Sacramento and Company TV show!

Oh My Gosh! Things around here have been so exciting lately! First the Sacramento Bee article came out last week, and now I was on TV today - on the Sacramento and Company, Channel 10's morning show for my Warm Hugs Design business. Thanks to Lilly for inviting me to the show and Guy, the host who made me feel so welcomed and relaxed during the segment. All the folks at Sacramento and Company are awesome!

Have so many blessings to be grateful for...

I was in a Sacramento Bee article today!

Warm Hugs Design was featured in an article today and my picture is on the front page of Section D! Niesha Lofing, the article writer meet me a year ago during one of my Foothill Farmers Market Association's farmers market and said she had been waiting for an opportunity to include me in a story. She thought I'd be perfect for this article. It's a wonderful article - so inspiring for crafters especially in this economic time and full of great info. I'm so excited and just wanted to share...

I've been accepted!

Warm Hugs Design's vintage lovely's have been accepted to be part of the Foothill Farmers' Market Association - the folks that run the market at The Fountains (fancy new mall across from the Galleria) in Roseville on Tuesday mornings from 8:30am till 1:00pm, the market in front of RC Willey in Rocklin on Saturdays from 8am till noon,the market in Auburn on Saturday mornings, and a few others. I'm honored to be part of this association.

My first market with them was this past Saturday morning at RC Willey. What a wonderful group of vendors, farmers, and customers, so nice! I'm hoping to get a space soon on Tuesday mornings when one opens up at The Fountains too - it is so pretty there!

Warm Hugs Design has also been invited to have a booth out at Thunder Valley Casino for their summer outdoor concert venue on Saturday evenings. Yes I'll be tired doing two venues in the same day I know... The vendor area opens at 5pm and the concert starts at 8:30pm I believe. Smokey Robinson played on Saturday - he's still got it! Go check out their web page to see all the other exciting acts coming! There are food vendors, handcrafted items, and a variety of other vendors - nice to just walk around even if you aren't going to the concert.

I post on www.facebook.com/WarmHugsDesign and on my Etsy shop at www.WarmHugsDesign.etsy.com where you can find me each week. So go check out one of those sites to find out where I'll be. Then plan to come by and say hi!
