fall is here.

which  means, it's time to get your paws on some tony chestnut summer gear (for a steal of a deal).

success!

thank you thank you thank you
to all of you who came out, to help make this seasons' forage market so very incredible!
it was so much fun, and i can't wait for next season's. (i've already got some pretty fun ideas that i can't wait to share...)

now, if you'll excuse me, i've got to get sewing... i've got orders to fill!

the skirt issue

i am just feeling so great about a lot of things lately.  mostly, i am super pumped about the upcoming forage market.  this good mood is making me want to give someone a skirt!
(a cotton handpainted midi skirt, to be specific).

here's how it's gonna go:
you come to forage market, enter your name in a draw, and at the end of the day... i'll pick a winner!  so, come on down to shop, drink tea, eat fruit, socialize, and win a skirt.

would you choose the blush/brown combo?

or chartreuse/grey?

see you there!

pre-fall

so, i know that summer is only just gracing us with it's presence, and that fall is probably the LAST thing on our minds...
but, i've got something to show you.

this saturday, at forage market, i'll be giving you an opportunity to check out a small collection of tony chestnut's pre fall pieces.  also, i'll be offering the sweaters at a lower price than what you'll find them for in fall...!

*these are just some junky iphone photos... the real (beautiful) photos by brittany hildebrandt will be coming sometime this summer.

5 sweaters, different styles.  the perfect sweater to plan a fall outfit around, or the perfect sweater to throw over your sundress on the beach when the sun goes down.
see you saturday!

*in front of the camera:  the beautiful vee.

and, the winner is...
