Two shops in Piedmont! They have my caps. happy happy

Happy Halloween Eve,
It is almost Halloween and I am glad for it.  Halloween is one of my favorite holidays, and it just seems to get better every year.  Here in Alameda we take it pretty seriously.  It seems that every block has a giant spider infestation, and the island has become a graveyard.


My caps are now at Montano Velo on Piedmont Ave.  Jason (the very cool man in charge) bought over a dozen of my super soft cashmere and wool caps (in black and navy).  My largest cap order yet.  He was so nice, and said thank you for the caps and everything.  Just a class act that guy.

Here is a pic of his shop:

The second shop that has my caps is SewImages also on Piedmont Ave.  I was a bit concerned about having my caps in two shops so close, but no one else was.  Here is a picture of Cecilia's shop:

  It is a great place that specializes in sewing machines, embroidery machines, and surgers.   They even do repairs.  They have a new section set up for consignment items.  That is where I come in.  I had my caps in my basket and they asked to look at them.  Right a way they were hooked, and I could not have found nicer folks.  Next week they are going to stock my earrings too.  Yippiee.

It has been a busy week, and now a fun (and busy) weekend.
See you on the flip side,
Mary

Alameda Bicycle Sheila Moon Fashion Show and W.O.W. event WAS Wonderful!!!!!!

I got to meet Sheila Moon.  She was so nice and fun to talk to.   Her dog is named Luna too.   How cool is that.
The event was super fun and I got some light up handle bar thingies for my MB-6.  Yippy! I love light up stuff.
Yours,
Mary

Alameda Bicycle Sheila Moon Fashion Show and W.O.W. event

Good Early Morning,
Today - well tonight at Alameda Bicycle there will be a super fun event.  The Women on Wheels  cycling group is having the end of the season bash.  It is a party and fashion show featureing the 2010 collection of Sheila Moon Cycling Clothing.  Joie is the host so you know  this party is going to kick it.

Here is a picture of Joie -- in the cap I made.

Last year this party was great, I have to work so I can't make it -- so you should!  Actually, I am going to bike as fast as I can across town just to say Hi before everyone leaves.  Maybe I will see you then.

This year she has added door prizes and other nifty cool things.   Tomorrow I will drop off two caps for the raffle.  Yup -- two caps.

Here pics of the caps in question:

Everyone who attends gets a ticket and A. B. will just pass out the goodies until they are all gone.   Get there early and say that I sent ya.  :)  I'll be there as fast as I can pedal from Webster St.

Yours,
Mary

Hi All,
I should be making caps, but I am not.  For some reason I am super tired.  Tomorrow is another day.  In the mean time here is a link to a cool blog I found:

velo vogue

I hope you like it.  They post photos of fancy folks riding around in The City (San Francisco).  Maybe one day there will be a pic with a fancy bike rider with one of my caps on!   A girl can dream can't she.  :)
Yours,
Mary
PS I was at the 40 year anniversary party for Alameda Bicycle and three (yup, you count them three) people were wearing alloneword caps!  I am still so happy about it.
