It's Spring Again...

Spring is back and I'm loving it! The weather is warmer, flowers are blooming, and I'm overflowing with inspiration and creativity! Spring is a time of renewal and transformation...but also CLEANING! Spring Cleaning has given me the motivation to organize my massive bead collection and create some new Spring pieces. Mother of pearl shell and glass pearls are my favorites, so they'll be seen alot in my new designs combined with a variety of other beads in my stash.
Spring has also inspired me to come up with new things I can knit that will transition smoothly into the warmer months. I recently mastered hats, so now I'm knitting cute slouchy hats that can be worn in Spring & Summer. I have lots of hair that can be quite unruly at times, so I love the thought of fun bright colored hats in light-weight cotton yarn or loosely-knit acrylics.

Most of my new Spring jewelry will be available for purchase at Abigail Rose Boutique. You can find their information in my previous post or check them out online at www.abigailroseva.com. Spring hats & other items will be available soon on my website www.eklectikfunk.com.

Abigail Rose Boutique


I am pleased to announce that Eklectik Funk merchandise is now available at Abigial Rose Boutique!

Abigail Rose is an amazing new boutique in Historic Ghent, offering a great selection of clothing and accessories, as well as many accessories designed by local and independent designers. Launched in 2009, Abigail Rose is owned by Kimberly Lloyd and Wendy Foy. The boutique is an interesting "hybrid" bridging the gap between the past and present fashions. The store includes vintage and retro pieces as well as trendy and up-to-date items. They carry a range of sizes from XS-4X. Abigail Rose provides boutique quality products and customer service without the boutique price tag!

Abigail Rose has recently begun hosting Craft Weekends! I was honored to be the first vendor for this awesome event. Craft Weekends feature local crafters & vendors who come together to offer customers a unique shopping experience. This event will be held every 2nd and 4th weekend, monthly. Admission is FREE, but be sure to bring cash because most vendors won't be accepting credit cards :~)
