Good morning! How was everyone’s weekend? I had a nice couple of days, but I am excited to be back to work this morning because today is the first day of the new exhibition on papernstitch. This is our BIG holiday exhibition and I am freaking out over the awesome-ness! Its the first new exhibition since we redesigned the site. And we’ve got a lot (and I mean A LOT) of amazing shops to explore (over 150 actually)…many of them brand new to papernstitch. Hope you’ll check them out.
And if you’re looking for suggestions, here are a few shops I have already added to my wish list this year…
Absolutely AWESOME indie art shop, Gingiber.
Beautiful photographs from A Very Story.
And Blackbird Letterpress is always a favorite.
For more from over 150 handmade, art, and vintage shops, visit the papernstitch exhibition site at papernstitch.com.
Who’s ready for the weekend? Me too. Here are your links for the weekend… (yep, I am so ready for the weekend I didn’t even try to come up with clever copy for this post. but the links are good. i promise.)
-Have you seen the new look for the exhibition site yet? You should check it out. I think you’ll like it.
-Have you heard about The Brilliant Marketing Tips Blog Series? Its an awesome blog tips series that Mayi Carles put together with some A list bloggers like Jena from Miss Modish, Nathalie from Raw Foods Witch, Tim from Handmadeology, and more (including little old me). There is one more week in the series after this. Each day one blogger (sometimes two) will sharing their experiences with various marketing techniques and tips. For more info click here.

Okay, I still have my weekend links post coming up a little later, but I already have one foot at the door it seems. In fact, I can sum up everything I hope to do this weekend with these prints from O’Reilly Ink. Sounds fun, right?
Here we go…take some pictures, do something ‘nature-y’, ride my bike, rise and shine (just kidding- I am not getting up early-its the weekend), have a cup of tea and read a magazine. That’s it! Just a couple simple things.
What are your plans for the weekend?
Visit O’Reilly Ink Illustrations on etsy to view more of these colorful prints.
Just a last call reminder to anyone who is interested: today is the last day to submit your shop for the next holiday exhibition on papernstitch.

Please note there is a small fee to participate and not all shops who submit are chosen.

Submission deadline is today (Friday).
They look different now huh? And bonus: there are now eight favorites each day instead of seven. I snuck an extra one in there. What do you think? If you aren’t sure why the look of the daily favorites has changed, you need to visit papernstitch.com silly.

We had a brief burst of cold weather a few days ago here in Florida, and its left me feeling like I need to get a few warm fall/winter accessories. A scarf or two and some tights should do the trick. So, I’ve been looking at these pieces from from Pretty Penny Designs.
Each piece is made in Kelly’s Los Angeles studio: hand cut and screen printed by hand. Love the patterns and overall wearability. Casual and cool. Perfect.
