I haven't posted in a while, not because I forgot about this space but the pace of life is so busy sometimes I don't document it fast enough! I have news.
I'll back up a step. In my community there is a family who has been on a long and terribly sad journey. Their little boy, Kai passed away last night in his mother's arms. They have been blogging about their days here. As a part of the extended community coming together to support the family (and the Jimmy Fund) a craft fair has been organized (fb event here). I was asked by a friend to face paint and then I added a vendor table.
I haven't done craft fairs in many years as a vendor. Most recently I've organized and advertised them which is an organizational skill but not about me having products to sell. This challenge has me thinking and making... my list is a bit long but I'll have a table full of my creations and next to it a face painting space (creating art and selling art at the same time!).
This opportunity (plus a few others that have fallen in my lap) has pushed me to make Isabelle Jane a real business. I filed my dba and opened a business checking account just yesterday. As of today I can accept credit cards on my iphone and have a system to keep my art separate from my personal account. For me this is a BIG step.
So, as I create in the next 2 weeks, I'll post items here and everything that doesn't sell on the 8th will be added to my etsy site just in time for Christmas.
