many hands were busy at work in our tent this past thursday as we launched the carrot campaign at the south wedge farmer's market. what better way to have spent a beautiful late summer afternoon than with good company and a good cause.

if you missed it don't worry, we'll be back again this week sewing and stuffing. and we still want your help!
no time to help? we know you'll want to buy one (or a bunch!) to adorn your front door this fall. stop in and get them before they're gone!

this thursday, we are doing something a little different in the second storie tent. along with the south wedge farmer's market, we will be launching the great carrot campaign of '08! what is this, you ask? well, read on...
spending each week at the market, we see first hand that it is so much more than a place to buy vegetables. it provides a gathering place for people from all over the community. a place to hear music, see friends and get to know your neighbors. what better way to thank the south wedge market than to lend a hand with their latest fundraiser!
we're making carrots (see the sneak peek photo below), and they are going to be so sweet you'll wish you could eat them! our plush carrots will be constructed (with your help...:) out of salvaged cloth and yarn and available for sale with the profits going directly to the south wedge farmer's market. hang them on your front door to let everyone know you're a fan of the market. we want to see the whole neighborhood with adorned doors! we'll be making a ton, so we'll need help! stop by our tent and we'll get you to work - we'll have a bushel of carrots to be stuffed, yarn to tie and buttons to be attached.
so this thursday, clear your schedule for the afternoon, pull up a chair and help us say thank you to the south wedge farmer's market!
see you there!

the lovely shanna murray, that is!
you can read her interview with stephanie at studio with a view. she offers us a window into her heart as she reflects on her experiences blogging. she reminds us that there is a world of encouragement and inspiration out there.
here's to finding it.

"i just need to make these."
this need is something all artists strive for, and with effortless simplicity, joAnn has found it. her hand-sewn fabric collages are a wonderful pairing of her passion for embroidery and her finely-honed sense of design; each detail is purposeful and perfect.
the softness of the palette and delicacy of the details easily transition into her gorgeous fabric flowers and her reusable fabric gift satchels. each item is made with extraordinary care and decision.
her work evokes all the feelings of a summer not yet passed... you'll leave the second storie tent with a hint of fresh lemonade on your tongue and visions of linens hanging to dry in the sun. and if you're lucky, you'll have in hand one of her precious moths, keeping summer with you long into the cold.
