one year anniversary

This weekends events at SparkCon will mark the 1yr anniversary of the *chalkboard necklace*!!!  Thats right, I introduced it at last years SparkCon here in down town Raleigh NC.  What started as a fun experiment and kind of a quirky play on SparkCons street chalk drawing event actually turned into something.  Little did I know what would come of these little bits of personalized jewelry, but it's been a great year for them!  They will be making a return appearance this year at bazaarSPARK.

Come join all the festivities and check out Haden Designs at bazaarSPARK.
Saturday Sept 17th 10-6pm
Sunday Sept 18th 11-4pm
The bazaar will be right in the thick of it on Fayetteville st and Davies st, here in downtown Raleigh.

Hope to see you there!

Choo Choo...

Im on my way to Chattanooga this weekend with my friend Oami of Judah Ross for the Chatty Crafty event! Cant wait!!! I have been busy coming up with new designs to reveal at the show. Here's a glimpse...This is repurposed leather that has been block printed and screen printed. These necklaces are perfect for summer-nice and light weight.

Ill be posting to Etsy shop next week when Im back so stay tuned!

This weekend is my first experience with being a vendor at Raleigh Wide Open. It is an ALL day event with fire works to finish it off! Ill be there selling some new wears from Haden Designs. Hope to see you there...if you should happen to stop by one of the many artisan food vendors and would like to pick something up to share-Lets just say I wouldn't be opposed to it! Cant wait to see what Saturdays festivities will be like.
