the indie-pendent hits the road

sewing in EAV

Spring has always made me a bit antsy and this year is no different.  Now that festival season is officially in swing, we are bringing our handcrafted goodness to a neighborhood near you!  As much as I love our beautiful space in Virginia Highlands, I need more variety and to be out in the community.  I love meeting new folks as well as spending time with those of you who I have already had the pleasure of sharing time and stories with.  I hope you will continue to follow our travels and keep your eyes open for our next big adventure!  If you are in the market for a special gift and cannot wait til we make our way to your neighborhood, shoot us an email and we will be happy to schedule an appointment to meet you at the shop.

Last weekend we were sewing in the streets of EAV (East Atlanta Village) and this weekend, we’re back at Bumble Bee Press for the annual Inman Park Festival…one of my favorites!  Jess and I have just about got our little “pop-up shop” ready to go, so we certainly hope you will drop by over the weekend.  To keep up with the weekend’s festivities, make sure to follow us on Facebook.

Bumble Bee Press is a letterpress studio owned and operated by my good friend, Julie Franklin, who has been so gracious to open her place to us.  The studio is located at 1025 Edgewood Ave, Atlanta, GA  30307, (next to One Eared Stag).  Our hours will coincide with the street market; Saturday and Sunday from 11 to 6.  Hope to see you there!

‘Til what?  Summer Camp, that’s what!  I cannot believe that Summer is just around the corner.  Seems like most of you guys just returned from Spring Break.  I however haven’t had my break yet, but do not worry, we are taking care of that in the next couple of weeks and when I get back, it will be full steam ahead to Summer Camp.

We have extended the number of sessions and the age ranges this year in hopes that you will be able to find a spot.  And Stefanie and I are really looking forward to spending time with the older kids.  We have a really cool project we are working on for them…but we are not telling, not yet anyways.

Get those registrations in!

Space Rental

THE STUDIO…a workshop and event space

the studio via sweetpeachblog.com

Our second floor studio is simply the most incredible of spaces.  The natural light and positive energy makes you want to move right in.  The space primarily serves as a workshop space, where we hold a variety of  “in house” classes, workshops and special events. However, we do rent the space out for private events and we encourage you to consider the space for your next…

Holiday Party…it’s just around the corner.

Private Workshop/Class…for your association, organization, club, troop, etc.

Birthday Party (kids & adults)…create your own or choose from one of our themes.

Baby/Bridal Shower…again, create your own or let us plan it for you!

Girl’s/Guy’s Night Out…for most workshops, it only takes 6 people to make a group!

Team Building Event…we can cater the project to your groups needs.

Creative Business Meeting…hotel meeting rooms are not exactly places of inspiration.

Art Opening…solo or as a group.

Trunk Show…a great way to show off your goods.

Book Signing…you finally finished it and now it’s time to share it with the world.

Photography Shoot…the space speaks for itself!

Poetry Reading…an intimate venue.

“House Concert”…but not too intimate.

The space has a full kitchen, a half bath, storage space, private entry/exit as well as access to our wonderful handmade artisan boutique and two courtyard spaces.

Rates can be found HERE.  For specific requests or more information,

please call 404-313-0004.

New Classes…

 

NEW CLASSES:
Lyn Deardorff of Preserving Now (Lyn teaches Canning and Preserving…next intro class is Feb 17th) is now offering an “Heirloom Baby Quilt” class (a 4-wk series on Wednesday nights, 7-9, beginning March 6) where you will not only learn the lost art of candlewicking, but also basic quilting.

Our favorite energy healer , Joy Holloway (check out her new website), will be guiding us through Julia Cameron’s book, The Artist’s Way, as we discover and recover our creative selves through a series of discussion and creative projects.  Joy is also doing something really fun for Valentine’s Day, Reiki Date Night for only $40 per couple (Feb 09 and 16, 6-7:30).  She will guide you and yours through a little hands-on Reiki that you can practice over and over when you get home.  Since we are experiencing technical difficulties, please call or email if you are interested in attending.

If you have not had a chance to attend one of our “Infusion, Elixirs, Tonics and more” workshops…you must.  Instructor, Brandon Bransford, is always adding new concoctions and new dates to the calendar, so make sure you have “liked” us on Facebook to make sure you don’t miss out!
