Where does the time go?

Just a tiny update! ArtWalk was great! So many lovely people stopped by and said hi...so much fun to get out into the community and make new friends! Seeing all our old friends is great too!

The Autumnal owls were a hit and can also be found at the retail space at Back to the Grind!

I am working on some new things for the shop which will hopefully be ready for the next two upcoming events.

I apologize to those of you still awaiting our Etsy opening, but since we’ve been so busy with actual live/in-person events, there hasn’t been much time for setting up internets/virtual shop stuff! I will try to get on that soon!

But first we have an event this Sunday, September 19, 2010 at Back to the Grind. Sweet Miss Manda of Mammal Chupie is hosting her Art Bazaar once again, and has invited Button, Button, Who! to run a table. The event is from 2:00 p.m. in the afternoon, until early evening at Back to the Grind at 3575 University Ave Riverside, CA , 92501…hope to see you there!

A week after that, on September 25, 2010, Button, Button, Who! will be manning (or should I say, womanning?) a table at the House of Flames, Jet Set with an Edge event in Norco! This clothing, art, and accessory party is not your typical Tupperware or jean/purse parties. There will be live DJ-ed music and hors d'oeuvres. Event starts at 6:00 and goes til 9:00 at 1992 Paddock Lane, Norco, CA. Come on down!

As for new merchandise, I will be showcasing lots more magnets and new hair clips! Just in time for fall are our felted cashmere button clippies! You’re gonna love them!

Still have lots of cute new Autumn inspired owls and a couple Fridas and Eskeletes left from ArtWalk! Get yours before they’re all gone! Of course I do custom orders, so technically you can still get one…but then you have to wait a little bit and that’s never fun, is it?

Patience is a virtue, right?

Things are getting rolling!!! After much deliberation, procrastination, and just plain old bad time management, I am finally getting this here blog a’goin’! Soon, I will have emailed all my mail list peoples and shortly (hopefully) after that, we’ll kickstart the Etsy shop!!!

But before all that, there has been much to attend to! There was a two week-long substitute teaching assignment which, although needed very much financially, ate up a LOT of creative time that could have been spent "Button-ing"! I have decided that is the verb I have come up with to describe what I do. There is also a new roommate who we are trying to vacate an office full of stuff to make room for. It's amazing how much stuff you accumulate without even realizing and then have no where to put it! There was a birthday (mine) which had to be celebrated yesterday…and it was! Happy 34 years to me! The day was spent eating, and spa-ing, and eating some more…in between all that I received my business cards (yay!), new logo stamp (double yay!) and bought some ribbon to stamp with my new logo to make tags for the next batch of Button, Button, Who! creations which are just itching to be put together! Such a busy time!!! There is a whole new group of Button, Button, Who! friends who needed cutting out, stitching on and the whole Button, Button treatment, of which we are in the middle of!

I am very excited about this next batch of goodies, because since we are nearing autumn, even though you wouldn’t know it by our over 100 degrees weather lately, I have made quite a few autumnal inspired pieces…maybe if I am really with it, I will be able to put up a few sneak peaks! Until then, I will just have to say that if you are into jewel tones, then there’s something for you…and if you are into Dia de los Muertos, there is something for you…and if you just like plain old cuteness, well then, you are in for a treat! But you will have to be patient! Hopefully they will all be ready for next weeks ArtWalk on September 2. I am planning on setting up outside right next to Back to the Grind again on University so that if anybody is looking for us, you won’t have to look very far! Hope to see y’all then!
