Koto Showing at the 2013 Spring Handmade Cavalcade

SHC Postcard Graphic Small

Apologies for the long silence, following a long break after the holidays, I am gearing up for the next big project for the shop. I am very happy to announce that Koto will be showing at the next Handmade Cavalcade on May 4 at The Space in Williamsburg (503 N 3rd Street).

I’ve been designing, poking and sewing away trying to roll out a variety of new products for the show.

Since Mother’s Day is the following weekend I prepared several cards that would be appreciated by moms.

Above you’ll see a mother and baby owl card, a trio of flowers, and geometric MOM text cards.

I’ve also expanded on the super popular bike mini-notebooks and enlarged them into sketchbooks.

In addition to the bikes, you’ll find a variety of geometric patterns on sketchbooks.

These notebooks are inspired by the decorations on the earth houses in Tiébélé, Burkina Faso.

After the show I’ll be updating the Etsy shop with new listings for everything, but to get first shot at these products (and to avoid the wait of me making new inventory), come check out the Spring Handmade Cavalcade, this Saturday, May 4!

Holiday Handmade Cavalcade in Williamsburg

I am very happy to announce that I will be participating in my first ever craft show, Handmade Cavalcade! It’s a bi-annual event organized by the Etsy New York Team, also known as The New New. The team has been a great resource for me as I work on improving my shop, and I’m working hard to prepare for the event. It will take place over two days, December 1-2, just in time for the holiday shopping season. I’ve been creating displays, developing packaging and expanding product lines, which I will feature here in the upcoming weeks. Hope to see you there!
