Oh! I am a peninsula! And many folks make up my waterways, fjords, neighboring towns, and unorganized territories. Some are also like far away towns I import from and export to.
The point of all of my botched mangled metaphors is the wonderful folks I consider my posse. This may take a few posts and don't feel bad if you are a peep and I haven't written about you yet. I will.You know me, scatterbrained.Chill ok? I still love you too!
My online selling mistress is Afro BagLady who makes amazing, up-cycled bags that are the raddest. We lost our craft fair cherries together sharing a table at the Studio 36(shout out Jodi! Your paragraph is coming too!) x-mas open house! We shamelessly promote each other, and when my etsy closed she said it was like breaking up =( And it was! We still hook up on facebook though!
Here are three of her bags, I love how she uses the re-purposed garments features like collars, lapels and tags as a design element!

Ms. Bag Lady is actually a Mrs. with quite a handsome Mr.. And her Mr. happens to be the brother to the Mr. of my other crafty bff-- Kat of ThreeLittleSisters . Kat has been like a mentor, her jewelry skills and experience are amazing and she can answer any question, makes bomb-diggity cookies, and taught me the maxim, "if you take yourself seriously, other will too". Alas, there are only the two brothers, or else I would have more friends and odds are, eventually one bro would play for my team and I could get a hubby too! Here are two pieces of Kat's. The first speaks for itself, and speaks volumes about her talent. That's a chatty picture! The second I love, because it shows her range, intricate bead embroidery or fun and funky wire work.Often, I' ve found more accomplished jewelry artist can forget how to make fun stuff that isn't intricate. Not Kat though-she can do it all!

Earlier, ya know I was kidding about the wanting a hubby of course! As you may know I am not a lonely single Dork, I have a wonderful Geek to share my life with! Who also happens to make fun, eco-friendly jewelry, for the geeks who go glam. His shop 1chicgeek is nerdy kitschy goodness!

For supplies, my fave local bead shop is Downeast Sticks and Stones! Great quality, selection and prices, inspiring classes, and staffed by the 3 most helpful, encouraging ladies around. Crazy talented as well!
I am a huuuge fan of Polestar, Magenta Sky Studio, and Lobster on a String. On Etsy I was part of the amazing Etsy Maine Team I can't even begin to list all of the greatest artists who were also part of it. They are all listed if you follow the link!
Phew...I'm spent!
