Craft Maddness

It's Monday night and I'm just now recovering from the madness that was Maker Faire. It was my first 2-day event, and from now on I'm scheduling a vacation day after 2-day shows. It was beyond amazing, but non-stop from dawn 'til dusk the entire weekend. We launched several new products this weekend and had amazing feedback. Our dresses and growth charts were flying, and hankies made a comeback with the Maker crowd.

We only have a few onesies left after our crazy "It's almost Summer" sale. After much love and thought, I've decided to put Miss Natalie onesies on hold to focus on toddler clothing.

Speaking of, here are some shots of our new hand crocheted summer dresses. They are the perfect dress for long summer days, with a hand stenciled pattern and red ribbon along the hem. Made of 100% cotton, and back in the store soon.

We met lots of wonderful folks, and can't wait to visit the amazing Molly & Ashely of Ambatalia Fabric Society at the Mill Valley store. Thanks to all our new and old friends for coming out to the show. For those of you interested in the field recordings, check out Walker Mettling's site The Pedestrian.

Finding our Way

Upon arriving back in Oakland, Ben surprised me with a braille map of our home. I love it! Our house is that small box in the center, which is incredibly hard to see in this photo. Very apt as today is all about braille--I'll be working on a braille order for my favorite online eco-shop, Branch. I've been thinking about getting a braille printer lately, and this piece may have pushed me over the edge.

Back on the shop: Growth Charts! Get them while their hot and in stock. Also, expect some more braille blank notebooks as soon as tomorrow.
