Renegade was a big success, thanks to Jennifer (Mary Jane's daughter-in-law) and Lilly (MJ's granddaughter) and their friends. Jen put together an awesome booth and the ladies even passed out cookies at the booth (we are TOTALLY stealing that idea if we get into No Coast this year!).

Now that we're back, Mary Jane is focused on making tons of fantastic new aprons so you will all have lots to choose from for holiday gifts this year. I've restocked the Etsy shop with tons of goodies -- including aprons made from some of the fabric we picked up in Italy. We already sold one of the Italian beauties and got the following lovely note from Cathleen in Illinois:

"I loved my other apron so much, I need to add another!! Your aprons are creative, fun, and beautiful.  I love that this material comes from Italy...also one of my favorite places to visit.  Thanks for the lovely work!"

So, check out the store and stock up on aprons. If you're in Minneapolis, you can also see our wares at the Weisman Art Museum Store.

Ciao!

We received this nice note from Mary in Baltimore:

"I loooooooooove my aprons!  You have to make more poka-dot ones.  I love the Soda Pop and Necco Wafer patterns!  They are fun to wear, light weight, and have pockets.  All my requirements! Thank-you, Mary Jane. They are beautiful..."

We love happy customers!

(Oh, and Meghan finally got all the new aprons posted on Etsy. Check 'em out!)

Happy customer Suzie sent us these awesome photos of her modeling one of the four (yes, FOUR!) aprons she's bought from us.

She had such nice things to say about us, we wanted to share them:

"I know you told me they are to be worn but I love them both and I don't know how I can bring myself to get them dirty!"

"I'm so happy to be able to buy these lovely aprons. Nobody does work like this anymore. Apart from the fact they are so beautifully made and designed, it gives me great pleasure to have made contact with an artist on the other side of the world too."

Suzie is a folk singer near Melbourne, Australia. Check her out on MySpace.

We're so glad she found us on Etsy!
