warm hands, warm heart.

it's here! hooray!



today was the first day of the Holiday Artisans Boutique at the Sullivan Munce Cultural Center's Mahaney Gallery. i stopped by yesterday to drop off my all my stuff, and i got to take a look around at some really great pottery, jewelry, scarves, ornaments, handbags, and other accessories. i feel so humbled to have hair treasures be a part of this wonderful month-long event to support local art. if you live in or around the zionsville area, you should definitely stop by. there are some other really wonderful places to go on main street, too, including some antique shops, boutiques, and resale shops. there's even a dog bakery, some art galleries, and, of course, eagle creek coffee co., where yours truly will serve you up a tasty hot bev.

i went with my bff brittany last night to the indie handicraft exchange christmas mini downtown. everywhere i looked there was something new and creative and fun and inspiring. i tried to explain to my dad that it was less of a mom craft fair and more of a hip craft fair. i think that description does it justice. i wanted so many things, but i narrowed it down to this pair of cozy handwarmers:



i also got something for my sister, but i can't post a picture of it because it's a christmas present. but i'm pretty excited about it. as we were walking around, this guy was handing out applications for an Alternative Gift Fair put on by Earth House Collective. i snagged an application, but, unfortunately i don't think i'll be able to participate. because so many of my pieces are out in boutiques right now and i am focusing on quite a few special orders, i just don't have the inventory to do another craft show right now. but i'm sure it will be really great! i am planning on going, and hopefully hair treasures can have a booth next year.

i finally got my package of new fancy feathers and have been pairing them with my most recent vintage finds from the flea market. i can't wait to assemble some new, fun treasures and post pictures. i have a lot to keep me busy. busy little tarabee.
