Earth Studios

John from Glass Gardens first told me about Earth Studios. The owners had randomly stumbled upon his Craigslist ad for air plant consignment and from there he started a great relationship. I contacted them in late June about consigning my felt food and right away they knew it'd be a great fit. Getting out there and supplying a generous helping of the food was a different story. I should note "out there" isn't really "out there" at all. It's just down Colley Avenue, but anything away from my front door seems far away these days.

Anyway, I finally stopped by the shop and it's amazing. The quaint space has so much to offer in upcycled furniture, new and repurposed art, tabletop accessories and gifts. Shannon and Robyn, co-owners of Earth Studios, have such a talent for refinishing furniture, an eye for design and a great taste in home decor. It's an honor to be consigning in their adorable store and wish them nothing but the best for years to come!

#82 and #21 are off the list!

New Consignment & Felt Creations

Yesterday was a big, fun, fantastic day of firsts. Along with being on TV, I also started consigning with The Creative Wedge (#21: New Consignment). I stopped by the gift shop earlier this month and met Sloane, one of the owners. We decided that Fairview Place's felt food would be a good fit for the shop, so I got right to work. I made two new sets exclusively for CW, a berry set and a cheese wheel set (#25: New Products). I mean, what Artisan Cheese Shop is complete without fake felt cheese!? Haha. So excited to be venturing into the Hilltop area of Virginia Beach and working with such a lovely store.

The Creative Wedge is located at 630 Hilltop West Shopping Center. They are open 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., Monday through Saturday.

#83: Creative Wedge

The Creative Wedge is Hilltop's new place to be (shop and eat!). I stopped in today during my lunch break and perused the great selection of handmade gifts, art, books, cards and much more! The aim of the store is to be a home for quality American-made artisan food and art. I found some fellow Kitsch consignors there (Glass Gardens, DreamFly), and several new artists. The cardboard deer/rhino/unicorn heads are to die for! And I love the Make Your Own Goat Cheese kits - never would have thought of that!

Within a few minutes Sloane, co-owner, was showing me around. She offered me horseradish cheese hot pepper jelly. I'm not sure how she knew these are two of my most favorite things, but she definitely won me over. I was debating between the cranberry mustard, honey for cheese or the pepper jelly, but I went with the latter for my parents who are coming to town tomorrow.

Soon the shop will be carrying local beer and wine, along with an ever-changing cheese selection and seasonal gifts. Can't wait to see what they have next! Be sure to check them out on Facebook and Twitter.

#74: New Consignment

I can successfully cross of #74: New Consignment. I signed a contract with The Knapsack Consignment Shop in Virginia Beach today! The adorable locally-owned shop has all kinds of great gently used children's clothes and toys. Plus, lots of handmade baby essentials, like the pee-pee tee-pees I bought for our friend's baby.

You'll be able to find an assortment of Fairview Place felt foods there, even some new goods I created last week (cookies, pancakes and fruit...). I hope this is only the beginning of many more consignment opportunities!

Check out The Knapsack at 3352 Princess Anne Road, Virginia Beach, Virginia.

And, check out the whole felt food collection over at my online shop.
