Branding
Branding is very important. Make sure people always know how to reach you and when a purchase is made; having a label will help them remember who made it.
Search the Internet for deals on labels or cards. There are so many sites, you will surely find something affordable.
Some sites require minimums and others are happy to offer small runs on labels.
If you are just starting out there is no reason to pay alot of money for cards or labels. As your business grows and money comes in; you will be able to upgrade.
Just keep in mind that your business name needs to be on everything: branding, branding, branding.

Stocking Up
Decided not to vend at Artpark this month; I will be there buying art!
Artpark is so much fun I want to be able to enjoy all it has to offer: the food, the art, the people, the music.
I can not wait until September 9th.
If all goes well I will be back as a vendor in October.
Here is a sneak peek of the new lightswitch covers and table napkins that will be available soon!

Artpark Los Angeles
The Downtown Artpark was absolutely fabulous. The people were great, the night was perfect: bands, Dj's, food, smiles, what more could you ask for?
Did I mention food, the food was excellent!
I can't wait until the next event. If you have never been to the Downtown Los Angeles Artpark, I highly recommend it. Be prepared to walk alot and be ready to have a wonderful time.
I really wanted to take more photos but once the crowd hit, it was all over for the camera. Here are the only photos I got to take-- just as the event opened and people were starting to arrive.

As night fell, the crowd came pouring in, this shot is a bit blurry but I tried to get at least one crowd shot. Had to do it quickly my booth was packed!

Someone Hearts Me
Just thought I would congratulate myself for receiving 100 "hearts" on etsy! It's good to know that somebody out there appreciates my work. I will keep working hard to improve and hopefully receive many more "hearts" along the way.
Hard work and improvement are never done. Trying to get the site off the ground truely is a 24hr job. I could spend all day everyday working on the site and still not be done. Hard work and dedication will pay off one day. That is the goal to keep working hard, keep creating and make a few new friends along the way.

Why Not Reuse Everything
With all the sewing that I do I always have scrap pieces of fabric, embroidery thread, etc. I figured why not use all of it in some way. So, I made some cool fabric cuffs and some clear vinyl heart shapes, with thread pieces inside the clear vinyl, that I can use as single ornaments or string together to create a decorative wall piece.
