Once again I am working late getting ready for not just one market, but this time two.  

This Saturday I will be a vendor at A Paris Street Market.


And,

Next Tuesday I go on a road trip with my dear friend Amy, owner of the Pink Attic Cat as we both head over to Omaha, Nebraska to Junkstock.

You can visit Junkstock website here.

This will be a new adventure for Isa Creations as this will be the first time I go further than Loveland Colorado for a Market.

Working extra hard to bring many items.  Photos hopefully will be posted next week.

For now I only have a few, including this post on Facebook posted by Junkstock.

 Also been busy creating a new logo banner.
I used my fabric banner to create new business cards 
and digital logo.

 New business Cards, including new business e-mail address.

I have to get back to sewing!

After Paris Street Market, while on the road I will work to creating a post with photos of the many new items recently created for this Saturday's A Paris Street Market and Junkstock.

May- A Paris Street Market

The weather was perfect this past Saturday,

right up till the market closed at 3.

Then it got cloudy. David and Alex helped me load the u-haul van as it started to rain. Just before I collapsed the canopy tent, a strong wind gust hit. Thankfully both David and I were holding the canopy so it stayed in place. Thankfully all my inventory was packed before the rain arrived.

I will be a vendor at A Paris Street Market June- September and October. Here is the Market info I posted on Instagram last week

Grateful for my husband David who once again helped me setup. Alex and David also came after Alex's soccer game to bring me lunch. Enjoyed visiting with my friends -Amy of the Pink Attic Cat, Dale and Peggy, and Carla & Hannah.

Bike Flour Sack Tea Towels

One of my favorite techniques is Sewing Illustration.

I've created tea towels using this technique.

Last year I made and sold out of all my camper tea towels.

Earlier this year I created tea towels with houses and blue ball jars with flowers.

I have many ideas on other tea towels I want to create.

They all take time to develop- create a pattern and a technique as to how create it.

One of those ideas is to create a bike tea towel.

I finally accomplished it and I am happy with the results.

Like the mix media inspired girl Mantra pillows, I used vintage crochet flowers. Mini crochet flowers in the bike basket.
