Panda and Bird

On display and in action at the Capsule Design Festival last Sunday. The Panda has plans to attend a wedding where all the guests must come masked. I love that idea! All masks are hand stamped and hand cut, soon up on the shop. Contact me if interested.

Capsule Design Show, October 2008

Miss Natalie's booth at Capsule, October 19, 2008. It was a bit cold, but we had the lovely candy from Miette to keep us warm and a stead stream of hot chocolate from Blue Bottle. Thanks to all our friends who came out! Masks, pirate supply kits, and hen egg sets will be in the shop starting tonight.

Masks!

Hand-stamped masks for Halloween, or any boring Monday. I would love to pass these out on the train to spice up my morning commute. Would you enter a bart car if everyone inside was wearing one of these?

Launching at Capsule tomorrow (10/19)! Swing by the booth to check them out. We'll be on Octavia and Linden, near Miette. 11am-6pm, Hayes Valley, SF. Posted in the shop on Monday.

Saturday morning

Hawkeye is beyond due for a haircut. We were listening to some classic Dylan this morning, and he just blended into the album cover. He'll be a new dog after Wednesday, when he goes in for a shave and a haircut...from scruffy Ewok to crazy chihuahua.

I've been crazy busy getting ready for the Capsule design festival next Sunday (10/19, 11am-6pm), the unofficial kickoff to the holiday season. I'll be launching lots of new products, like the wooden egg sets above, along with some fun Halloween kits. More photos to come this week. Hope you all are able to make it out there. I'll have homemade cookies at the booth, free for folks that mention the blog's name!

Capsule Design Show, May 2008

Hawkeye served as the welcome wagon for the Miss table @ Capsule. He did pretty good for the first couple hours, until some big poodles started to invade his space. He got sent to work in the back room after that. I think he has a bit of a Napoleon complex.

Our orange zest oatmeal raisin cookies were a hit (and cheap lure) with customers. Never underestimate the power of a cookie to make someone walk towards you. This show was of particular importance because it marked my one year anniversary of launching Miss Natalie. Capsule SF was the very first show I did with my good friend Jocelyn (of Nous Savons), and man, oh man, have we come a long way since then. Thanks to all our new and old friends for the support and encouragement to start this wild adventure. Ok, end of my oscar speech, I swear.
