The 2015 Texas Style Council CAMP is just one week away! Just a friendly reminder for all you fellow bloggers and Etsians and business owners who are also going. 🙂 I for one am pretty darn excited. Sleepaway camp with a bunch of awesome women? Where we also get to...
Just a reminder for you local folk: this weekend, aside from Black Friday and Small Business Saturday, also features Shop Local Sunday. And you can do just that at the ATX Artisans Holiday Market. ATX Artisans is an Etsy team of **all local** artists and makers...
This past weekend was the Austin Craft Riot Summer Show, otherwise known as the first major craft show that I've ever done. Which you probably knew because I basically talked about nothing else here on the blog for the past month. And of course I had high hopes,...
If you've been around the blog awhile, you probably already know this as I've been talking about it for a few weeks. But this upcoming weekend is the annual Austin Craft Riot Summer Show. It's got over 70 local handmade artisans and food trucks and kids activities and...
I have less than 3 weeks until my first major craft show. Can we just take a second for me to freak out? Haha. Only half kidding. I've met with the gal I'm sharing a booth with (hi, Rachel!) and she was both super sweet and super helpful, so for a little while I was...

As promised yesterday, some pictures! My sister was visiting from Charleston, SC last week with some friends, and one afternoon we headed down to McKinney Falls State Park for some sunshine and hiking. The bluebonnets were in bloom, the weather was perfect, and the...
This weekend I'll be attending (and volunteering at!) the Texas Style Council conference. I'm pretty excited about it, and just a smidge nervous because, hello, introvert. But I went last year, so I know more what to expect, and know some girls attending, so...
If you've been a reader here for awhile (hey, thanks!), you know that this little blog turned 2 earlier this year. Yay! *confetti* Exciting, and humbling to see how much it's grown. And also very thought-provoking, as I've been trying to figure out what direction I...
I'm not sure if you know this, readers, but I have a pretty serious sweet tooth. Like, ice cream is an acceptable meal and I have a candy dish in the living room and a chocolate stash at my desk and pretty much nothing is better than a good piece of pie or cake or...
