I posted this over at Climbinginskirts…
Today I braved the heat and left my sewing cave (I was actually working on a few things for myself). Why? Because my peeps at Cypress Vanguard were having a relaunch party“ in honor of all the new artists moving into the space. I hang out at Cypress a few times a month to catch up with“ a few friends and window shop. This time I did a ton of networking, saw a great band called Sleep Talk, and managed to win the raffle.
For those of you who haven’t been to Cypress, it is a cooperative boutique. Many of the artists use the space to create while they put in their time running the place. One day when I quit my day job, I hope to work here. In the meantime I plan on interning with Ms. Summerville (learning how to make lacy underthings), and convincing Anslee that she can make pants.
What was in that gift bag? (this was a serious pile of loot). Hopefully I didn’t leave anyone out.
