Hi friend,
What a weekend! 🌞
Made Market was such a joy — thank you to everyone who stopped by, shared a story, or took home a piece of art. I’m deeply grateful for the warmth, encouragement, and meaningful conversations we shared throughout the day.
From the new larger tote bags (inspired by your requests!) and long time favorite art puzzles, it felt exciting to bring fresh offerings into the world. While my mugs didn’t sell quite as I’d hoped, it was exciting to see your reactions to them. Your feedback, smiles, and support continue to shape and inspire what I create. 💛
If you missed out or couldn’t make it — don’t worry! Many of the pieces (and a few remaining mugs and totes!) are available on my website:

And if you’ve been feeling the nudge to create something of your own…
