recent happenings @ yomono

wow, what an incredible couple of weeks here at yomono! i'm just finishing up pin show prep, and i've already got some exciting new developments to announce. next month is going to be inundated with tasty yomono goodness. during march, i'm going to be the artist of the month at ARTisART Consignments! so come by for more gloves, bags, and fresh indie handmade style.

then, on march 22nd join me for Fashion CITED: A Style Event. this fashion show benefits the Legal Hospice of Texas, who do some amazing work for low-income individuals diagnosed with terminal illnesses. tickets are $50 and go to a great cause. there is a link to buy on the Fashion Cited website.

so if you thirst for more yomono, then the next 6 weeks are going to be sweet like honey. (or agave, for those of us who don't eat animal products.)

what's that? you demand a sneak peak? well, ok...but shhhhhh! it's a secret!

donating to #occupydallas

in an effort to support the protesters at city hall park, i will be donating 20% of profits made during the indie bazaar this weekend to occupy dallas. they are willing to sacrifice their time, health, and face the possibility of arrest for speaking up on our behalf. they are our voice, and we need to stand by them.

so please join us at indiegenius in bishop arts this weekend! not only will you be supporting local businesses run by real people (not a board of shareholders concerned only with quarterly profits), but also know that 20% of profits from yomono will go DIRECTLY to occupydallas.org.

to donate directly, offer your services, or participate in the protest, follow occupy dallas on facebook. or visit occupydallas.org. they need a slew of services and items (listed on their website), so if you are in the area and can drop anything off, they would vastly appreciate it.

shop local. question authority. we are the 99%.
