Summer of Love

This summer, REDSTAR ink has a lot of exciting things happening. In anticipation of upcoming art fairs and new markets, I have been working on some new merchandise. Here are some new photo albums that I just released...just in time for summer. What are your big summer plans?

Sugar Kisses

A lovely little shop has just opened in the Kensington area of San Diego featuring fabulous women's accessories, gifts, body, and baby products. The Sugar Kiss Boutique features local designers from the San Diego area.

I have had the pleasure of working with the owner of Sugar Kiss, Quincy (pictured above), who aims to "unite amazingly talented people together to form friendships, collaborations, and networking opportunities and feature these designers in a boutique that caters to the handmade, unique, and locally sourced and pair them with national and international lines that compliment the look and feel of the boutique."

Oh, did I mention that REDSTAR ink products are sold here? Another great thing about Quincy's shop is her dedication to finding eco-friendly goods. If you live in the San Diego area, you must cruise by her shop. It is my number one stop whenever I have a gift to buy.

Where the Surf Meets the Turf

 

 

 

I had a lovely time at the Surfrider Art Gala this evening. And Jason Mraz was gracious enough to snap a photo with me...love him!

Surfrider Art Gala

I am fortunate enough to live and work in the beautiful seaside city of San Diego. One of the constant struggles here is protecting the beaches and ocean of southern California. REDSTAR ink is a proud supporter of Surfrider Foundation which is on the forefront of political and environmental issues that threaten our ecosystem.

My husband and I will be attending the 10th Annual Art Gala hosted by Surfrider in Del Mar, California. The evening's program will include an awards ceremony recognizing San Diego County the company that my husband works for, Cali Bamboo for their contributions to environmental issues and Surfrider Foundation.

Proceeds from the ticket sales and auctions fund the chapter and local programs including water quality testing, education outreach, beach cleanups, pollution monitoring and advocacy efforts.

If you have a minute, check out the Surfrider website and see how you can support their efforts.

Queen Bee Market: Recap

On Saturday I participated in the Queen Bee Market, a local art fair with about 40 other vendors. This was my first show and a great learning experience as I prepare for the Renegade Craft Fair in Los Angeles this summer.

The best part about doing these things is meeting new people and networking. There were so many amazing people there.
