Oh, man!  It was a crazy fun holiday season...  That should just about sum up why we haven't blogged in a while! 

Just wanted to share a quick little story about one of our items we made in the store...  Sometimes, as an artist, you get this vision to create something and it comes out a little off from what you expected.  And, if you put enough time into this one item, it's just not feasible to rip apart and redo...  and you do think in the back of you head "someone is going to love this!"... 

Well, this awesome, colorful vest was made from circles of felted wool.  We used one of our wool felt pins as a closure.  Fun and funky, right?! 

I'm totally drawing a blank on this lovely lady's name since she visited in December, but she loved the vest!  She was such a fun customer!  She has purchased several purses from us and made them her own by adding pins and buttons and whatever she can think of.  We love when you take our art and add on to it.  It's inspiring for us to be inspiring.  That sounds corny, but it's true!

Well, the vest was no different... She wanted to add her own flair.  The sides were a little low for her, so we gave her some extra circles to change it to suit her!  We pinned the smaller red and green circles so she could take it home and sew it.  I have no doubt she added more pins and sass to the vest and can't wait to see it if she wears it in!

We love making things and when our customers can just add their creative touch to an item, it just makes us feel even better.

Thanks so much for reading and being a fan of Northern Brights.  You really do inspire us to create unique, fun things.
