Happy New Year!

Happy New Year, friends!
It's going to be a year full of all kinds of changes and fun. We want to thank you for sticking around with us! We're on a tiny hiatus right now, as the holidays are over and we don't have any shows in the immediate future. You can find us on Etsy, www.thebirdsofafeather.etsy.com, or you can find us in Lawrenceville snuggled under blankets on our couches. Sighing comfortably.
Happy, happy new year! We hope your year is relaxing, full of new things and exciting!

We're working on Etsy!

It's a big day around this joint! We're wokring on setting up our Etsy account. Please, go check it out. Our address is thebirdsofafeather.etsy.com.
WHAT!?! We only have a few things on there?! Oh, we know. We're working on it. With things in flux from show to show we don't want to post items that may sell! No fair, we think.
Here's what is UP!

Magnets!

Did we tell you we are making magnets!!!?

It's December

Thank you everyone for joining us at Renegade in Chicago last weekend! Thank you to Kaye for taking care of our booth! I hope we made some new friends and I so wish I we could have been there!



Right now, with Holiday season in full blast (even though it hardly seems like it to me, with 50degree weather...) things are busy, busy, busy.



I'm working right now to get our Etsy account fully set up to accomodate buyers. I would like to request a few more hours of daylight in the day! Also, we are working on more holiday ornaments which turned out to be a delightfully surprising big seller.



Oh, I just wanted to let you know that our final holiday sale is on December 18th downtown. Please come visit or contact us with any special orders.

What's going on here?

Hello!
Long time, no see. Fall is our busiest season. Professionally and personally I'd say! School's started again, everything is busier... Parties, events, tours, shows... Although, I feel like every season is pretty busy these days.
Anyway, this weekend on the 11th from noon till five p.m. we will be a part of Lawrenceville Artist's Studio Tour! Click a the link for a copy of the map! (I just can't figure out how to make an Adobe document appear as an image on our blog...) We will be at the Blackbird Studios, which is right on Butler Street, just a few blocks down from our old studio!
The next blog will be the story of what is going on with our studio space and images from our last show there. The last show was the biggest success we've had in the space, which is slightly bittersweet!
Don't forget to join us this weekend. It should be a great time and fall is the most beautiful season around Pittsburgh! So get out and about and visit us and Lawrenceville's other great artists and their spaces!
love,katie & emily

ps, a visual reminder...

Maybe Tuesday Will Be Better (FRIDAY WILL!)

Happy Monday, reader. It seems like this is the kind of day where you get up, go to work, acknowledge you've been awake for 12 hours, and go back to bed. Well, that's what's happening with The Birds.
We thought we'd leave you with some more images that you can look forward to seeing in person on Friday!
Don't forget!
love,katie&emily

sigh. i can't wait to see you friday!

Animal, vegetable, mineral

I wanted to post images of our pins and earrings with animals on them... And a few robots slipped in.
For size reference, our pins and earrings range in size from about 3/8 of an inch to a little over an inch...
Enjoy the animal farm below!

vintage things, of the stacked nature

I painted you a picture....

Hello, friends....
We're so excited for this coming weekend. This is the time of year where things are getting really busy. Besides everyone we know having a birthday party, it's also the time of year where there are shows going on all the time. This weekend we will be at our studio, from 7-11 in Lawrenceville. The following images are of paintings and drawings done on wood....
We just want to offer up a sample of what you'll be seeing this weekend!
We hope you'll drop by for some cookies and milk and friends.
We'll be there.

Our last show at our ol' studio

THE PICKET FENCE!

One of our big things that have been in the works have, well, worked out!!! We have some excellent news for you, reader.

Our work will be for purchase at The Picket Fence in Shadyside, on Walnut Street!

Stop in and check it out. It is an adorable little store, and there is another in Oakmont!

That's today's news... For now!

Upcoming shows...

Hello, there.

Well, here's what's up...

Emily started a new banner for our shows with our name on it, and I am finishing it up.


We have SO MANY things coming up and in the works right now.



The most important (by most important, I mean, at our studio) is a show on September 12th, which is a Friday. It will not only be our work, will be showing the work of Angela Juliussen and Erin Shaw! Angela makes gorgeous pottery and Erin is an awesome printer. And they both are just lovely ladies as well. A flyer will be appearing very, very soon!

Until then...

Where have we been?

We've been busy! It's summer... Picnics, friends, fun...

But we've also been creating new pieces. We've been working on new painted pieces, cards, more stacked buttons and, of course, new earrings and pins. We've happened upon lots of vintage buttons, which have kept us busy for some time now.

Something that we are planning in the future is:

We'll be showing our work at the Blackbird Studios, which is at 3583 Butler Street. It is a great space, and very close to our studio. It runs from noon to 5pm on October 11. We SO hope you can join us.

I will be posting more information about an upcoming show we are having at our studio very shortly. Maybe even after I finish this apple!

We can't wait to see you,

katie & emily
