Etsy Love

One of my favorite things to do on Etsy is make Treasury lists. They are a fun way to put together pieces of great handmade work. Now that summer is winding down (just getting started in Portland) a lot of Fall themes have been popping up. This first treasury is one that I curated. The one below is from a fellow Portlander that I am featured in.
Please do take a look & feel free to comment on the Treasury!

Phew

Wowza. My blog has been beckoning for my attention for a few weeks now. As summer has officially appeared in Portland, my life has been one event after another. Not to mention that I am working around 40 hours (instead of part time as originally planned) in which I come home exhausted. In anycase, I have been buckling down creating new things & hopefully applying to some holiday craft shows.

I just discovered this excellent inspirational, motivational quote from Ira Glass. It speaks to all creative people & entrepreneurs. I love it!
This has given me inspiration to re-vamp my website, create new things for both my shops. I've been designing new buttons at Fia(pdx) Design & new print at home options. And have been brainstorming new plush products for Fia(pdx). I hope to have a freebie coming up soon & I hope to host some giveaways.
I'm also super happy excited to announce another blog called, Only in Portland, in which users submit photos/stories of their experiences in Portland. I'm definitely an advocate of keeping Portland weird. This is all in good fun of course. So, if you're a fan of Portlandia or live/work/play in Portland please check it out. I'd love to hear stories and see pictures!
Here's to summer, y'all!

Paying it Forward

On June 22, 2005 my family & I lost my papa to Pancreatic Cancer. He was a brave soul all the way through the end. The immense support of family, friends and his co-workers made our transition slightly easier and comforting. I am so grateful for all the love we received from everyone during those times. And through those who continue to love, support and care for us.
As a way of dedicating my resources to others, I have decided to come up with a new product lined entitled, "Mustaches for Benefit". These mustaches of different colors each represent an organization/charity. My first two are purple (Pancreatic Cancer) and pink (Breast Cancer). With the each sale I will donate 40% of the proceeds to said organization/charity.
Click to buy - look in "Mustaches for Benefit" section
It is my hope that with these donations it will ease the pain for those who have suffered from losing a loved one or going through cancer themselves. With each organization/charity I donate to I know that everyone's dollar is working towards a cure, a supportive network for those who are experiencing cancer and may other things. 
Please take a moment to view the listings. I would really appreciate it! Also, check back for different organizations and mustache colors. I hope to be donating money to animals, children, etc.

It's that time of year for weddings! It's lovely seeing all events surrounding weddings. I love seeing wedding parties on the water front in Portland. Here's my little dedication to those weddings & the traditions they hold.

Sloth Saturday

A Sloth is one of those creatures that I think are magical, whimsical and almost make believe. So, I thought I'd share some of my finds around the interwebs.

Enjoy!
