The CHA show in Anaheim was fantastic, as always! One of the events at the show that everyone enjoys is the Lion Brand Yarn Fashion Show. It’s always exciting to see what new fashions will come down the runway — especially since most all of them are made entirely out of yarn! Enjoy some of my photos from the show:

NYC Holiday Inspiration
This Thanksgiving, I visited relatives in New York City and had an amazing time taking in the inspiration all around me. The evening before Thanksgiving, I was able to pop in to some of my favorite shops on Madison Avenue — free of crowds! —and take some snapshots of the eye candy all around me. Enjoy!

Recycled Style at The Country Living Fair 2011
The Country Living Fair is always an event that I look forward to! Held in an outdoor setting amongst the hills and beautiful fall color of central Georgia, the event provides the perfect setting to discover new art and artists. This year, I did a presentation called “Recycled Style” in which I discussed some tips and techniques that I’ve collected and shared over the years through Indygo Junction on how to refashion old clothes into new. Happily, examples of upcycling were all around me at the Fair! Here are some of the creative ways that I saw artisans re-making old into new:

The Creative Connection 2011
The team and I headed up to St. Paul, MN for the second gathering of The Creative Connection in mid September, and it was truly an experience not to be forgotten! In addition to the wonderful keynote speakers and workshop teachers, I was also honored to be part of a panel on Self-Publishing, and my team represented Indygo Junction, The Vintage Workshop, and Vintage Notions in our Marketplace booth. It was a whirlwind of networking, learning, and sharing, but so inspiring! Enjoy some of my snapshots from the weekend:
