Downtown Glenside Art Festival

Another show down!
This past weekend we visited Glenside with our handbags. The Hub and I are continuously working on ideas to make our tent look less "tenty" so for this show we purchased two more bookshelves and filled them with our colorful collection.

I just ordered an official banner for our tent and we added some sheer curtains along the back of our booth to test out a way to make the feel more polished. That's still in progress..

Our next show is at Penn's Landing for the Art Star Craft Bazaar.
May 10th and 11th. Check out their website for details! 

Weekly Update: Week One

Hey there!
In case you missed my last post, let me fill you in on where I have been all week!

a girl named katie is preparing for five spring craft shows!
And because I am super busy in the studio preparing for these shows, I have decided to just blog once a week until the show season slows down. 

Here is our event list for the spring!

So here is our first weekly update:

This week I finished a lot of bags and I am preparing to finish some more next week.
(They are so pretty, I just can't wait!)

I introduced two new bags and they are in the shop!

 The Town Bag with a Merlot Pink Bow.

The Velvet Town Bag in Ballet Pink

Don't forget, the 30% off sale is still going on!
Use the code: FB300 

The new bags are included in this sale. 

These are limited edition!
So grab your favorite before they are sold out!

See you next week!

Katie

News, news, news.

Hey!
What's happening?!

Did you have a great weekend?

Did you feel that sunshine?
Did you hear those birds?!

We did!
And just like the cows in our pasture, we were lovinggg it!

My brother's birthday was last week and we had them over for the weekend.
I woke up early on Sunday and made him one of his favorite breakfasts, banana bread french toast with a loaf I baked earlier in the week.
We had strawberries and whip cream, and fresh squeezed orange juice.

Yum. :)

----------- Onward!! ----------

To the news: 

So you know how I told you I was accepted into three craft shows?
or 4..

now 5...

Yup. We are going to FIVE spring craft shows in the Philly area!
We just heard back from Art Star Craft Bazaar and we are in! 
So if you are in Philly, stop by and say hello! 
The show is two days, May 10th + 11th at Penn's Landing.

I am still freaking out. 

So much to do! So much to do!

So, that's the good news. Now for some bad news:

Because it is just little ol' me and anyone I can manage to bribe with coffee and baked goods helping prepare for the show, I have decided to take a bit of a back seat on the blogging front for a while.

I am planning to post weekly updates every Saturday that will include news, event information, and previews of new products. So make sure you catch up with us on the weekend! 
I will be back to blogging closer to the end of our Spring show season. 

Instagram updates will be posted daily!

Follow us on instagram to see sneak peeks!

But wait, there is more good news!

A Girl Named Katie is going to be getting a "brand" new look! 

We are officially working towards a new logo, a new website, and making several updates to our blog.
The new look is coming early this summer!

In the mean time..

1.) Don't forget to follow us on Instagram.

2.) Check out the Clover Market vendor list and all of those amazing artists

3.) Leave us craft show advice in the comments!

Did ya get all that?
See you on Instagram, friends!

Coffee Date: Craft Shows!

Let's grab some late morning coffee and chat about what is happening.

Well, I am freaking out with the excitement and joy right now!

God is blessing me and my business so much.
Since feeling called to leave my day job I have been able to dedicate all of my time to pursuing my passion and building my relationships with family and friends. 

In result, online sales have increased and I have become increasingly busy with projects!

I will be teaching classes at a sewing center in the Summer. (More details soon!)

I have had the opportunity to host several brunch and dinner parties for our dear friends. 

But most recently, I am going to three spring craft shows (still waiting to hear from two more) this year!

You can see us and shop at Clover Markets and Downtown Glenside.

We will be at the April 13th and May 18th Shows. 

This show is the First Annual show and it is on April 26th.
Come out and celebrate with us! 

Super exciting stuff, right?!

I touched base a little bit with you last week on my goals after finding out I made it to one craft show.
I am feeling overwhelmed, but I'm ready to grab hold of this opportunity.
I have what feels like a million things on my to-do list and I am so grateful to have friends that are willing to step in when I give a shout out for help. 

We are looking forward to some new products being made.

Some new business cards and promotional items.
And finding fun display pieces for our booths. 

Write down those dates on your calendar and check out their websites!
We hope to see you there! 

Chat soon!
