I’ll be at the Llewellyn Holiday Market this Saturday, November 18th, from 10am-5pm at 6301 SE 14th Avenue. Stop by and say hello! They have a lot going on:

I had a great time last weekend at the All Saints Bazaar. The vendors on either side of me (Alshiref and Jo Lupton) were both incredibly talented and equally nice. They gave me some good advice, helped me when my credit-card reader stopped working, and kept me company during a long day.

I met some new customers, too. Adults who love to color stopped by and bought cards. A few others bought stationery for gifts. And one memorable visitor was a little boy who totally cracked up when he saw my mittened octopus card. That made my day! The card is supposed to be funny, and seeing a kid, maybe 5-years-old, get the joke was gratifying.

So, off to Llewellyn this weekend. Then it’s the Lewis Holiday Bazaar and Tree Sale after Thanksgiving, Saturday, December 2 from 10am-3pm. Phew!

On Thursday, December 8th, I will be at The Madeleine Marketplace from 2:00-8:00pm at 3123 NE 24th Avenue.

I’m looking forward to seeing what other vendors have made, meeting new customers, and getting inspired for new projects. I hope to see some of you!

You can find all of my cards and storybooks at Carrot Condo on Etsy. I am especially excited about my collaboration with Lisa at Panda With Cookie–three different dinosaur cards you can color and a plush ornament designed and hand-stitched by Lisa.

My Winter Octopus comes as a Card You Can Color and has the option of coming with an ornament you can color and shrink (like old-school Shrinky Dinks!). img_4102I also have non-winter-themed items, like my Storybooks You Can Color. In fact, “Sometimes…The Weirdest Things Happen At Our House” may be ready for a second printing! Others, like “Follow Your Heart…” will be retired after they sell out so I can make room for new books. More about those in a few months!!
