Marketing in a Recession

 

My father sent me this recently and I had to share it. 

Happy Monday!

Poetikat’s New Book of Poems

Finally!  Poetry that’s accessible, fun, clever and real. 

Many of my followers are also followers and friends of Poetikat’s Invisible Keepsakes. Kat has published a book of poetry titled Shadowstalking, and it’s now available to the public. 

Here’s what Kat says about  her book:

“My poetry is written for both catharsis (on my part) and entertainment (on yours). There's something for everyone in this collection—a bit of nature, a bit of memoir, some classical forms of poetry, and some more freestyle pieces.

I write with humour generally, but sometimes sadness can creep in too. This book should appeal in some way to anyone who picks it up.”

I just ordered my copy and I can’t wait to receive it.  If you know Kat’s poetry from her blog, you know her writing is authentic and honest and leaves you feeling good.  

I invite you to visit her website or blog to check it out.

Recycled Tee Shirt Skirt, Custom Made for a Blue Kimono Reader!

I made this skirt for one of my lovely Canadian readers.  It’s a custom knee skirt made from my original design.  Thank you, dear bloggie friend!

I used pieces from nine or ten different cotton knit garments for this original design.  The waistband is made from a pair of Tommy Hilfiger sweat pants. 

Everything is post-consumer, recycled material that I’ve cleaned to within an inch of its life and put together carefully on my thirty-year-old sewing machine. 

 

I made another skirt very much like this—same colors and styling—for a second customer who liked it and ordered on it her size.

Happy Week!
