'Tis the season! Trying to reel it in and not go FULL ON Christmas (even though I maybe want to just a little). But even though I didn't pull down the giant basket o' Santa mugs just yet, I am stocking my Etsy shop with all things merry and bright, including a giant fleet of Merry Mobiles. Watch for them to start rolling in over the next day or so. I have been working on finding the COOLEST vintage toy cars since summer. These went so fast last year....act accordingly. 🎄🎅🎁

It's mid October but Mother Nature either didn't get the memo or more likely doesn't have a single eff to give. The persistent humidity is wreaking havoc on both my hair and the bedtime blanket situation (too chilly not to have one, downright suffocating with it on). And now my lilac bush is in full bloom, completely oblivious to the pumpkins decorating the front porch.

But despite this seasonal confusion, it IS, in fact, mid October. And the holidays are riiiiight around the corner. And on that note I've got a second sneek peek for you: Deck The Halls Wall Hangers. These decorative cuties will be available in three designs: petty patterned stockings with furry tops and trees with twig trunks, and hand painted snowfolk with fancy floral scarves.

Each of the three designs will also be available as a limited number of tree ornaments. Want to know how to get yours? Click on the link in my profile to sign up for Bee's mailing list....big new things are coming soon!

It's beginning to look...a tiny bit...like Christmas! If you know me you know how much I LOVE Christmas and you're probably seeing this and thinking, whoah girl, reel it in, we haven't even hit the halfway mark on October! And you'd be right.

But the maker version of me NEEDS to share the Holiday Pretties I've been quietly working on since late summer. NEEDS to because number one I'm so excited for you to see everything and number two, getting supplies in a timely manner has been nail bitingly stressful at best. Introducing something new is always a crapshoot- I'm excited and I love it and I always think "this is going to be HUGE" but you all don't always agree. Which is totally cool. So I'm breaking my November 1 rule and sharing some holiday sneak peeks with you all this week to get a feel for what I maybe want to make some more of, and what I'm probably good with what's on hand.

While the Merry Mobiles are nothing new (and yep yep there will be PLENTY of them this year), Trim Those Trees ARE brand new. Also open to better name suggestions, I had the Waitresses stuck in my head during the photo shoot and that's the best I could come up with 🤣. These wooden cuties are decked out (ahem..trimmed...) with Bee's signature vintage style florals that gently whisper Christmas but really, you could make these work all ding dang year if you want. Adorable alone or clustered, I feel like you are going to love these just as much as I do. Agree or disagree in the comments below.

New favorite pattern alert! Every season, I like to bring in colors and florals that feel in line with the changing days ahead. And with every new crop, there is always a pattern or two (or three or four) that I find myself gravitating to more than the rest...my favorites. If you've ever bought a hook or beer opener or ornament in one of these patterns from me in person, you've probably been met with a dreamy look and a "this is my faaaavorite" and applause for your good taste 😆.

These two are the two that have me all weak in the knees this fall. I swoon over the rich blue and the pink that isn't bubblegum but instead really kind of perfect. The cloud like flowers. But it's those leaves. Drab mustard? Dark khaki? In any other situation they would be described as meh but they are the single ingredient that brings these two gorgeous patterns all the warmth of autumn.

Be on the lookout for these two to make repeat appearances over the next couple of months. And someday, when it's not burried behind a mountain of stuff waiting to be sorted and organized, I'll show you the cabinet I lined the back of in the pink. Someday.

I just posted a Pretty Pumpkin update in my Instagram stories and the long and short of it is there are still pumpkins available, but I am too old/lazy/unsavvy to figure out how to mark what's been sold without redoing the ENTIRE story and ain't nobody got time for that. DM me to make a purchase or inquire about availability.

I have no more in person markets planned for the rest of the season so this is your best shot at scoring one of these sweet fall babies. They'll mix in BEAUTIFULLY with your spooky decor and last you right up until the day after Thanksgiving, when you switch them out for Christmas. Speaking of Christmas... I've got a holly jolly sneak peek that I'm bonkers excited to share with you all, probably mid month. If I can wait that long.

But back to the pumpkins. Head into stories to see them all and for purchasing info. That is all. Happy Monday.

Maybe you remember me saying (but probably don't, because I had to double check that I did, in fact say) that I had planned on having an autumnal pretty for last week's Clover Market, but that the main supply needed for said autumnal pretty had only just shipped two days BEFORE the market? Or maybe you were there and were one of the many who asked about the decidedly more spring like clovers? Or maybe you are none of the above and just along for the ride.

