Black Friday Productivity!

Posted by veryspecialjackets on

The studio was open and buzzing away on orders, getting ready for our New York show next weekend,  and mentoring a future intern?

Jane always comes for Thanksgiving and stays over to do something fun (last year it was fishing)

This year she wanted to make some toys to donate, so this admitted “hobby hopper” learned to sew in about 5 minutes under the guidance of the expert Toshiki!

And here it is finished, right before dinner!

But we did take a break to get some fresh air and walk among the fiber creatures at

Long Island Livestock Company

Such a wonderful place, and they are having an Open House to visit Tomorrow, November 30!

Thank You Philadelphia, Onward to New York

Posted by veryspecialjackets on

We had a great show at the Philadelphia Museum of Art Craft Show. Pleased once again this year that our work appealed to women in their twenties thru their eighties, who want to be stylish as well as warm, makes us feel like we are staying current as well as classic. Thank-you all who purchased, and with this fall freeze I am sure you are happy. If you had your eye on a piece, it may not be too late so give me a call 212.475.8324 or email me!

So many interesting people come to the show as well. Here is Valerie of Idiosyncratic Fashionistas trying on one of our shearling head pieces!

A fundraiser for the historic Cathedral of St. John the Divine, Dec 5th, 6th, and 7th.

Also catch the exhibit of the Phoenix by Xu Bing, on view thru the end of the year.

We are really excited for this one…….Stay tuned for more info!
