It just so happens, I was kindly asked to participate in my very first Ebay boutique launch. Sweet Eva (Whom deserves an entire blog post all to herself!! Thank you Eva! I adore you!) stuck her neck out and invited a non-ebayer, ME, to dust off my trusty seller ID and whip up an offering. Aptly named, "Indelible", our focus was on Joel Dewberry's AMAZING debut fabric collection, and each of the 51 sellers has created quite the menagerie of goods. I'm honored to have one of my designs listed amongst these talented designers and friends.
This will truly be a one-of-a-kind design, custom made for the winning bidder. (AAACK, I hope someone likes it enough to bid!) This is my personal favorite apron to date, and it has to do with a little detail that you can't see in the photo above. You'll have to check out the listing to see it! Any ideas what it could be? ;)
OH, and the description is definitely tongue-in-cheek. I certainly don't mean to imply that you'll have men falling all over you if you're wearing one of my aprons....but I HAVE received quite a number of emails telling me that the HUSBANDS of my customers really like what I do. That always gives me a little chuckle. :) Not to mention the men at the laundromat ogling at my beautiful sister while I was snapping away. Good grief! I was laughing so hard I could barely focus the camera. HA!
I better go before I dig myself into a hole...
I hope you all have a wonderful weekend! I'm planning on a bit of thrifting, playing with the babies, and starting to PACK!! The new house is just almost done. YAY!!
Later beauties~







Yay! I love it! Great job yet again -- and your secret detail was such a fun surprise while I was scrolling! Betty's sure to be a hit. :) XO

Hi Kim!
My Goodness, what a delicious apron! Love the corset detailing, LOL! But... my question is... do you custom fit the bust? LOL! ;)
Anyways, thanks for the link to the handstamped necklace, HOW CUTE! I need one, and I know a friend who'd enjoy it too!
BTW~ we are in the middle of packing up too! We are moving to Rockville, MD, a suburb of DC! And in only 3 weeks, Yikes, better get going!

Gorgeous Gorgeous Gorgeous!!!
I've been thinking of attempting Ebay. A lot of people have nudged me in that direction but I have no idea how to do templates and all the stuff. I wouldn't want the listing to look like doody. :)
Soo happy your finally getting ready to move. I know its taken forever to be done. Waiting is so hard.
