Everything Is Golden

Renegade was an incredible experience and while I wasn't able to visit with all the vendors, I was able to snag a couple amazing pieces from some pretty amazing people:
First, I picked up a few pieces from the incredible Tanya of Aguiniga Design. She was so sweet and I couldn't resist her stunning feminine rope jewelry. The gold leaf knot bracelet was a gift and I just had to pick up a layered coral necklace as well.Next, was the amazing Leslie of Chime Designs. Hand crafted from cracked drum cymbals, each piece of jewelry is a true work of recycled art. I just love the length and color of the Magnum Long earrings and can't wait to order more.Lastly, I was able to meet the vivacious Stephanie of Twinkie Chan! I love all her foodie creations and Vivs and I were lucky enough to snag up two of her Cupcake Coffee Cozy's before they were all gone. I have been using mine for everything and can't wait to get more of her crochet creations.There were so many incredible vendors at Renegade but I was over the top about these three. I must say, I think I'll be a frequent customer from here on out. Xxoo Chelsea

Renegade Wrap-Up

I had such an amazing time at Renegade in San Fransisco over the weekend! My dear friend Vivianna was kind enough to let me stay with her and the two of us had a wonderful time Christmas shopping, eating delicious vegetarian and vegan foods and running the Seablanket booth at Renegade!
I was able to meet so many wonderful people and do some serious networking. I've already got new things in the works and really can't wait to see how you all like the Handmade updates to the SB Etsy in a few weeks. I loved every moment of this weekend - great friends, wonderful event, incredible city.Guess what?! Tomorrow is the Seablanket Blog's 1 Year Birthday!!!! Keep your eyes out for more about Renegade and all your weekly favorites. xxoo Chelsea

Off to the City!

I'm so sincerely sorry for being so very absent lately. As you can imagine, Renegade has been consuming my life but it's been a wonderful experience. Thank you all for being patient and supporting my vision. I'm leaving for San Fransisco this evening - really excited to be getting a mini-vacation! SF during the holidays sounds like a magical adventure!!! I'll be staying with the lovely and beyond generous Vivianna of Polka Dot Robot. We've got fun plans to run around the city tomorrow, and she'll be helping me out at my booth all weekend!
I'll be selling a few of the clothing and accessory designs I've been working on and can't wait to get some feedback and meet lots of new faces! If you live in or nearby the SF area, please stop by -- I'd love to meet you! I'll also be live tweeting/blogging on Saturday and Sunday, hopefully posting lots of photos and excerpts, but we'll see how the days go. If you don't already follow my twitter, do so! I'll be posting lots of pictures and fun details from my trip! Can't wait to see some of you there! Xxoo Chelsea
