In the next few months I will be photographing my products in different situations, to be posted on my newly designed home page. If all goes well, my new home page will be up by December - yipppee!
Would you like a cute and sassy apron or tea towel for the kitchen? To get a head start on your holiday shopping? Or maybe you're just looking to spruce up your pad with a few hipster pillows and placemats? Then stop by these shows, where I will be selling my entire collection at discounted prices. I will have limited quantities of the holiday stockings and tote bags, so if you are interested in those, come early! I'm looking forward to both of these shows, and I hope to see you there!
My cocktail tea towels are featured today on www.kitchenhunting.com. If you haven't been to this site you should check it out! They feature all sorts of great kitchen items, such as the tortilla bowl bakers below. Now wouldn't that be nice to have!!
Perfect for giving any mantel a burst of retro holiday cheer, or fill them with goodies for that special holiday gift. All stockings are made from Swizzlestix placemats and are available in four different designs and two different styles — sock and bootie. 100% cotton with interfacing for extra thickness. The stockings will be available for purchase at my online shop at www.1000markets.com or at my etsy store sometime in the fall.
The above stockings are the sock stockings, and the stockings below are the bootie stockings.
Here are a few new bags that were made from my pillows. They feature a zipper top closure and small pockets on the inside walls of the bag. They also have handy flaps on the sides of the bag that can be used for hanging a light jacket when you start to overheat! I only have five of these bags available, and once they are gone, they're gone. The size varies for each, and are approx. 13" x 13". I am working on determining a price, and will sell them on Etsy in the very near future. My seamstress Leah is the creator of these bags, and now that she is moving to Maine (sob!), I have to come up with new concepts. So I am currently developing tote bags made from my Blue Bam Boom and Retro Romp placemats, which will feature zippered pockets on the outside of the bag. After I'm happy with those, I will go back to creating pillow totes.
Hey all you friends out there in ho-ho land, Swizzlestix will be participating in the Mafia Made Holiday Craftacular Saturday, December 13 from 11-5 at the Petaluma Veterans Hall. I will be selling my usual wares, plus a fabulous new selection of tote bags designed by Leah Estell (http://www.lstell.com). Each bag is made out of three Swizzlestix pillows, and features a zipper top closure, lots of pockets and other nifty touches. They sold like hot cakes at the Noe Valley Harvest Festival, so if you are interested, stop by early!!

Whether your zapping tv dinners, cooking gourmet or hosting cocktail soirees, you’ll love wearing these delightful aprons for all your domestic pleasures. Just like the waist aprons, they are made from my tea towels, and feature three pockets in front and two ties in back.
And here are the aprons photographed flat as a pancake
These towels are large, measuring 18" x 27.5". Customers have used them to cover bistro tables, for wrapping gifts with a ribbon tie, and as window treatments. 100% cotton. Machine wash cold, tumble dry low. Iron okay.
Add some cheer to your holiday this year with these festive tea towels!
These aprons are great for wearing in your kitchen, garden, art studio, or anywhere else you fancy! The three large front pockets are useful for storing cooking and grilling utinsels, paintbrushes, crafting supplies, garden tools, or anything else you need for easy access.
These holiday aprons will make crafty gift making, cookie baking and cocktail shaking a joy!
I had a ball photographing my placemats the other day. Sure, it's not even summer, but the holiday vibe is going on strong at our pad!
And for everyday dining, add some retro funkiness to your dining table with these cocktail themed placemats. 13" x19". 100% cotton. Hand wash, lay flat to dry.
