New chapter โœจ We are officially fully moved out of the storefront on Butler St. and back into our studio at @radianthall Lawrenceville. I wanted to thank Zane for being both the brains and muscle behind this move, and Kirsten for cleaning up behind us every step of the way. Ross came through when I asked for help moving sewing machines and our giant cutting table, and Lauren and I are now deep in the unpacking phase โ€” figuring out where everything belongs all over again. Needless to say, Iโ€™m incredibly supported, and very grateful for the people helping carry this transition with me ๐Ÿค From here on out, weโ€™ll be open by appointment only. DM if youโ€™d like to visit the studio!

Back from Bethesda ๐Ÿค Thank you to everyone who came out to the Bethesda Fine Arts Festival this past weekend. It was so wonderful to see customers new and old, and especially sweet to see so many mothers walking around with their children โ€” young and old โ€” over Motherโ€™s Day weekend. The best surprise was a visit from my friend Ninaโ€™s family. Sheโ€™s been such a meaningful support to me as a fellow mom, and our families are connected in meaningful ways. It felt really special to see them this past weekend. Grateful to everyone who stopped by, tried things on, shared kind words, and supported handmade work โœจ

So many meaningful interactions โ€” with the incredible organizers @smithsonianswwc , fellow artists (tagged in photos plus Pittsbugh artists really represented this year ๐Ÿ™Œ ), and everyone who came through the show. Iโ€™m really grateful for the care, energy, and encouragement that surrounded the whole experience. Maia from @safraneveryday brought such amazing support, and we were lucky to be across from our friend AJ at @jowdystudio (we brought so much color!). It felt like a week rooted in community. We even sold out of ๐—ซ๐—ซ๐—ฆ ๐—ท๐—ฎ๐—ฐ๐—ธ๐—ฒ๐˜๐˜€ in DC, and have been back in the studio all week working to make more.

Iโ€™m thrilled to be at the Smithsonian Craft Show @smithsoniancraftshowsswc this week โ€” and there are 2 days left to come see us at Booth 120. This yearโ€™s theme, American Artistry, celebrates artists who give raw materials new life and imagine what might be. Weโ€™ve been honored to be part of it. Itโ€™s been such a wonderful few days so far โ€” meeting new folks, reconnecting with longtime customers, and taking in the incredible talent throughout the room. Being surrounded by so much thoughtful work is always energizing. We were even able to make a last-minute run of iridescent purple silk dupioni Ruth Kaftan dresses โ€” crisp, luminous, and designed to move with ease (what Iโ€™m wearing in the last slide). Our new Anoushka Dusters are also making their debut this week. My friend Maia of @SafranEveryday is here helping me hold it all down, and itโ€™s been such a gift to share the week together. Join us and 120 of the countryโ€™s top craft and design artists at the National Building Museum in Washington, DC. Weโ€™d love to see you these final two days.

Designing a longer version was a fun challenge โ€” our vintage blankets are rarely large enough on their own, so each duster takes extra time and care to piece together matching textiles into one cohesive garment.

Thank you all so much for the love on our last reel about closing the shop and moving โ€” itโ€™s meant a lot to feel that support ๐Ÿค As we get ready for this transition, weโ€™ve organized a sale wall in the shop with mostly ๐Ÿฎ๐Ÿฌโ€“๐Ÿฎ๐Ÿฑ% ๐—ผ๐—ณ๐—ณ, and a few pieces at ๐Ÿฑ๐Ÿฌ% ๐—ผ๐—ณ๐—ณ โ€” including our ๐—™๐—ฟ๐—ฎ๐—ป๐—ฐ๐—ฒ๐˜€๐—ฐ๐—ฎ ๐—ฆ๐˜„๐—ฒ๐—ฎ๐˜๐˜€๐—ต๐—ถ๐—ฟ๐˜๐˜€ and ๐— ๐—ฎ๐—ฒ ๐—๐—ฎ๐—ฐ๐—ธ๐—ฒ๐˜๐˜€. We also have ๐—น๐—ผ๐˜๐˜€ ๐—ผ๐—ณ ๐—ฝ๐—น๐—ฎ๐—ป๐˜๐˜€ looking for new homes since we wonโ€™t have space for them in our new studios. edit: plants are for sale $10-$30 in our washable paper containers. I just realized that was ambiguous. If youโ€™re not local, almost everything (minus plants) is marked down on the site as well. If youโ€™ve had your eye on something, nowโ€™s a great time โ€” and if you can help spread the word, weโ€™d really appreciate it. It helps make our move a little lighter. ๐ŸŒฟ

After 2.5 years, ๐˜„๐—ฒโ€™๐—น๐—น ๐—ฏ๐—ฒ ๐—ฐ๐—น๐—ผ๐˜€๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ด ๐—ผ๐˜‚๐—ฟ ๐—ฟ๐—ฒ๐˜๐—ฎ๐—ถ๐—น ๐˜€๐˜๐—ผ๐—ฟ๐—ฒ๐—ณ๐—ฟ๐—ผ๐—ป๐˜. This is an intentional transition as we move back to our studio @radianthall (just one block away) and expand our space there. Our landlord is also selling the building, which helped shape the timing. Having a storefront has meant so much โ€” itโ€™s been a joy to meet so many of you in person. Thank you for being part of this chapter. Weโ€™ll continue with markets and offer studio visits by appointment. Our last day will be ๐—ฆ๐˜‚๐—ป๐—ฑ๐—ฎ๐˜†, ๐— ๐—ฎ๐˜† ๐Ÿญ๐Ÿฌ (๐— ๐—ผ๐˜๐—ต๐—ฒ๐—ฟโ€™๐˜€ ๐——๐—ฎ๐˜†). We hope to see you before we close this chapter. ๐Ÿค

It was also wonderful to welcome fellow craftspeople from across the country โ€” @christinaboydesign @megan.ilene @ebenotticeramics @taskwear โ€” always a highlight of these weekends. If you missed it, we have a stack of bucket hats at the shop and a handful of the new dresses still available. ๐Ÿ“ 4607 Butler St. Tโ€“Sat, 12โ€“6 PM Come by and see them in person โœจ
