Sorry I've been MIA

Hi friends. I've been completely MIA for a while now. I have some good news though!
I was contacted by Adam from the Marketing Team on Etsy last week. He asked me to send out one of my vintage clutches to InStyle Magazine in New York (with their fedex account)!! He said the Today Show was doing a segment on jewelery and accessories on Etsy... and my clutch could potentially be featured! Anyway, I was pretty much having a heart-attack all weekend (haha, not literally) because I was so excited. We woke up super early this morning to watch it. Unfortunately my vintage clutch wasn't chosen (they only talked about jewelery, no bags) but the girl from InStyle name dropped Etsy TWICE! Go Etsy!

Anyway, I totally apologize for not being a good blogger friend. Basically, I've been working or spending time with Nate. We haven't even been doing anything besides walking around aimlessly at the mall, knitting, going out to eat, movies, bowling, or hanging out with our friends way too late. Other than that, things are going great and I'm still loving Chicago. I'm not liking my job too much but I think I'll hate every job I have until I'm working for myself. I wish I could sew everyday... and I probably could, but I need money for college in January.

Well, I hope everyone had a great weekend and a good start to this week! I promise I'll start posting more often. :)
