Hard to describe what an absolute trip to the moon Flock Fiber Festival is. The fashion!! The frenzy!! The friendly faces!! This was my best sales at Flock to date, which also means it was my best weekend sales EVER! 🥰
I am so overjoyed to be part of this show for my third year running—huge thank you to Jess for wrangling an event of this magnitude so beautifully and for including me as a vendor again and an instructor for the first time this year! I loved teaching my class on Snapshot Chokers and truly cannot wait to see all your finished jewelry, please please tag me! ❤️🔥
Next I want to give big hearts and shouts to the Portland buddies also vending at this show, Nonisgan / ნონისგან and Elana Gabrielle, loved that we got to be neighbors all weekend 💕
And maybe most of all, thank you to all the Flock attendees! So many of you came up to my booth just to show me you were sporting a pair of Reiko Co’s from previous years 🥹 I am so happy to see them living their best lives with you! Thank you thank you thank you for supporting my work, and for saying nice things about my beads! Being a small business owner for completely handmade goods is kind of a wild ride but you all make it possible and beyond worth it. 🌟
I got a lot of questions about workshops in Seattle and beyond and YES, I would love to teach more classes in new locations, please forward me any studio spaces you love to attend that host pop-ups, and I’ll start planning!!
Lastly… swipe to the last side to peek me modeling Nonisgan / ნონისგან’s fully tufted vest inspired by traditional Georgian art and fashion in front of her gigantic wall art piece that fully stopped y’all in your tracks this weekend! ❤️❤️❤️
Ok, back to the bead den, kisses. 😘
