2011 so far...

hello friends!

2011 has arrived

 and i have so many ideas,

dreams, designs and creative

endeavors.

now i just need some motivation...

somehow over the last few months

i have felt slightly overwhelmed

with all of my potential projects.

and, because i am a perfectionist,

i hate working on something and

it not being 'perfect'. 

so instead of working on pieces,

i have not worked

on anything for disregard{en}.

too many ideas/dreams/visions/creations/expectations

and i freeze.

so, in order to get over myself 

(because i am pretty much the only

thing getting in my way at this point),

i am setting goals for myself.

this blog was my main goal for 

disregard{en} in 2010. go me.

but this year, my main goal 

is going to be...

 selling at flea markets!

so, as my friends, i am inviting

you on this second part of my journey.

i have primarily been selling

on etsy (and word-of-mouth). 

but starting next month (eeeek),

i am going to be selling my items

with a few friends (and mr. amazing of course)

at the flea market (details to come).

but, in order to start selling, 

i have a lot to do. 

here is my checklist:

~ update my business cards

~ finish at least 5 more big pieces (seriously?!?)

~ figure out a tent/props for our selling area

~ apply for a resale license

~ figure out how to transport all of my pieces 

~ bake some cookies for the day of 

(because everyone needs a little 

refreshment while shopping, right?!)

those are the main things i need to get done right now.

there will be plenty more as i go.

and, because you are my friends

and i have invited you along,

i thought it might be fun for my wonderful

friends to have an incentive 

to encourage me along? 

(selfish? no. creative? yes.)

so, here is the scoop:

~ if you write me & tell me what 

inspires your creativity, 

i will send you a discount in the mail,

either 10% discount on disregard{en} items

 on etsy (not including shipping) or 1/3 off disregard{en} items 

sold at the flea market 

(seriously. and, don't forget to leave 

your mailing address with your comment.

 or you can email it to me at: offthestreetart@gmail.com 

for those of you outside 

california or in another country,

i will figure out some exciting & special deal.

promise.)

all of the new pieces will be featured

at the flea market. (and, later, on etsy) so stay tuned!

and, i will update you on the location and date

of the flea market as soon as i figure out

details. it will be sometime next month.

hope you are enjoying your wednesday evening

dear friends.
