Holiday Shopping First Friday

Went to the October First Friday ART MURMUR in Oakland and it was so much fun. Toatally yummy food trucks everywhere. Music, awesome art galleries ... . One of my favorite is The 25th Street Collective. . So excited I'm going to be showing there.

Labels

I just called It's Mine Labels, the great small business that makes labels. I needed to order some more labels for my GreenStyled Sweet D. Guess what, Lucinda is using my label on her site. I love it. It's Mine Labels sew on labels. Lucinda, the owner is so charming and helpful. As a small business owner herself, she really knew what I needed and wanted. When I first started GreenStyled with the GreenStyled Carry-All I knew a label could help immensely with advertising. What to put on the label, clarity, catchiness, there are so many factors. As GreenStyled evolved, so did the label. Lucinda has such a good eye. She shared and helped me excecute the GreenStyled message; all on a label. WOW

Building Resources

Coming to Building Resources is the perfect San Francisco scavenger hunt. An upcyclers dream. Just off 3rd Street, the wonderful T MUNI Metro will take you right there. I get off at Amador Street and walk across the bridge. If I've given myself enough time, I'll go sit on the beach which overlooks the water. Surrounded by grass it's crazy to think you're right off such a busy Street. I once spotted a sea lion lounging about completely obliious to the urban surroundings. I cross the train tracks and wander down to see what cool old stuff can be made into something new. Wood of every size. Mixed in among the huge splintery planks, I scored a gorgeous redwood dowel. Cut into 1/2" rounds they made perfect huge buttons for the SWEET D I LOVE my city!

Legal Help

This is such a truly awesome organization. Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights They did pro bono work for me to get my copyright for the bags. I had amazing lawyers who not only did the legal work, but really loved all my work. Was invited to attend thier annual lunch as one of the people they helped in thier "legal aid for new entrepreneurs" .
Reine Silverlight of Small Business Graphics, my WWM, (Wonderful Web Mistress), made a great brochure for me. The response was so great. Unfortunately since I got there a bit late I have no pics. One of my NY resolutions,Prepare!
