Introducing...Overworked Press

We did it! Phil and I opened an Etsy shop together!

Philip's been meaning to start his own artist website, but we set this up tout de suite to facilitate sales of his prints and the Nick-Unicorn coasters and stickers we're releasing (for reference on "Nick-Unicorn" see this post). Despite the "Press" in the name, I'll also be adding some handmade art of my own in the form of embroideries and maybe even some crochet goods. Still working out the logistics of that.

My Wichita Vintage shop is still open, albeit a little neglected as of late. But I'll be adding more items in the coming weeks, including some cutsie vintage kids' clothing and some awesome cups I found locally (for real, SO CUTE).

Anyway, check out Overworked Press!

First Etsy Sale, Woohoo!

I just had my very first Etsy sale, and I'm over-the-moon excited!

Somebody lucky is getting this absolutely GORGEOUS silver clutch that I've had forever. :)

If you want to check out my shop, Wichita Vintage, just click on the link or go to Etsy and search for "Wichita Vintage" under shops.


Yay,
Jes

PS--There are a couple of non-vegan items that belonged to my grandmother. I really, REALLY debated listing them but did it in the end.

A Joyful Friday To You!

I'm so glad the weekend is nearly here, aren't you? This was a long 4-day work week.

We like to play around here on Fridays, evidenced by me cheesing it up with my boss:


(We're selling tickets internally for some goodie baskets we made to benefit the Susan G. Komen Foundation, thus the poster...).




I was thinking about some things this morning:


1) HOPEFULLY attending the Kansas State Fair in Hutchinson, KS, which opened today. I LOVE the State Fair, look forward to attending it every year. Phil's not totally sold on the idea: the last time we went, 2 years ago, we had to wade through mud in nice shoes after the tractor carrying us through the parking lot blew a tire before it got to the gate. I also got horribly sick off fair food about an hour after getting there.


2) Planning to post something on the luscious cornbread cake I made on Tuesday. Phil totally ate half of it (and he ate my roasted red pepper pasta that I made again last night, very surprising for him!).


3) Enjoying my whole lunch hour today.


4) Getting a leaf-shaped paper punch from Michael's for wedding confetti. I bought a heart-shaped punch for this purpose yesterday (thank you, Martha Stewart) and punched my way through an entire old book.


5) How much I super-adore etsy.com.


6) Digging through the ribbon/lace Mom gave me last Friday for the wedding. I saw some really pretty colors in there!


7) Picking up where I left off designing menu cards and centerpieces at home last night.


8) Enjoying the weather, once again, though it will probably be a hotter and more humid day than yesterday. Still nice, nonetheless.


9) Listening to these great bands lately: The Smiths, Pixies, & The Dandy Warhols.




I hope you are having a fantastic Friday. This weekend looks promising, does it not? :)
