California is the Place You otta to Be

Good morning all,
One of our most talented and favorite vendors (and my daughter) is moving to California. She may or may not be able to send things to the studio in the future so jump on the opportunity to own an original Holly Wick. The pitcher has since sold but there are a few plates and oil painting still available. Very reasonably priced and one of a kind. Happy Palm Sunday and happy, happy week!

Miss Froggy

Good morning all,
Today's blog is about our Project Parties. Pictured is a frog done by a gal at a party and is one of the activities available. Others include pot painting, cloth roses, wind chimes and washer jewelry. Prices vary but all are guaranteed to be fun with FREE popcorn and Kool-aid™, and everyone gets to take their project home! For more information and to book your party, stop in at 923 Michigan Ave. Sheboygan. Thanks and happy, happy week!

It's Official

Good morning all,
It's dark and rainy this morning because last night we (if you live in the 48 states that do) turned our clocks ahead one hour and it's 35 degrees. Two sure signs spring is near and I for one am ready for it!
Thanks to everyone who attended the event yesterday. It was once again very busy and lots of fun! The next event will be April 13, 2013. Visit www.zipperstudio.net for more information and updates.

It has been voted on and decided. The two newest additions to the Arnst Zipper family are Maneque and her side kick pooch Tootie. Since this photo was taken she has changed her clothes and is currently wearing an Uncle Shebs T-shirt and Greenpurse skirt, with accessories from a number of our other vendors. Tootie is wearing his reflective/illuminator jacket. Stop by to see her in person, she is truly a piece of art! Happy, happy week!

P.S. Anyone know the two states that do not participate in the changing of time?

Belt Buckle Bracelets

Good morning all,
It's amazing the things people give you when they find out what you do! A good customer and friend gave me a belt in which the prong was bent to the point of being useless. He thought I might be able to use it for something. My first instinct was to make a purse and use the belt for the handle. For some reason I woke up the next day thinking it would make a cool bracelet. It did and two days later it was sold! I've got a few more in the store along with some beautiful leather and bead bracelets crafted by our very own Mary Munro. Prices range from $5 to $40. Stay tuned and happy, happy week!

One Hot Mama

Good morning all,
I feel at times like the shoemaker. He and his family have the worst shoes in town. I've been in need of new hot pads for about a year and finally took some time to make myself a pair and a few for the store. They match my quilted kitchen towel and best part, no more burnt fingers! $8 for two and towels are $12. No names yet for our new friends, but we'll know by the end of the month. Happy, happy week!

Welcome Doris?

Good morning all,
We want to welcome our new addition to the Arnst Zipper Studio family. While Holly was busy artifying the mannequin her working name has been Doris. We are holding a naming contest for employees and entries are due Monday the 11th. She has also recently acquired a pooch who needs a name as well. Check in next week for updates or stop by the store. As always, we'll keep you posted!
Thanks to the many customers who attended our Greenpurse event yesterday. Very busy and lots of fun! Lisa Averkamp will be our featured artist in March. So stay tuned, updates to follow. Happy, happy week!
