Little Bits of Little Winter

Tuesday, November 9, 2010



My husband and I packed our bags and left Saturday morning, excited for a much needed getaway.  Off to stay at the trendy Ace Hotel and shop my first blogger sponsored event, Little Winter.  It was nice to put real faces to some of the blogs that I read and see all their handmade wares in person.  The beds in the hotel were a little firm for my taste, but the Little Winter handmade market was well worth it.  You might want to see for yourself...


I came away with few goodies for myself, ( Flora & Fauna 2011 Calendar from Mossiere, a pair of gold raindrop hoops by Favor Jewelry, a couple of cards from abby try again, and a feather kitchen linen by Herriott Grace) and my husband loved the Stumptown Coffee Roasters and the best Lebanese food ever at Nicholas Restaurant. Thank you Abby for the recommendation, and thank you Abby and Chelsea for hosting this beautiful shopping experience filled with so many creative artists and bloggers.

Sounds like such a great time Melissa. I had seen adverts for this event around too and thought it looked good. Lovely to have a break away from home too.
