shop updates!

happy friday!
time for a few shop updates.
1) did you know i have a new addition to my team?

oh, yeah. it's my sis.
don't know why we didn't think of this sooner!!!! but, as little allora handmade has grown, i have been needing a right hand man (woman) to help out with customer service, ads, etc. mique offered to help and i am so grateful! so, if you have a question or need to contact us ... be nice! chances are it's my amazing sis answering you! what a lifesaver...
2) you might notice the shop is looking a little emptier than normal. i am excited to announce that i am in the process to switch over all of my fabrics to kona cotton! i already have several colors in kona, but i finally made the jump to go all kona and i'm so excited. it is just yummmmy. but, with that comes a little transition period, so bare with me!

i've been drooling over this sample card for weeks, and i just can't wait to get everything in stock. be on the look out for some heart-pounding new spring colors too! oh, i can't wait to show you!!
POST EDIT: i am not getting ALL of those colors. just so you know. that would be crazy. I will have 14 colors in stock. ok. that's all. {you may proceeeeed.}

3) it's that time again: the queen bee market is back! we are now accepting applications for our spring show on may 6th and 7th! want to get excited about it? check out this beauty:

doesn't that make you wish it was may already? LOVE IT. (yes, my sis put it all together. she's amazing, i already told you that, right?) if you are interested in applying, please do! right here. our november show brought vendors from all over southern california, northern california, arizona, and nevada. don't be shy! san diego is REALLY nice in may ;)

4) did you get allora handmade for valentines day? don't forget to email a picture with your new items to be added to our customer love page... and i'll send you a discount code for 15% off your next purchase!
