a lucky friday the 13th for me.  thank you, oh joy! for the mention today.

also, i was wrong.  there are still three days left to vote!

have a great weekend, everyone!  mine will be full of yoga practices and good food.  can’t wait to give you a weekend recap.  xoxo

thank you so much to the baltimore by hand blog and to modish for the lovely compliments today! it makes me so proud that the new collection is receiving a warm welcome-especially in my daily reads!

the baltimore sun publishes a daily free paper named, simply, “b”

today, if you flip “b” open to page 14, you will find a picture of me and the pups along with a quick Q&A. thank you, b!

you can catch the interview online via the “b” site, or their cool read the paper gadget.

in other news, michael jackson’s beat it just come on pandora radio. that song is still so good. i believe that my love of dance began with that album. what’s your favorite michael jackson song? i know you have one. mine is smooth criminal- i’ll give you one guess why that is HAPPY FRIDAY!

valerie tagged me a while ago (nov 18), but i’ve been holding out all this time because i knew this post would be up on the BEST blog: twenty things you might not know about me. thank you, BEST! it was really fun (and quite difficult) to fill out!

i’ve said it before. i’ll say it again: I LOVE BALTIMORE. thank you baltimore magazine for dedicating an ENTIRE issue to local craft and shopping.

above you will find an excerpt from the magazine. my favorite part reads, “One of the most charming things about Charm City crafters is the assistance and advice they offer to each other- often traveling together to shows and promoting each other’s work.”

i love you, fellow crafters!

xoxo,

annie

p.s. i think i’ve finally received closure from the SNAG and confessions ordeal through the little interview that runs on page 111. next up for me: i smell a baltimore inspired line in 2009 . . .

an imogene mention in the baltimore & d.c. november 2008 issue:

thank you, thank you, thank you to baltimore and the city paper. i have received the honor of Best Local Jewelry Designer this year! and one of the perks? definitely the party that the city paper throws. who’s ready to dance?

wow. i love this place.

congratulations to all of the best ofs! i’ll be thumbing through this baby all morning. (check imogene out on page 74!)

xoxo!!!

this sterling silver tie tack is the latest addition the “at sea” collection.  the tie tacks will be available for purchase online (along with the new pretty in pink earrings) in september.

i completely forgot to mention that i was lucky enough to be chosen for two interviews at some of my favorite places on the web! one over at indie fixx and another at craftsylish!

there is no feeling like the one i get when i’m sitting down with a cup of coffee and my daily blog reads to discover that lo and behold!- i’ve been featured in one of my favorite blogs!  thank you modish!

 ok. . . back to curing my cold. . . i swear.
