Hello Again My Life 3 Years After My Last Post

So it's been a long time since I posted any thing to my blog. A lot has changed since my last post!

2013 moved back to Seattle and quit my day job!! I'm now my own boss and live off my sock money!

The first part 2014 was I accepted as a Pike Place Market crafts person permit holder! You can now buy my SLUGS fleece rain boot liners in person along with my Tongass the SLUG stuffed animal.

October 2014 I became a MOM!! We welcomed little miss Charley Paisley into the world!!

I'm much better at keeping my facebook fan page, twitter, Pinterest and Instagram update find me here.

Keep It Local Shop Locally

I’m starting a keep it local campaign I believe supporting local business by shopping locally is important to any community and even more in Ketchikan. Ketchikan is a busy little town in the summer but once winter hits and the cruise shops leave a lot of the shops board up their windows and leave for the winter. Etsy is also supporting their customers to shop local online and support the region, state and town you live in with their shop local search function.

The first person I would like to feature is my Etsy friend Sarah and her Etsy shop Bodhi Handmade. Sarah also lives in Ketchikan, Alaska and sells her clothing and accessories at some of the same local festivals as I do Winter Arts Festival and the summer Blueberry Arts Festival. At the last Winter Arts Festival I bought one of her Yoga-Top skirts and LOVE it!! It goes with everything I dress it up and I dress it down by throwing on a pair of Xtratufs as seen in the picture below. I will be buying another one of her skirts soon!
