Love & Shrinkage


Hi buddies! here we are, just hours from Christmas Eve and our journey home to the shire (NEW HAMPshire that is) at 6am tomorrow. Forgive me for getting sentimental at times like these, but I want you to know that I appreciate all of your support over the last few months more than I can put into a witty sentence. It's been a record breaking December, and I am ever so aware of how lucky I am to have found my niche, and had such a prosperous season, in a year that has hit rough and painful spots for many of my friends and peers. By supporting local & handmade businesses, you are making a difference and strengthening our country's economy. Every time you choose to buy local you save money for your community, and when you buy directly from a crafter, you also get to warm someone's heart, and give them confidence to keep producing work.
This week, I go home to my family absolutely EXHAUSTED from the long days of printing, packing, shipping, and emailing all month, but it's the sort of elated, proud exhaustion you feel after a long run, or maybe... landing a dangerous stunt without breaking any bones. In the fourth year of this madness, I think it's finally starting to make sense, and I like what I see.
As you'll read in the etsy shop, The Philster & I are taking a few weeks off and traveling & revisiting our most comfortable & out-of-fashion leisure outfits. We'll be blogging from the road periodically so check in!
We're taking a stock of our finest printed scarves with us, and you can still purchase those in our SHOP and on ETSY, but all tshirts, dresses & onesies will be temporarily unavailable through JANUARY 17th, 2010. But dry your eyes, everything will be back in stock on that date, and we'll be in a new decade and the winter olympics will start, and wow... I can't even wait!!!!

Happy Holidays team. Good year.
love,
rachel
