m•o•m will be there, will you?
local artist karin grow kindly invited us to be a part of her annual holiday event this year. we're pretty excited about it. get to know a bit about karin here.
mom will be at the studio that day and i will man our booth at the show. hope to see you at one of these on sunday.
ooo, and don't forget that on saturday dec 5th is the encinitas christmas parade! yay, we love our little parade!
Rather than call it Black Friday, we're joining in and calling the day after Thanksgiving 3/50 Friday, with the hope of spreading the word about shopping locally. For this, our second Holiday season with the m•o•m studio we are starting off with a bang...a bang for your buck that is. Starting on Friday 11-27 all clothing on our rolling rack will be 50% off. Sale lasts 10 days, ending on Dec 6th.
Handmade clothing for girls, boys, and we have a few tops for women too. See ya at m•o•m.
holy cow. found this blog this morning over at océchou and i'm hooked. incredible photography, adorable kids, gorgeous clothes, ideal setting. need i say more? take a look for yourself.
i am especially in love with the bedroom images. i can only guess that the rooms belong to authors children - it's in french. i used google translates on some posts, but i can't figure it all out. luckily, the photo's are enough to capture you, words aren't always needed.
i am in awe of her son's bedroom.
i haven't seen this documentary (i don't think it played in san diego) but now that it's on DVD we all have a chance to view it. what a great gift this would be.
we're gonna be at this festival, come visit m•o•m!
we have new accessories for girls and women and i know it's warm here in san diego but we've got brand new hand knit sweater vests for babies and toddlers, plus there will be the m•o•m favorites: cool ties, reversible bibs, diner aprons, and swell bow ties. plus we're bringing a good selection of jessica(fied) jewelry.
the holidays are nearly here, so it's the perfect time to renew your pledge to buy handmade. if you have yet to take the pledge, go here to do so.
here is what buy handmade has written on it's blog about the campaign: "Hello, and welcome to the new blog for buyhandmade.org. Here we will be providing resources for being a better, more enlightened consumer, showcasing interesting facts and news and opportunities for supporting independent artists, and generally broadcasting all that is rad about the handmade lifestyle." check out the blog here.
we took the handmade pledge a few years ago and it's really made a difference in how we shop for gifts. we've become more thoughtful, and allow more time to consider the recipient and what he or she would truly like (not just what we think is cute). maybe the handmade pledge is right for you, check 'em out.
sorry for lagging on the blog posts. my brain is a bit fried as multiple projects are nearing their end at the same time, so we are crazy multi-multi taskers right now... what day is it? do i have to be somewhere? what are we working on today? mom and i ask these questions and more, a million times each day.
this anika, a recent studio visitor. she was sooooo nice and friendly. anika is from germany and is taking 3 months to travel. so far she's hit new york, san francisco, los angeles, and encinitas (kinda crazy that encinitas/san diego is part of her "places to go"). then she heads to australia, and i think she said she was going somewhere in indonesia. how fun! oh and she's traveling by herself - total girl power!
here is shaylin, my cousin leela's middle daughter. we had a fun day a few weeks ago when my aunt kathe, shaylin, and little genevieve stopped by for a visit. here shaylin is showing off a prototype bag we made out of nu-nu doll t-shirts. shaylin is one of the original m•o•m models as was her older sister haley who you may remember spent a long weekend with us this summer as our first intern.
as little sisters do, genevieve wanted to be just like her big sister. so we shot a picture of her with a bag too. and as little people do, she proceeded to put it in her mouth.
thanks for stopping by. i'd like to say that i will be better at posting, but these next few weeks are really full and i just don't know how much time i can give to the blog right now. we're not going away, quite the contrary, things are pretty exciting and we really want to share everything with you. i just need to get a few things finished and off our plate. i will try to post small views of the studio as we work and get ready for the holidays. have a great weekend!
