Boutique Bound!

I was just realizing that I failed to mention the newest place you can find Nuala Clothing and Accessories: Modo Boutique.  I loved the layout of the store and was drawn to the array of the colors displayed. They have swoon worthy clothes that will keep me coming back again and again! The whole store is lovely and striking!

The newest addition to their selection? Necklaces by Nuala Clothing and Accessories! Several unseen pieces are now available exclusively at Modo Boutique!

Please stop by their wonderful store and take a peak at some of the newest pieces in my necklace collection!

Super Rad PDX!!

Super excited about this next upcoming show. Super Rad PDX at Portland Nursery 9000 SE Division St is THIS Sunday July 17th! There will be 60+ of some of the best local NW crafters and artisans, as well as live music and FREE beer from Hopworks Urban Brewery.

There will be a silent auction benefiting Snowcap.org, a non profit created to provide food, clothing, advocacy and other services to the poor.

I am busy trying to expand my inventory for Sunday. Summer products are coming out at a slow trickle, but I hope to at least have more than 2 hairpins to choose from this weekend! Summer Bracelets are also now available. Brighter colors and lighter yarns to bring the feeling of summer to your outfits! New crop of garlands are now available as well! With many of the originals now being sold at Mag-Big on Hawthorne, I had to make a whole new batch to take on the road with me!

Hope to see you all at this event as it is sure to be a RAD time! I mean free beer? RAD.

Coffee cup sleeves

I love my local coffee shop. They are exceptionally efficient without sacrificing customer service.  Always happy always nice, and the coffee is always good.  One thing that bothers me though is that they put a paper sleeve on every paper coffee cup.

Generally I feel guilty enough already that I did not bring my own mug.  Since coffee for me is generally an unscheduled stop, I am usually unprepared.  I felt extra bad that they were putting a paper sleeve on each disposable cup!  I used to try to ask them not to, but someone further down the line would end up slapping one on.  I would always take it off and leave it on the table, but I felt like it was a battle that I just didn't want to wage for a cup of coffee.

So I decided to make a coffee cup sleeve for myself.  One that I could reuse and take with me every time I went to get coffee.  My glove compartment could now have one reusable sleeve, rather than the floor of the passenger side of my car hosting 20 paper sleeves waiting to make it to the recycling.

It has really been that simple.  I get compliments on them every time I get coffee, and no more paper sleeves!  Coffee shops in my area are picking them up, and they are of course for sale in the Etsy store!

You can find them in the Coffee cup sleeves  section on Etsy, or you can custom order one in any size or color!

They not only look great, but the keep your coffee warm and your hands cool!  All for an awesome price!

Busy busy busy!

I have been crocheting like mad to have new product available for tomorrow's Hip Happening!  More garlands, more necklaces and some new surprises!  I love making new things and expanding Nuala's product line.

These are some of the mandalas for a garland that I will be putting together today.


Not the best picture as it is taken with my cellphone with the pieces on my lap, but they are fairly true to color.  Much cuter in person though.

Hope to see you all at Hip Happening tomorrow!
