Product Update!

Phew, what a weekend!

I've been busy busy busy working on new stuff to bring to the Renegade Craft Fair next weekend. I spent almost all day in my studio working at the sewing machine, so this afternoon I took a little break to go outside and enjoy the sunshine.

The light was so nice that I thought I'd take the opportunity to photograph a couple of items that I hadn't gotten around to taking pictures of yet:



These will be available at the events I have coming up soon!

Call For Vendors: The Handmade Market in Raleigh, NC

As you may (hopefully!) know, I'm part of The Handmaidens, a NC art+design collective. Twice a year we produce a local shopping event here in Raleigh called The Handmade Market.

We've just announced the Call for Vendors for our next event on November 3rd. This show is going to be our biggest one yet! We've moved to a brand new and much larger venue in downtown Raleigh that will accommodate more designers and will provide a roomier shopping experience for our customers.

If you think you've got what it takes to be a vendor at The Handmade Market, hop on over to the Website to learn more about our show and to submit an application: http://www.thehandmademarket.com

The application deadline is September 23rd at 5 pm Eastern time.

Also visit our Website for information about becoming a Sponsor, Volunteer, or to make a Donation to our Charity Raffle to benefit Hospice of Wake County.

Hope to see you there!

Though the shop is on hiatus for a bit, don't you dare think that I'm sitting around twiddling my thumbs and watching my fingernails grow. In fact, the opposite is true!

Updates

Why hello there! It's been a while, hasn't it. I hope this finds you well.

The site overhaul and relaunch I've been planning this summer is going a little more slowly than I'd hoped, due to the fact that I've scrapped my original plans and am considering some new and different directions for ye ol' india*romeo shoppe.

While the online shop is down, I'll be posting updates about its progress here, and will be clearing out some of my older stock in the india*romeo outlet shop at Etsy. Here's a preview of what is available:


I hope you'll stop by and take a look. I'll be adding new products bit by bit to make room in my studio for my new work. Many items are discounted from their original price, and some of these are the last I'll ever make, so if you see something you like, grab it now before it is gone forever!
