a happy day

my friend susan from sulu-design wrote a surprise post about my art today and i am blushing all the way from this portland to her portland. thank you, susan! (i have written about her earrings here before, but if you haven't seen them yet, go and look at them right now - they're gorgeous and affordable and you should own several pairs.)

today is a pretty big day for several of my friends:
it's the publication date for amanda soule's creative family! and there are some lovely illustrations in the book by betsy thompson and photographs by jessie fields. congratulations, women! i'm so excited for you all.  amanda is having a book launch party along with an art opening for some embroidered pieces she's been working on at edith and edna this friday night - i will be hiding over in the introverts corner, quietly celebrating while trying not to get in anyone's way, because i predict it might be a little bit crowded. just saying. :)

I would have given you a heads up about my post today but didn't want your sweet, humble self (hello... introverts' corner) to feel awkward about it. I'm glad to feature your gush-worthy pieces on the old blog.
Enjoy the book launch party!

What a wonderful post on sulu-design! You deserve every word. Susan's jewelry is wonderful. She has such a sense of style and simplicity and her work is so affordable.

And thank you for the acknowledgement, dear one. xoxo

You reminded me about how much I love Sulu's jewlery and I went and bought a couple of pairs to celebrate spring! Yeah!!!!

Just found your blog and it's a keeper. Glad to find another person doing really awesome stuff in the Other Portland! I look forward to looking at more of your archives soon.
