so much to say, but first an announcement

i'm finally home after almost an entire month on the road. i have so much to say, so many stories, many photos, new art, and on an on. but first, i wanted to make a couple of quick announcements!

i've updated the shop with previously sold out necklaces, including a few new ones that i haven't previously offered, including these darlings:

(it reads, "you and me" on the other side - perfect for gift giving)

(it reads, "side by side" on the other side - lovely for a sister, or bff)

(it reads, "wish" on the other side - i've been wearing this one a lot lately [maybe because of all the dreaming and wishing lately])

these, along with many others from the collection, are available right here. they go fast, so get them while you can.

many of you have been asking about the new 2010 datebooks, so i thought i'd give you more of a sneak peak into the inside of the book. these are available now for pre-order (shipping out in the next few weeks) and will arrive signed by me.

love that it's spiral, and that it comes with an elastic closure

it features large squares for writing notes....and it also has:

month-at-a-glance sections (!!) and.....

each month has a page or so dedicated to note taking, and....

sweet rounded monthly tabs with inspiring quotes throughout. there's even a sturdy pocket inside for loose papers and such.

again, all the details here (with more photos) on how to get yours. i'm so proud of this datebook - my first ever!

and last but not least, my first calendar, also available as a pre-order (shipping out in the next few weeks - in plenty of time for christmas).

just like the datebooks, the calendars will arrive signed by me. more calendar details here!

it's so strange and a bit surreal to have datebooks and calendars out in the world, but i'm soaking it up and loving it!

speaking of surreal, i FINALLY saw the canvas line in a store for the first time ever. i was with john in one of our favorite little shops here in seattle. i turned around, and there they were: canvases and necklaces. it was a moment.

more soon!! but thanks for letting me give you the scoop on the new goodies before i dive into road trip adventure stories, like how i pulled so hard on the emergency brake in our old vw bus that the whole handle/break came flying out. yeah, stories like that.
