If any of you are Finnish, feel free to tell me more  about this vintage Christmas card but from what I understand, the top of the card reads something akin to "Merry Christmas".  The pig represents good luck.  In fact, in looking through a series of vintage cards, I found a ton of pigs... dancing pigs, ice skating pigs, pigs dressed up like husband and wife.  I like thinking of the pig as symbol of good luck.  And I think that like this card portrays, sometimes you have to hustle to catch the good luck.

So, I wish you all a happy holiday and new year filled with a little bit of hustle and a little bit of good luck.  I very much look forward to doing some hustling of my own and I can't wait to get my 2011 started. 

Have a happy and safe weekend!

quick shop update

Yo.  The last few weeks have been busy, busy, busy.  Just wanted to drop a line to say that due to a (nearly) overwhelming number of sales in the last few days, I'm extending my wait list to 7-10 days.  This will make Christmas delivery fairly unlikely for those who have not placed an order yet.  But fear not my fellow procrastinators, I am offereing gift certificates in amounts of $30, $50 and $75 so you can still give the gift of handmade awesomeness.

Also just a quick thanks you to everyone who has brought their business or sent some business my way.  You've helped my 2010 blow my 2009 out of the water and because of that there are very exciting things ahead that I just can't wait to tell you about... but I will... cause I've got sewing to do!

Happy, happy holidays to all my dear friends around the world.
