Come visit us this Saturday at Fresh Blend – presented to you by the Tulsa Craft Mafia & Friends, and Fresh Roast Coffee House!
We’ll be at Fresh Roast Coffee House – 8122 S Harvard – from 2:00 – 7:00 Saturday November 14. Come hang out with us and sample some limited edition “Fresh Blend” coffee!
Next Friday and Saturday is the Garden Deva Open Studio Party! I was invited to set up there last year and was so excited when they asked us back again this year. It’s not a craft show, really, it’s exactly what the name implies – a party! Music, food, lots of cool stuff to look at and lots of interesting people to meet.
So, in true Paper Lotus fashion, I’m waiting till almost the last moment to get everything ready.
Here is my mental checklist:
Did you see that last item? Yup, trying something else new. Here is a picture of the project.
Can you see them? Here’s a close up.
Pendants! Yes, I know the light isn’t great here. But I’m a bit pressed for time, sorry.
I’ve taken some of our designs and shrunk them way, way, way down and made some glass pendants. With silver-plated bails and some will have silver-plated ball chains. What other designs do we have? Well you’ll just have to come to the Garden Deva next weekend to find out!
I’ll also have some news soon about an upcoming event and retail venture – we are very excited about it, and I’ll update you soon! Till then, have a Happy Halloween…
Yes, we survived our second Indie Emprorium. It was great!
I think we are spreading the hank-knit cufflet love all through the land. Here is a picture of the happy cufflets on display:
I saw a few people I hadn’t seen in a long time, including a co-worker from a job I left 6 years ago, one of my doctors, and Molly from Antoinette Baking Co, who we used to work with a long, long time ago. Have you tried any of their desserts yet? I highly recommend them! Everything I tried over the weekend – and I tried a lot of stuff – was really good!
M got to see a demonstration on how to home-brew beer, we had some delish Mexican food from Elote, listened to some good music courtesy of a few local musicians and Thom’s iPod, got to talk to a lot of people, and made some new friends.
It was a pretty tiring 2 days, but lots of fun!
Now I’m busy getting ready for the Garden Deva Open Studio Party on November 6 and 7. I want to have some new items ready to unveil. So I’d better get moving!
Also, my Dad has his Etsy shop up for his small business, the Green Candle Co. Or rather, I have his Etsy shop up. He only has 2 items for sale so far, but he’ll be listing more candles soon. They are very high quality, all-natural candles. Very nice, they burn really well. He sets up at a Farmer’s Market in California most Sundays as well. You know, he used to make jewelry, furniture, and pottery, he can spin wool, and figure out just about any type of craft. Pretty cool.
Christine, Holly and I went to the South Tulsa Music Festival last Saturday. I think it’s safe to say a good time was had by all! We didn’t get to see as much music as we wanted, but we did see a little, and we all had some success selling our crafty goodies.
The weather was nice, the company was nice – overall, it was…nice!
