and because I have nothing else to do....

..well, actually I do, but I will pretend I don't and cease in neglecting my dear blog.

First off I would like to say that I had an absolutely fabulous time last weekend at the Bizarre Market in good 'ol Richmond. I met some stellar Richmond etsyers and walked away with a great sunburn, but all and all it was fantastic!

The Bizarre Market had been out of commission for quite some time due to some very tragic circumstances, but I am soooo glad to see it back. I also found out that they are bringing the holiday Bizarre Market back too! I've already sent my application in, and if you are in the Richmond area, you should too - here is some more info in the etsy.com forums:

Also, I have been meaning to post about this for such a long time: I am officialy vending at The Handmade Parade, being put on by the fabulous gals at the norfolk craft mafia. This is my first juried craft fair and I am so excited, and a bit overwhelmed by all the prep work. Especially all the officialness of having to collect that pesky sales tax and all the ins and outs that come with that. Which brings me to my next bit of news...



Autumnomatopoeia Designs is an official-bonafide-fancy-shmancy-licensed business!
Yes indeed, I couldn't put that off for a second longer. I even just signed up for a business checking account and I can't wait to get that shiny checkcard with autumnomatopoeia designs spelled out in glittery letters - I will be just so tickled when I see it, that is if it is spelled correctly ;)


Excellent, you are officially updated and now no longer neglected, for the moment that is, dear blog of mine.

Now, I must return to wade through my knee deep stack of grad school paperwork and well eventually get around to crafting some more wonderful goodies.

take care, autumn
