn't drive by her house. But I wanted to. And I googled her address. And I thought about it.

She and her husband had an adoption fall through this month. Thanksgiving week is always a time when I focus on mother love and how thankful I am for all of it in our life. Alicia embodies the quintessential community mother and her generous spirit and warm heart have brought many a person - in cyperspace and otherwise - comfort, perspective, laughter and kindness. Please send a little blessing/energy/karma Alicia's way this week. xo

*I copied this from Matsutake. I wasn't sure if I should acknowledge Alicia's story in blogland, but Katie did and it was lovely.

kit-schy

I love the word "kitschy" so I thought my post title was pretty clever until I googled the spelling and learned that it can mean, "tasteless"....

I disagree and I'm leaving my title. One week to our Black Friday Sale! If you're local, I hope that you'll come. 

Last year, my artist trading card (ATC) kits sold out before lunch time. I couldn't believe it. So this year I'm selling ATC kits and Design Your Own Journal kits. We'll see how they do.

If you're not local, please be forewarned that posts next week will primarily be shameless self-promotion for our sale! Hope you have a great weekend! xo
