This week Etsy and South Street Seaport is teaming up to host a series of free Craft Nights at the @Seaport space, in NYC, and they are kicking it off with a sea-themed applique sewing workshop. Read all about it here . If you live far away you can still stop by for a demonstration straight from Craft Night via Etsy's online multi-user chat room, Virtual Labs , for a live online demo at 5PM ET. (Click here to see what time 5PM ET is in your hometown.) Thanks Etsy for featuring my Offbeat Messenger Bag with a seahorse applique among your cool nautical finds in your Storque feature. It seems like perfect timing for my upcoming move to St. Augustine, Florida. I just can't wait to get settled in and start designing my sea-inspired collection!

I just discovered that my Offbeat Messenger with a pair of seahorses made it to Etsy's  front page today! Thanks to Etsy for selecting this treasury and thanks to Kira Ferrer for curating this stunning sea-inspired collection. You must check out Kira Ferrer Designs on Etsy. She creates the most beautiful and unique jewelry. I've had my eye on her shop for a long time. I love her  Sea Anemone Stacking Rings and the matching S ea Anemone Studs . They are on my wish list. Today I also learned that I was featured on Karen Fields lovely blog. Thanks Karen! See the post  here . Karen is a wonderful artist and her one-of-a-kind original paintings are available in her Etsy shop, Karen Fields Gallery . Her work is beautiful and the colors are stunning!
