Over the last couple of years I've had probably ten different people suggest that my greeting cards would be perfect for New Seasons. Finally, a few weeks ago, after some prompting and coaching by my good friend Lise, I applied with the wonderful help of New Seasons home goods buyer James. It all happened so quickly I was almost in shock!
So far, you can find my cards at the Mountain Park (Lake Oswego) New Seasons. My whole card line of eleven different cards is represented there, so if you're in the area and interested, please check it out. Meanwhile, my cards are still available at five other special stores and on Etsy.
I've managed to keep up with most of my blog reading, which feels good. I love this community of bloggers and love keeping in touch with the latest news from blog friends. Another thing that keeps me busy is Pinterest. It is a great way to find and store miniature tutorials and printables. I have hundreds on my boards. If you haven't discovered Pinterest yet, you might like it! :-)
Behind the scenes, I'm working on that Greenleaf Primrose dollhouse that I won in Tam Toum's giveaway over one year ago. It's shaping up to be a vintage kitchen. I'm working on a new character for that house too. I also have a new story in the works! And I may give Sophie the bear's Brambleberry Farmhouse a shabby country makeover. :-)
I hope all of you are healthy and happy. It's always a joy hearing from you. Thank you for your sweet comments! I read every one and appreciate them so much. Until next time, keep it fun! xoxo Jennifer
AWESOME!! congratulations honey, well deserved.
ReplyDeleteI just hope this doesn't swell Flossy's head. Then you will have to start sorting the mm's by color and have hand squeezed carrot juice in every room ;P

ReplyDeleteI was in 2008 in Seattle, when my youngest daughter was in high school, it is an exciting city. Especially the market by the water.
Great to hear that you are now back on track, it is also violently with 2 colds in one month. Take care of yourself.

ReplyDeleteHi Jennifer! Congratulations on the launching of your cards. They are so cute and it was such a wonderful idea to come up with the format of using your sweet characters and dollhouse environments to place them in. Also, congratulations on your fantastic Pinterest board. I was just looking at it and it has so many interesting things. Thank you so much for putting it together. It must have been a lot of work. I hope you are feeling better or will be soon. Colds are horrible to have and not always easy to get over. I see you have a lot of nice things in the works. Looking forward to seeing them. No hurry! Just take care of yourself!
