South Wedge Farmer's Market

The South Wedge Farmer's Market opened this past Thursday to an overwhelming number of shoppers and friends. With blue sky and sunshine, it was a perfect day to celebrate all that our community has to offer and a great way to kick off the season.

Our very own Shanna Murray was there taking photos to add to the online portrait gallery. Wanna get yours in there? She'll be back again soon so check here, get your basket, your friends (the four legged variety also welcome!) and be a part of this exciting season!

Friday Favorites

Time for us to share with you one of our favorite Etsy sellers.

Wow. These stopped me in my tracks when I first saw them. These beautiful crocheted and felted necklaces are from Pirilam Poriscado.

They look so well made and her attention to detail is wonderful. The idea of wearing something that big, soft and completely handmade sounds just perfect right now as summer is almost here. I love the bright citrus colors as well. The rest of her shop is brimming with color, too! You should go check it out. right. now.

happy weekend all,

on a personal note

A quiet post will do for today, I think.

So what have we been up to, you wonder?
Aside from the aforementioned interview, we've all been busy in our own lives. True to it's nature, springtime has brought a wealth of change to all of us here at Second Storie. A new addition to assist an already thriving business. A move and a life change and the potential for another one. Some of us have been working away under the radar, and while we have no official news to speak of, we are no less engrossed in the constant ebb and flow of change. Knowing that each little shift brings the potential for bigger and better things, we are enthralled by what this year could bring.

So, friends, what has been keeping you busy during these early days of spring?

We're back in the saddle

Hmmmm....
It's been a while since our last chat.
Well, we've taken advantage of the early spring for some personal projects, but don't worry. We have some ideas cooking for this year and have much to fill you in on, friends.

What have we been up to? Shanna and Rachael's collaborative letterpress project was the first feature on Collabo, a collabortive interview project by Jena at Modish and Jane of Scoutie Girl about (what else?) collaborations. Whew! That sentence took about 5 minutes to write! Their interviews can be read here and here.

And in case you haven't already heard, our dear friend Nicole of freshlyblended has just started a family with a new baby girl!

We have so many fun treats in store for you this summer and we can't wait to share them with you. And we have some very important news coming up within the week, so don't go far. We promise we won't either.
