Thrift-store Shopping...

This has been a great week for me so far! I invited my boss and co-workers over for a little lunch before work on Monday, and somehow I got that night off! I was ecstatic! I had a really rough and long night on Sunday that I didn't even think I could've work through another night at the restaurant. So the surprise day-off was a godsend! On top of that, I found out accidentally that one of my tags were among the features for one of the Storque articles! I was definitely pleasantly surprised and confused because it took me a couple of days to figure out which one it was. It was an article about the latest trends and things to look for, I'm very honored that my tags are part of this, click here for the article and to view the wonderful collection!

Anyway, my boyfriend and I went to the East Bay Depot for Creative Reuse today in Oakland to see what they have right now, and we found some useful stuff. He wants to make some wind chimes with apothecary bottles that they have there, and I found an old-school trivet. So we both left happy! :)

(So cool! It stretches out!)

Last Call for Giveaway!

As I mentioned a few posts ago, I'm doing a giveaway on Style Symmetry's blog...and the deadline is midnight tonight PST! So if you haven't already, click here to go to her blog and enter for a chance to win some of my tags! :)

Something to look forward to soon (for me, and hopefully for you too!), I'm in the process of creating tags that are slightly more detailed and intricate than what I have in the shop already. Tags that are more similar to mini art pieces than just...tags. Anyway, more on that later, now I gotta run to work!

Have a most wonderful Sunday afternoon!

P.S. I just scored a whole bunch of stuff at this amazing reuse shop near my house. It's called The East Bay Center for Creative Reuse. Their inventory changes often and sometimes you can find exactly what you're looking for (100s of mini clear glass vials?) for just a couple of bucks! If you live around this area, check it out!

Wow! An Invite!

I have just been invited to sell my work at a holiday exhibit/sale event called "Holidayland" at the Compound Gallery and Blankspace Gallery in Oakland! I'm so extremely excited! It also means that I have to work extra hard to produce hundreds of my handmade tags by mid-November. The event will run from November 27-December 20. So for those of you who live in the Bay Area, I hope you'll have a chance to drop by and perhaps find something extraordinary by an amazing artist!
