My New Home!
If you've been wondering where I went, I've been
working on a project these past few months called One Brown
Crafter. It's actually a blog I created to give voice and
space to the many artists from diverse cultures by showcasing their work. I'm
having a kick butt time with this new venture and it has grown considerably in
the 6 months that I've been at it and I am excited to see what it will grow
into. Come join me and the OBC community of artists here. You can also
"Like" my Facebook Page. Hope to see you there! And if you want me to feature your work or the work of an artist you know, check out the submission
guidelines on the blog or email me. Thanks!

Hello Out There!
Hi everybody! I've been away for a hot minute because I've been quietly working on some projects and you know how that goes. Something's gotta give! I've got some art programs I'm doing with kids, which is out of this world fantastic and inspirational and the other stuff I'm working on is a little too early to talk about..... unfortunately. So that's what's happening in the world of me right about now. I'll still be here posting stuff like once a week or so but my regular posting schedule will start back up in the fall. Have a great day!

Storage Sacks Doing Their Thing
Here you go, Jen. Here are the storage sacks at work. These pictured are burlap recycled from coffee sacks but they come in many styles. They are intended to be used for storage and can either be sat sat down or hung up, as they have jute hangers on either side of the sack. Here are some ideas on how you can use them: 1. in the kitchen to hold onions, garlic, apples, herbs, etc.
2. in your craft room to hold all your paper scraps, felt, glue, and the like.
3. in your office to store you staples, tape, paper clips, etc.
4. in the bathroom to store makeup, brushes, tweezers, shampoo and more.
5. in your shed to dry out herbs as well as a place to keep all your tools and other shed goodies.
6. a really cool idea is to group several of them together and hang them on the wall or the closet door in the kids room to quickly and efficiently hide toys and bric a brac.7.anywhere that you need a place for things! they're awesome!
PS: I wouldn't store eggs in them. I did that for the photo shoot because I liked the look. Enjoy!

Monday Marvel: Peacock Shop
photos by Stephanie B.I recently visited Peacock, the vintage and used clothing consignment shop and must say that I was quite smitten. Here are some reasons I found it charming and lovely:
1. the prices are shockingly cheap.
2. the design of the shop is well put together. it's rather sophisticated without being pompous and untouchable.
3. it carries vintage and used clothing, shoes and accessories.
4. Stephanie, the owner is as sweet as sweet potato pie.
5. i love her thoughtful touches like her hand-stamped product tags and business cards that add so much character to the feel of her products and store.
6. it's located in an awesome, historical building on Hawthorne.
7. it's in Portland.
8. it's located on the other side of Mag-Big, one of my favorite stores that carries handmade goods including my own (tee hee hee).
You can check out the shop at 3279 SE Hawthorne.

Tracyville Zine Update
I was informed a couple of days ago that 2 locations of Powells Books has sold out of my zine. That was really exciting news to hear so at present, issues are currently only available at the Beaverton store. I also heard from Reading Frenzy - the very cool "Independent Press Emporium" yesterday who informed me that they would like carry the zine, so I want to let you all know that new issues are currently being printed and will soon be on their way to both stores.
If you're new to these parts and don't know what my zine is about, it's called "Miss Tracy's Guide To Handmade Hair and Body Products" and is a how-to guide on learning how to make your own natural deodorants, shampoos, conditioners, lip balms and more with simple recipes. It's a sweetly illustrated, fun and informative little zine and truly a must have for those people who like me, have moved or want to move away from commercially produced body products. Personally, I love making my own body stuff and I like knowing that good, natural and organic ingredients have gone into making them. Have a great weekend! :)
