Independent Art + Design
I came across the greatest site for you all to check out. ELSEWARES. I think the idea is really, really great. I was actually thinking of putting together a site with all of my friends amazing products. Think about it, we have Ann’s … everything, Steven’s art, Beth’s collars + baby hats, I have several friends who make great jewelry, I have some odds and ends, and John’s t-shirts. WaLa! That right there would be one kick ass online store.
Anyways…take a look at the site. They have some great stuff!

It is really funny that you mention this… because…
This is exactly what I think we want to do with the next evolution of wears + wares. I have looked at littlepaperplanes.com and tinyshowcase.com for a while, feeling the inspiration, and (so far) haven’t made the time committment to make it happen.
However, new ideas come into focus: friends and new friends, a limited number of products, maybe a monthly showcase, culminating in a live show/sale at the studio space on the south end’s first fridays!
Likewise, Honah Lee Milne has a similar idea for doing a live sale/show at Motley’s home store, and we could coordinate with being the web presence/location/persona.
I love it! Let’s make a plan and discuss… over sushi?
