First up, M Vintage!

Located in Jonesborough, TN, here’s how the owner describes the shop in her own words:

This store was created with this statement in mind: the past meets the present. By combining classic style with contemporary chic, we will strive to have clothing that not only looks timeless, but also makes the wearer feel beautiful.

They carry gorgeous clothing, jewelry and accessories including Xmittens!

Next up: Marmalade Jewelry!

As the name implies, this small shop in Evergreen, CO is primarily focused on jewelry. However, jewelry and great accessories go hand in hand, so they carry those as well – including Xmittens!

In this E-Book I share all that I’ve learned from over 5 years of selling my work online. It’s oriented towards people who have not, or just recently opened an Etsy shop and have not sold anywhere else online. 40 pages and 9 printable worksheets full to the brim with insights on how to set up an Etsy shop from how to describe your items, photo tips and ways to help you market your new shop on and off of Etsy! Plus, there’s photos of the inside of my Xmittens Etsy Shop so you will be able to know what you are getting into and a resource list with great links that will continue to help you create an Etsy shop.

Check it out here!

I will be offering an assortment of my wares including Xmittens and bubbles scarves.

Adam’s finished paintings from PAM will also be available.

If you’re in the Pittsburgh area and you’d like to stop by, please RSVP and I will send you a map and more details. You can RSVP by sending me a message on my contact page. We hope to see you!

During the week of December 11th – 18th , $10 for every jacket sold and $1 from all other items will be donated to the Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh.  Even better, join fellow artist Adam Shreckhise and I for our Open Studio Sale on December 17th.   Local customers can order online and reserve items to pick up (save on shipping!!), or just come on by and peruse our creative goodies for some last minute gifts and indulgences.  RSVP by using the contact page on this website (up at the top right) and we will send you details (including a map and parking guide).

First up, Shuze Boutique!

Located on the eastern side of Pennsylvania near Lehigh University, Shuze offers a mix of brand name clothes and accessories as well as a variety of handmade items. They even have stylists on hand to help you with your look! You’ll find Xmittens amongst the selection of eclectic accessories.

The second shop I’m featuring today is Whimsies Incognito!

Located even farther east, in Tarrytown, NY, Whimsies Incognito has been open for over 20 years. It’s described as “A funky, fun place somewhere between a gift shop and a gallery.” They’re the perfect place for decorative, handmade items for your home as well as wearable accessories and jewelry. Including Xmittens, of course!

Happy holiday shopping to all!

The Artisan Gallery has been around for more than 25 years and features a variety of goods from all different artists. They sell handmade fine art items like pottery and prints, but also functional items like clothing and accessories! That’s where I come in. You can find Xmittens at The Artisan Gallery as they’re one of my many Stockists around the world!

If you live more in my neck of the woods, you may be familiar with Lake Erie Artists Gallery.

Located in Cleveland, OH, Lake Erie Artists Gallery also features work from local artists. In addition to being a great place to shop for gifts, this Gallery also features classes! Very cool. They will be carrying Xmittens and matching hats for this holiday season.

Your support of my craft is a wonderful thing and I wouldn’t be where I am without all of you.  I recently said my goodbye to co-workers at my day job at Calliope:  The Pittsburgh Folk Music Society.  It’s been a great 5 years, but it is time to jump fully into my creative arts business!

As my way of saying thank you to my family, friends and fans, I’m offering Free Shipping on all Xmittens items this Friday through Monday (11/25 – 11/28). No discount code necessary.

I hope you all have a Happy Thanksgiving!

Pavement has been around since 2006 and boasts a beautifully selected collection of shoes, clothing and hand-made accessories by local, indie, and eco-designers, including me!

If you’re doing holiday shopping in Pittsburgh I highly recommend checking out Pavement. Everything is unique, carefully crafted, and you’re sure to find something you’ll fall in love with. And many of their clothing pieces would pair wonderfully with some Xmittens accessories!