Anyhoodle. A box of cut to order wood pumpkins FINALLY arrived on my front porch on Monday afternoon. I have spent all week, between painting walls and chairs and setting up bars and making holes and filling holes and repainting walls, making these Pretty Pumpkins that I have been mentally planning since August. And while I have zero plans to do any more markets this fall, and Etsy is frankly a real so*******ch, I couldn't wait to get them finished and make them available to you.

So here they are and I hope you love them as much as I do (which is a lot). I will be sharing them with pricing and purchasing instructions in my Instagram stories a bit later this afternoon. I am admittedly TERRIBLE at social media and properly sharing things so I am encouraging (asking) you to help a gal out and tag friends, share this post, yada yada with any of your friends who might absolutely NEED a Pretty Pumpkin (and thanks in advance).

Happy Sunday!

I slept 10 hours last night and had two naps today and I am still WIPED OUT.

Yesterday was...bonkers. I, and so many other fellow vendors, haven't done an outdoor market in 2 years. Or any other sort of market in nearly as long. If we were rusty, you didn't seem to mind. That was one hell of a "welcome back". If there was ever a seed of a doubt that I might not want to do this on so grand a scale in the last year, it was firmly weeded from the garden during past week. I wore myself out, up waaaaay past my 10 pm bedtime, for days leading up to the market, making new pretties and dusting off old ones and putting on tags and prices and counting and making more....an endless loop and I enjoyed every second of it. Yesterday was the icing on the cake and I am filled with nothing but gratitude for everyone that showed up- organizers and vendors and shoppers alike. This is what I do, and this is exactly where I belong.

I didn't get a booth shot yesterday. Actually, I did, right before the market opened, but in the brilliantly bright sun I didn't notice that it was a total blur and before I got a chance to try again, well, "total blur" feels rather apropos. And about that brilliant sunshine...if you have ever attended or vended or followed any posts regarding the Collingswood market, then you know that in the...4? 5?...years we've been doing it, it has never, ever not rained. I have my hunches and more than one person came up to me and said it and, yeah, it wouldn't surprise me if my parents had a tiny something to do with that...if they have control over such things? Not really sure how that works. But what I do know is that they watch over their people and this Clover Market
family is definitely their people, just like they were your people and welcomed members of this beautifully insane extended family. And I will miss seeing them both there just as I know that many of you will miss seeing them both there but I know deep down in my still exhausted bones that they will always always be there, proudly beaming as bright as yesterday's sun. xo

I'm all aTWITTER with excitement...it's Clover Market day! And there's no car to pack or heavy lifting to be done. While I miss seeing my vendor friends and all of you, there's something pretty sweet about vending a market from the comforts of my own home, while wearing the comforts of what passes as questionable for pants 😆.
I'm sure you as customers find a good deal of sweetness in having the ability to shop from your own back yard and at your leisure, all weekend long. It's a win win.
These sweet vintage wallpaper winged birdies will be available starting tonight at 7 pm. Swipe left (if that doesn't work swipe right ) for instructions on how to shop the market. "See" you there!

Tonight's the night! Clover Market's Virtual Market begins at 7 pm, and runs through Sunday. Swipe through for details on how to shop, and another sneaky little peek of what I'll have up for grabs....it PERFECTLY sums up my feelings for the weekend.

Y'all. I have been keeping SUPER busy these past couple of weeks getting ready for ANOTHER virtual . I would say tirelessly working but I'm actually tired. I've been putting in hours past my 9:30 bedtime all week. All right, hour. Singular. But it's all SO worth it because in just 24 short hours, I get to share with you some brand brand BRAND new stuff I've been working on. Stuff plural. I'm pretty excited and hope you'll join this month's Clover Market's Virtual Market. Until then, this teeny tiny sneak peek will have to hold you over.

While I've been tossing around this idea of doing letters and words for some time, I was never really sure how the final product would translate. And while I absolutely LOVED the way they turned out, you can never really be sure how your customers will react. Well. You guys certainly showed some LOVE for these brand new Love Letters. I should have made more 😄.
While the first batch is all spoken for (and thank you and xs and os to everyone who bought a set this weekend!), rest assured I do plan on making more.
Leave a comment with your word suggestions! I'm open to anything...especially the naughty stuff.
