Chit Chat

Busy week ahead. We have 3 new artists coming in, plus new pieces from veteran artists.

On a personal level I have multiple appointments between me and the kids, pick ups for FAC, drop offs for Withering Elm Jewelry, shipping, paperwork for school... finding supplies and building new displays!

Saturday is our Mustache Bash at New Albanian Brewing Company!
This week I'll be picking up more mustache goodies from Only Embry and a new artist Lindsay Lou!
Lots of new stuff!

Then the following week is our Bad Sweater Party at Bluegrass Brewing Co. (the St. Matthew's location).
Ben (my husband) and I have already rushed out to Good Will to pick our bad sweaters... Who am I kidding? We're always there anyway. Ben's sweater wins by far. It's fantastic.

I think Mary has pick ups with several artists this week as well. Two new artists. So I guess that makes 4 total this week. My mind is so stretched, I can't really think.


So on a totally different note... I was going to write about this in my Withering Elm Jewelry blog, but I think the female awesomeness that omits like super nova from this band makes it worth mentioning in here. Jessi Zazu Wariner is my cousin... in the way that we used to build forts and play barbies when we were potty training. So I've been acquainted with her headstrong determination and musical/artistic skill my whole life. But still!!! I am amazed! She formed the band Those Darlins with two close friends, Nikki & Kelly... then later her other half, Linwood.




Jessi's been doing art her whole life. Her parents are artists, therefore art was in abundance all around her growing up. Anyway, she came up with some really great art that I turned into cameos. So now they have their own Those Darlins line of necklaces... Though I still have to ship them out. I kept screwing up the cameos, or I'd be too hard on the design & start over.

However, I think in the spirt of female art and entrepreneurship, we should totally have them in the shop!

Gah! I have to get pictures. But for now... I leave you with a little music & some of Jessi's art!
