Yes Folks!📣📣

The Ultimate Unsponge can now be found on the shelves at Ben Franklin Crafts and Framing!

I am so humbled and full of gratitude for Sara and Josh inviting me to offer my products to our greater community and visitors!

Folks who have been missing me at The Nevada City Farmers Market the last couple weeks should head on down-theyve got the latest patterns for Fall!🍁

You know, its not too early to start thinking of those Stocking Stuffers, and they make great Sustainable Gifts!
