Only Days Away


  The Renegade Craft Fair is only days away and I can't believe it's actually happening.  This time last year, I was walking around the booths at Renegade thinking how cool it would be to show as an exhibitor.  Not long after that, Morgan and I made a plan to make and sell ornament wreaths at the very fair that inspired us.  We have spend the last year collecting and putting together these one-of-a-kind pieces of art and I'm so proud of how far we have come.  In these final days, it's been super exciting seeing everything come together and making sure that all the final touches (and precautions) are in place.  I'm going to post more photos of newly created wreaths in the following days to come so if you see one you would like me to reserve, just send me a message!

Busy Bee

     "He Loves Me" 
 "Frosted Pink Lemonade" 
"He Loves Me Not"

Ta-da! Straight from Santa's workshop, I give you the most recent additions to my arsenal!  My house is now officially covered in wreaths and I feel like I'm living in a china shop; the bull being out cat Sosuke.  But seriously, you name a spot in our house and I can bet there's a wreath on or in it.  Under the bed, in the bathroom, on the stove, on the walls, it's all becoming slightly nerve wrecking.

In terms of our booth display, Morgan has been working on free standing wooden displays to hang the wreaths on.  I've also been addicted to pinning Christmas garlands/decor inspiration to my Holly Jolly and Renegade Craft Fair boards on Pinterest.  The fair is three weeks away and I still have a lot of work to do!  

Come One, Come All

Hark hear the bells! 

After a long year of ornament hunting at Goodwills, antique stores, and yard sales, I am proud to announce that I will be showcasing my vintage ornament wreaths at the Los Angeles Holiday Renegade Craft Fair. Armed with hundreds of Shiny Brites and enough tinsel to reach the North Pole, I couldn't be more excited to be a part of such a wonderful collection of local LA artisans.

I'm also over the moon with excitement that my friend Ann Shen will be sharing the booth with me. She's s
uper talented and kind of a big deal! She will be selling items from her adorable Etsy shop in addition to exclusive holiday card packs!

These two turtle doves would love it if you could drop by and say hello. Did we mention that there would be booze and a photo booth? What's not to love?
