I just wanted to say that I hope you are all taking good care of yourselves. The world is literally on fire and I’m afraid that this is just the beginning.

I also want to urge you to support each other. Feed your unhoused neighbors. Help a friend. Give in any way you know how. Billionaires and politicians will not save us. We have to save each other.

So much love to everyone. Be strong, be brave and get involved in your community today.

My year in review. I didn’t land exactly where I would’ve hoped sales wise for my business, but I’m still really proud of myself for doing 47 events this year. I think I pushed myself a lot creatively too. Most of my designs are now made totally from upcycled pieces and to me, that’s a big win.
