Two More Shops

In addition to selling things at Broad Street Bazaar in Lititz, PA, I'm also going to be selling at two more local shops!

Look for Waldeck Dry Goods items at The HodgePodgery in Harrisburg, PA later this summer! Dawn and Jessica are planning on selling things that are made from recycled or repurposed materials.

I'll also be selling at Hello, Bluebird in West Reading, PA. I was lucky enough to set up right next to Alex at last weekend's Crafty By Nature event. I think her shop is going to be great! You can read more about the shop on Alex's blog.



I am super excited to be selling my wares in three real shops this year!

My new friend Tara has written a great post about both of these shops on her blog, handmadeinpa.net (photo above borrowed from Tara's blog).

A Cute Customer!

I love when people send me photos of themselves wearing/using things that I've made. A friend from college, Abby (we recently reconnected over Facebook), sent me this photo of her little boy wearing a custom onesie that she purchased.


Isn't he cute???

Retro Yard Sale!

My friend Alicia from Ten Gallon Greetings just let me know about this awesome-sounding yard sale in Lancaster, PA. I'm definitely going to be there to check it out on Friday.

What a great giveaway. We have a boy due in Sept and this would be great to win.

Those are adorable! Great giveaway!

(Check out Valerie's blog, Paper Dreams.)


Ladies, look for an email from me this morning, and start thinking about what you'd like your onesie to look like.

Thanks for commenting, everyone, and I hope some of the new readers will stick around!

A New Bag

Late last night I got inspired to sew myself a new summer bag:

I used a mixture of some brand new fabrics and some blue gingham I picked up at the thrift shop last week. I love it so much (especially that bird fabric).

If you're here from Sew, Mama, Sew looking for my giveaway, it's right HERE.

A Giveaway!

It's Giveaway Day!

In honor of this special day, I'm giving away two (yes, two) personalized onesies to two randomly chosen readers. The winner will receive a personalized onesie in the size of his or her choice (see my Etsy listing for sizing details). You'll also choose fabric colors for your onesie. These make great gifts!



All you have to do to win is leave a comment here. The winners will be announced here on June 1st.
