I tend to be a bit dense about this kind of stuff and I don&#8217;t really get what this is all about, but it looks like a new site geared toward promoting independent web-based art\/craft businesses.

It was fantastic- the artwork, the crowds, the people.  I saw <a href=\"http:\/\/sewingstars.typepad.com\/\">Teresa<\/a> of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sewingstars.com\/\">Sewing Stars<\/a>.  And I actually introduced myself!  I bought one of her fantastic owls-<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"owl\" src=\"https:\/\/mimikirchner.com\/blog\/images\/10:8:owl.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p>and her <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sewingstars.com\/index.php?item=109&#038;ret=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.sewingstars.com%2F%2Findex.php%3Fpage%3D1%26category%3D3\">pattern book<\/a> which I had been meaning to get, but forgot about.  I am very interested in how different people put together patterns.<\/p>\n<p>I was so pleased to finally meet <a href=\"http:\/\/megillustrations.typepad.com\/beetlegrass\/\">Megan<\/a> in person-  I&#8217;ve been online friends for a year or so.  I loved seeing her work too-<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"pillows\" src=\"https:\/\/mimikirchner.com\/blog\/images\/10:8:megan.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"puppets\" src=\"https:\/\/mimikirchner.com\/blog\/images\/10:8:meganpuppets.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I also saw a few other people\/artists I know that I wasn&#8217;t expecting- such a nice surprise.  It was such a perfect day and I hope everyone made tons of money!<\/p>\n<p>When I got home, there was an envelope from Eleanor- this is what she sent me-<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"patch\" src=\"https:\/\/mimikirchner.com\/blog\/images\/10:8:patch.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p>does she have my number or what!  She found it <a href=\"http:\/\/www.microcosmpublishing.com\/?PHPSESSID=48f19bd839ddef3a357e87c7bb0661d6\">here<\/a> at Microcosm Publishing, which she found via <a href=\"http:\/\/beerpoweredbicycle.blogspot.com\/\">Zack&#8217;s blog<\/a>.
