The only constant is change

Happy New Year Readers!! (aka Hi mom and dad!)

It has been a busy busy holiday for me! As you saw on my last post, I was excited to cross two things off my bucket list, but luckily for me, the fun didn't stop there!!

For an update for those who don't know yet, my job at Maudlin had a very exciting change!  We moved locations from the spot she has been at for 20 years, to a great space about 5 blocks closer to the water, right in the middle of the La Jolla village on Fay.  In about 48 hours we moved "old Maudlin" to "new Maudlin"... its safe to say Maudlin got a little re-modelin' (that phrase well never get old).  Its also safe to say that when I said "we moved" I really meant Bryan (our Atlanta partner) and Kyle (my friend here) did a lot of heavy lifting while Jennifer and I did a lot of walking around pretending to be busy.  There was a fair amount of runs to Don Carlos (delicious burritos) and Dick's Liquor (for multiple bottles of "celebratory champagne").  The move came at the perfect time, as Jennifer closes up for the 2 weeks of Christmas thru the beginning of the New Year, so I got a much needed two week vacation, but am VERY ready to go back to work tomorrow morning!! 

For those of you who know my deepest darkest dreams of being a paper goods designer/paper shop owner, you will not be surprised to hear that I have also opened an etsy shop! Some little goodies I have come up with can be found and purchased here (shameless plug) www.honestlykates.etsy.com 

I am excited to add more to my shop, and even more excited to already be working on a custom order for a wedding!!! Cards are being made based off some she saw on my site- but altered to match her wedding colors.  As if I couldn't use the word "excited" enough- I am even more (x100)  excited that they will also be sold at Maudlin in both La Jolla and Atlanta.
