Crafty Foxes 2017

Crafty Foxes 2017

I just got done with this year's Crafty Foxes boutique. I missed out on doing Eden in San Leandro last week, so it was good to be here this weekend. Thank you to everyone for stopping by! There was another great turnout for this one. I had some extra time to go out to Japantown in San Jose tonight. Of course I had to stop by to visit and deliver an order to the good people at Nikkei Traditions. If you're ever in the area, make sure to check out the shop. You can also enjoy some of the good...

JANM Store

JANM Store

As mentioned in my last post, I had some news to announce. I'm officially selling Hello Sushi in the Museum Store at the Japanese American National Museum in Little Tokyo. It's always exciting for me to get new retailers, but this one seemed extra special given the significance of the museum to the Japanese community. Stop by to shop for hand towels, zip pouches, and note cards.

Yesterday was the annual Kokoro Craft Boutique at the Japanese American National Museum in Little Tokyo. It was also the first of eleven boutiques that I have in the final three months of the year. We've been doing this event for years now and it's always nice to be back. I also have some exciting news about the museum that I'll be announcing in the next week or so.

The House of Rice Store

The House of Rice Store

Back in February, I did my first out-of-state show for the Arizona Matsuri. I'm always looking for new stores and just so happened to have a booth next to The House of Rice Store. I had the opportunity to meet with the owner and discuss the possibility of doing wholesale. Unfortunately, things didn't work out at the time. Fast forward 7 months later and I now have Hello Sushi being sold here. If you're ever in the Scottsdale area, be sure to stop by and check out the shop.

Jan Ken Po Gakko 2017

Jan Ken Po Gakko 2017

What a weekend! Saturday was the Jan Ken Po Gakko Arts & Crafts Fair. I had a conflict with this show last year, but I'm happy I was able to make it this time around. It was great being introduced to an awesome new customer base. I also got to see some familiar faces from my time in Sacramento last year. Thanks again to everyone who shopped with us! And thank you to Jules for helping make this show an easy process for the vendors. I'll definitely be back again next year.
