hbDesigns Available @ The Design Collective

And what's this?! hbDesigns can now also be found at the Design Collective in Mpls (26th & Hennepin)!!! There are all kinds of earrings, some necklaces, plushies, like Larry the Octopus and my 'Staches on a Stick!

Also new for hbDesigns are my 'Shop Local MN' Earrings and State of MN plushies!!!



I've also been trying to sell my wears at the Owatonna Farmers Market. I haven't been very successful, but any kind of exposure helps.


My friend Jen also gave me 2 large bags of FELT!!! I'm so excited to start some large scale projects after I stock up on some 'Staches on a Stick. There are some awesome colors and I'm excited to use all of it!

Facebook


Hey everyone, I didn't know if you were aware of this or not, but hbDesigns has it's own page on Facebook. I try to keep up with it and check in daily versus the random post I do here on my blog. And with all the new excitement about selling my stuff in shops it a great way to stay informed. I hope you check it out and hopefully 'LIKE' it as well. Hehe.
