It's 6AM, do you know where your muchacha is?

Don't know about yours, but ours is sewing. Yes it's true, nothing sacred anymore here at muchacha K's Speakeasy, not even sleep, haha!

Mmm, beads...

Just another tasty sample, picked by hand like pebbles from a beach, from Diane Terragni, our featured artist for this week's trunk show (Friday, April 4, 3-8 here at the shop)...

Jewelry Trunk Show, this Friday!

Yes, indeedy, it's almost time for our FIRST Speakeasy event, our Trunk Show featuring Diane Terragni's chunky, colorful, fun jewelry.

This Friday, April 4, 2008 from 3-8pm, free to everyone, delicious refreshments will be served and a cozy, stylish time had by all.

Plus--it's important to support local hand-crafters, artisans and fine artists! It's a great way to feed our local economy--and nurture the arts that feed our souls.

Scarves...not just for Winter

Sometimes it's nice to have a little something to wrap around the neck on a chilly Spring morning. That's where Little Lucy Spring-weight scarves come in. Knitted right here in Concord, NH, from super-fun yarns in fantastic colors, by local knitter Jillian Brown...here's one now:



They'll be here next week, in time for the Trunk Show (April 4th!)...

OWL TOTES!

Boston-area artist Chris Masci is creating a new line of reusable grocery totes featuring his designs! What do you think?



These two are here at the Speakeasy...come and get them while you can :)

Fresh off the sewing machine...

...one of the coolest things about having a "house brand" at your boutique is that new creations are coming off of the sewing machine all the time. It's not just any boutique that has a handbag sewing studio attached...this here is a custom order hot off the presses.

But a new beach tote found its way to the shop front today too, and stacks of them are cued up for stitching!

If you stop by the shop, ask to see the studio, we love visitors. If you hear the humming of a sewing machine, someone's busy at work...

Could this be prettier?

Gorgeous lavender lozenge necklace with black/deep purple accent--created by Malori Anderson of Anderstall Artworks, Bow, NH. This lovely necklace is currently at home here at the Speakeasy Boutique. Luscious. I fall instantly in love with jewelry that looks delicious and these beads make me think of pastilles (can you tell I haven't had dinner yet today?). The kind my mother used to stuff in my Christmas stocking. Creamy sweet disks of goodness.

But wait, the point here is the jewelry.

Off to the kitchen--time for a pork chop.

Getting the Word Out!

Our first open day is Friday (3-6PM), which of course means my biggest job right now (besides receiving AMAZING handmade goods from the participating artists) is getting the word out. This here is the Speakeasy Boutique flier currently making its way about town.

I also just got word that our first bite from the press is coming in for a landing... Can't say what yet...but it's a comin'!

If you like what you see, and you're in New England, FORWARD this blog and flier to your people...and your people's people...
