I've been adding a lot of my new items to Etsy.  I know I haven't had much on there recently, but I figure I should keep it more up-to-date (especially with the help of my handsome assistant, hehe!) for the holiday season :)  I plan to keep both it and Facebook more updated with my available pieces going into the New Year, especially since the heart of my show season has come to a close.  Speaking of the New Year, I hope to be vending at many more regional and national events, as well as music festivals, so keep checking back, and keep spreading the word!!  Thank you all for a wonderful 2013!!  2014 is bound to be even better!!!

As most of you know, Vehement Romantic is my only source of income, so this time of year is when I need the most support (and sales!). Therefore I will be loading up with some of my best work to date... Whether you've always been a fan or have never bought anything from me before, I will be sure to have something for everyone for sale this weekend!! It just so happens that my biggest show of the year is happening on the same weekend, so if you can't make it to the RAWards event, then you have a couple more chances to come support me at the 2-day 

 I Made It! for the Holidays 2013.

This gives me 2 more days to sell the tickets I have left. Remember, even if you can't go, it's only $10 to support my business if you like what I do!
