  1. I just found out I was accepted into the Handmade Mart in Silver Spring, MD, and I'm super pumped! The show will be Sunday, May 31st, and will be accessible from Washington, DC via Metro.

    Other awesome folks who will be there include Oh Ginger and This Chickadee, which I'm pretty psyched about. Come on by, DC-area folks! It should be fun.
