Hissyfits Hullabaloo!

Hands down, one of my FAVE yearly events for vending my jewelry is the Hissyfits Hullabaloo! Its always fun and full of beautiful wares and handcrafted items! All the hip mamas in Phoenix know that Hissyfits is the coolest little kid/baby consignment shop all year 'round. This past event was back in Nov and I am just now posting pics of me and Stacy H., who came up from from Tucson to help me sell Essem Design. It was a blast! But then again, we could have been selling horse manure, and we would still have fun!

XO, Stacy M.

Who else is just as excited for Halloween as me and Stacy? The weather here in Arizona has FINALLY started to cool, and we have so much to look forward to this month! Costumes for the kids, Stacy H.'s birthday, a costume party at my medical school (and we get to wear our costumes instead of scrubs!), and of course ALL the totally fun, creative items that spring forth from Halloween festivities! I also personally love all the Halloween products in the stores right now, cool skull dishes and plates that I actually use all year 'round LOL.

Next thing you know, Halloween will be over, we'll all have tummy aches from candy, and we'll be in the throes of Thanksgiving and Christmas! But before that, I want to share a cool Halloween Treasury that one of my resin necklaces was featured in on Etsy :) There is so much wonderful handmade Halloween stuff out there... like home decor for those of you who like to go ALL out. Or how about a handmade accessory to make your costume complete, and also stand out!




Both our shops, Essem Design and Running With Scissorss, have Halloween sections chock full of skulls, ghouls, zombies and frankies!


XOXO, Stacy M.

Yes! I was featured in this totally rockin' treasury on Etsy! http://www.etsy.com/treasury/4ca91c4e44108eef28909289/skull-tastic Just in case you aren't up on your Etsy lingo, a treasury is a collection of items chosen by one of Etsy's sellers or shoppers. They all have a theme and this one is "Skulltastic" (so right there you know it's got to be good) It is the cutest collection of skull stuff EVAR! So glad to be a part of it!! Thank you to Riorosso for including me!! This is the cute lil ring that got me in.. LOL It is still available in my shop.... for now...

Tucson Tattoo Expo 2010

What?! It's Fall already?

Man, this summer has flown by, and I am just now posting about me and Stacy's biggest Spring event which was The Tucson Tattoo Expo! We had a booth right next door to 4 Forty 4 Tattoo and needless to say, it was a blast with live tattooing, pin up contests and boutique shopping in effect!

While sipping premade margaritas and talking to our awesome customers that filtered through, we saw some of the best and most unique tattoos! Including this cute couple with matching corset piercings. I also fell in love with this colorful Marilyn Manson tattoo!

These rockin' kids' trucker hats are hand-embellished by Stacy H. and they were a huge hit! She sold out of almost all of them thanks to all the cool, tattooed moms and dads who wanted something unique for their kids to wear.
It's entirely too hot here in Arizona for craft fairs and most events, so our days have been filled lately with making new jewelry, birthday parties for the kiddos, and playdates with other mommies and such. We have been brainstorming like crazy on NEW items that are totally unique and reflect our personalities, sometimes sweet and sometimes sinful! We are stocking up for upcoming holiday shopping and have tons of Halloween goodies in our shops right now.

XOXO, Stacy M.
