Birdie is now open!

Everyone should check out the newest addition to Campus Corner. Birdie, the venture of Katie and Tyler Huskerson opened for business on Saturday. The store is amazing, everything in it...plants, clothing, artwork, knits, candles and much more!

It is so fun to see a friend's dream come to be. Check out the interview that pretty lady Erica Smith did with Katie.

Not only has Katie created a truly unique place to shop but Katie has done an amazing job of keeping things local and bringing her friends in to be a part of it.

Tim and Sethy have created some awesome Crimson and Cream Oklahoma shirts. Not to mention the creation of Katie's adorable logo. Lana Williams' beautiful paintings adorn the walls. . Feather by Feather provided many super cool headbands. Birdie showcases the photography of Sam Lamb beautifully. Plus a very handsome boy made the jewelry stands...





and to give you a little glimpse of Pistachio...







Go visit Birdie @ 566 Buchanan Street!

...and while you are down there you might as well stop in and say hi to Reese at The Wild Hare Beadery where you can purchase ready-to-gift necklaces or create one-of-kind pieces of jewelry! If you pop into both these stores i can assure you - you won't be disappointed with your trip to Campus Corner!

long over due...

Dustbowl. This is post is long overdue but for the longest time i couldn't find the cord to upload this pics but it is found so here we are.

The whole day was absolutely amazing - from waking up at 5:30 in the morning to chasing down cars half asleep that were moving street barricades. Thank you to everyone who helped, who gave their time in setting-up, playing music, selling beautiful things and tearing-down.

Dustbowl was truly an experience I will never forget. I learned a lot. Like sleep more than 11 hours in a 72 hour time period, this will allow you to enjoy life more. Cherish your friends and family, they were instrumental in making Dustbowl a reality. Work hard, the pay off is worth it. Don't stress (too much), it will work out in the end.

The entire day was full of wonderful people browsing booths, making purchases, looking at art, meeting new people, listening to music and having fun. yay. can't wait until the next one!



Margaret & Angela - makers of beautiful things. mini paintings, children's alphabet blocks, amazing prints...



Jacob & Clinton - Jacob was one of the musical stars of dustbowl. Clinton, photographer of heaven, actually shared a booth with his friend Adam the painter.



Nathan Price - awesome artist. knows how to use a paint brush.



Sethy & Tim (not pictured). creators of crazy cool screen prints. if you need anything graphics they're your guys.



Katie - collaborator in making Dustbowl real. makes amazing dresses, skirts, headbands, belts and does beautiful floral design. about to open her very own store: Birdie, flower shop, sustainable housewares and clothing. Make sure and watch for it opening on Campus Corner at the end of October.



Reese - collaborator of Dustbowl, creator of Tallgrass, owner of The Wild Hare. awesome guy. (Happy Birthday Reesy!!) makes beautiful things. has turned the beadery into a vision. go visit him and make something cool!



Last but not least - Pistachio. My very own little booth full of lovely jewelry, headbands, clutches, vintage finds (thanks to jolove!) and we can't forget the pi"stach"ios and cool chalk boards.

More Pistachio at Dustbowl pics to come!!!

Pistachio

I have been working pretty hard on Dustbowl to make sure it is complete and utter awesomeness.



I thought I should take a second to make everyone aware of what I will be doing at said event. Pistachio is my (I would like to say future...but it seems that the future is here...so i will say newest) endeavor. It is a mix of jewelry, accessories and event design.



Jewelry and accessories are definitely a mixture of inspirations. Raw materials counter balanced by something unexpected, usually a touch of something feminine.

Events are something that I love. I think my desire and love for doing event design stems from my appreciation for beautiful things and my strong belief that something can still be functional and be full of design elements at the same time.
