When It Rains It Pours...and you get the flu!

I haven't showed this blog any love for the past few weeks but I have a perfectly good explanation...I have been hit with the flu despite that trusty flu shot I subjected myself to. It literally ran its course through my entire family...parents, brother's family, and now me. To make matters worse (or some may say better) I have had orders to complete, requests for more work from two galleries, preparations for my first art fair of the season, and my day job with more than enough to keep one person busy and a bit stressed. Trying to keep up when I really want to be in bed trying to shake this thing has meant lingering feelings of ickiness and constantly feeling tired.

Enough whining! On to the good news...Rural Abandon Jewelry will soon grace the shelves of MoCo Market in Madison, Wisconsin. MoCo is a new take on the old general store catering to the environmentally conscientious customer commuting to work via foot, bike, and public transport. They are now including a spot in their store to feature artisans from Etsy living and working in States within 100 miles of the store. The idea being that the less distance the items need to travel to get to their shelves the less polutants enter the air and natural resources being used. A win win for local crafters and the environment! MoCo looks fabulous so if you are in the Madison area check it out.

Store Location:804 Williamson StreetMadison, Wisconsin
Hours:Monday - Friday (7am - 8pm)Saturday (8am - 5pm) & Sunday (10am - 5pm)
