Hello, It’s September
Coming Soon to Mireio: Vintage Textile Pendants and Hand-knotted beaded necklaces
Hello September! It’s been awhile and I’m hoping now that the fall is rushing toward us, I’ll be hanging around Mireio a bit more! I’ve been busy moving (paint, paint, paint) my studio and prepping the second installment of the fall shop update. Coming soon to Mirieio: cashmere and wool pillows, lovely new necklaces, and a few more surprises. Plus, The Best of Etsy will be coming back with great new picks. And I even have a tutorial or two planned.
So, welcome to September. I hope you’ll come hang out with me, too!
Hard at Work
Scrap Attack! Or is it art?
I’m hard at work in the studio! My head is down and I’m sewing. I’m slowly adding items to the preview page, so make sure you check it out! And don’t forget that Thursday is the start of Mireio’s big SALE!
And if you’re interested, I’ve been photo-journaling my summer over on Evidently. Come see what I’ve been up to when I’m not in the studio!

A Sweet Surprise!
A sweet surprise! Sunshine in my mail.
I was a bit absent from Mireio last week. It was my 40th birthday and I spent the week hanging out with my little family and soaking in all the love coming my way. But I’m back and I excited to start working and blogging about all the Spring in store for Mireio.
I’ll start by sharing these fabulous earrings that arrived in the mail last week. (And I’ll just add, what a way to celebrate your 40th birthday!) My lovely friend, Kerri, sent me these handcrafted bits of Spring. I so admire Kerri’s work and have been meaning to buy something for ages. But, I’ll confess, I have a hard time buying for myself. Do you have that problem too? I’m happy to indulge friends and family, but splurging on me is much, much harder to do!
So, you can imagine my delight to receive these stunning earrings, so beautifully wrapped, and a birthday note wishing me all the best at I enter this next decade. Such a thoughtful, generous, and lovely gesture—just like Kerri!
Thank you, thank you dear friend!
You can find more of Kerri’s work in her Etsy store Ten Things. Go treat yourself!
