I miss you all, but am working hard!

I am still working hard, but it feels very strange to not have the Etsy shops open. I miss the convos and questions. but I am not second guessing! 

I am working hard on getting ready for my Chantilly VA show on January 24, and there will be some new velvet skirts there. 

The other new thing is the hats made from brocades and wovens - not just knits. I will have a lot of those there too! My East Coast customers don't need the warm knits as much as us in the Midwest do, so I decided to try something new for January. 

I also have a whole new inventory of sweaters for the show. Some Cardis, Pullovers and wraps. Many will be perfect all the way through springtime. Here are a few of them as a preview:

Back to the skirts for a minute. I brought about a dozen knit skirts to the Chicago OOAK show in December, and they almost sold out the first day. They are so comfortable and provide winter warmth, but are not as stifling as sweaters can be for some people. They look great with just a knit shirt or turtleneck. 

I had a pretty good stash of velvets and velor fabrics that I had accumulated, but didn't have any special plans for them. So I made some skirts from them also and Llove the way they turned out. They are very swishy and twirly! 

SO I have a good inventory going for the January show, BUT I am pretty sure there is enough to go around for those who can't make the show! I will be posting the balance of my inventory on Etsy after the show (Aiming for February 1) I will also have a "clearance" section with the t-shirts and some home goods, etc that I have unearthed from seasonal storage. 

I appreciate you hanging in with me, and hop that this will give"one last chance" for those who are looking for more jill2day garments.
