FREE STICKERS / NOTEPADS / & PINS • Seattle, this Saturday I'm participating in my first ever Stamp Rally at the Seattle’s Chinatown-International District Night Market!

Saturday • September 26
1-9 PM • around Hing Hay Park
90+ artists • 50+ restaurants

The theme is • Food
Because with many cultures, including Asian ones, food is love.

I will be gifting 3 of my adorable Snack Shop Stickers.

My friend Mandy from Shishido Creative not only organized the stamp rally, but she designed and riso printed the Rally Cards, all of the graphics and handmade and cut that darling white rabbit inspired notepad that she's giving away. She also very kindly shared how it all works too, because I honestly had no idea. ☺️

The rules Mandy wrote are below, JIC you're new to Stamp Rallys too. The map of where you can find me and the other participating artists is in my carousel, and here is the full list of artists. It's a small group which makes it easy to do, with a low price point to make it accessible too.

There are only 25 bags available so stop by earlier if you would like one!

what are the rules?

1. Make a $5+ minimum purchase from each participating artist booth. Be sure to collect a stamp from each booth!

2. When you've collected your final stamp, come by Shishido Creative's booth (B7) for your prize bag!

what do I get?

A cute little bag filled with food themed products from each brand. Prizes include a pin, notepad, print, stickers, valued over $30!

The mornings are bright, warm and feel like summer, the evenings are cool, crisp and the shorter days feel like winter. It means it's that time of year again, for the Night Market!

SEATTLE • Saturday 9/26 • 1-9 pm

What makes this event extra special is that all of the 90+ pop-up businesses and 50+ brick and mortar businesses are all local to the Seattle area. Unlike some of the larger events that are hosted at the Seattle Center, this one is full of more local businesses, it's small, and the prices are so unbelievably reasonable.

You can shop my best sellers in person. And I'll also be participating in my first ever (!!) stamp rally! Hosted by the incredible Shishido Creative, stay tuned for all of the details, the freebies, the booth map and more.

From Seattle’s Chinatown-International District:
🏮Seattle’s Chinatown-International District Night Market returns for its 19th year on Saturday, September 26 from 1pm-9pm. This free, all-ages street festival features 90+ vendors, delicious street food, handmade goods, a mahjong pop up, giveaways and live performances including lion dances, taiko drumming, and martial arts.

🥡 Night Market Food Walk

Explore 50+ brick and mortar CID businesses during the Night Market Food Walk from 1pm-9pm! Pick up a menu at the information booth in Hing Hay Park and plan your route for this self-guided neighborhood tour. Sign up for the digital passport, collect 10 points at businesses, and pick up a limited edition prize! (while supplies last).

It's Tulip bulb planting season! If you're in Zones 3-5 the time is now. And Zones 6-7 will start planting them in mid October.

So let this be your reminder to order your bulbs or to schedule the ~6 week fridge time if you're in zones 8-10. Seattle is now classified as Zone 9a, a warmer zone, which means our planting season is in late October/early November before the ground freezes, or when the soil temperature drops before 60°.

Because our winter temps stay pretty mild in Seattle, we need to refrigerate the bulbs to help them kick start the cold stratification. They need 12-14 weeks of cold wintery temps in order to trigger the spring blooming cycle.

And if you were in Seattle yesterday, you know we're not done with summer yet! 75° and sunny, it was a warm one. 🥵 (Says the girl what was in LA a week ago when it was 103° walking around Old Pasadena like it's no big deal, lol!)

Oh! And this is also me letting you know that I've completely sold out of my Red Tulip earrings. Chicago, you wiped me out last weekend.

But I do have these pretty Lemon Yellow Tulips in my online shop and ready to ship. Hemleva.com and hemleva.etsy.com for international orders 🌷✨

Little ladybugs for luck! 🐞✨ They say that when you see a ladybug it means you'll have good luck! Stop by my booth on the corner of Wolcott and Division Street in Chicago between 11-7 for a little luck today. I have tiny little ladybug earrings and they're the sweetest thing.

We're in line for kasama right now as I post this, and we had Millys Pizza In The Pan for dinner last night, Chicago food scene is remarkable.

My booth is a 7 minute walk from Kasama, so I feel like I'm writing your Sunday plans already. 🥰💗

Check out Renegade Craft for the full 400+ artist line up! And today is significantly cooler than yesterday, so it's basically a dream.

SNOHOMISH • Find all of these florals and so much more at the first ever Snohomish in Bloom event tomorrow from 11-6 PM!

Tavares will be representing my booth from 11-5 tomorrow, so make sure you stop by early to say hello and to see all things HEMLEVA at what I'm sure is going to be a beautiful event.

If you haven't met him yet, Tavares has been working with me for years now. Not only is he my very first (and only) employee, he's also one of the nicest and most caring human beings I've ever met.

Stop by the event for floral workshops,demos and classes. Bring your prettiest Dahlia for the contest (I believe this is open to everyone!), shop the artisan market and enjoy a sweet drizzly day in Snohomish.

Check out Snohomish In Bloom for more details! 🌸🌼🌻🌷

C H I C A G O • Swipe to see two of my favorite snacks in The Windy City!

And if you're in Chicago this weekend, stop by my booth in Wicker Park to see my hat in person! I only have a handful left and they won't be restocked. So buy one while you still can!

Come and see me in Chicago + Snohomish this weekend! ✨

Let's savor one of the last few summer weekends together. I can't tell you how sweet it's been to do events this year. There's been something in the air, the desire for community, for shopping small... It's hard to describe but I'm so grateful for it. I straddle the line of being an extrovert and an introvert, and events like these always fill me up with so much joy.

SNOHOMISH
9/12 • 11-6 PM

Find HEMLEVA in Booth 2, right off of Main Street.

+ This is the very first Snohomish in Bloom Flower Festival!
Check out Snohomish In Bloom for all of the details, workshops, events, contests and more. Tavares will be there representing HEMLEVA until 5 with all of my best sellers. Please stop by to say hello to him if you're able to visit!

CHICAGO

Find HEMLEVA at the intersection of Wolcott and Division! I'm right on a corner at the middle of the fair on the same street as all of the food trucks.

+ This is the flagship event for Renegade Craft and it's my favorite event of the year! With over 400 (!!) artists, makers and small businesses, we take over Division Street for an entire weekend. It's going to be hot and sunny on Saturday and much cooler on Sunday. Please stop by to say hello, and to show me what HEMLEVA things you have! (This is one of my highlights of in person events. 🥰)

Seattle • Today from 11-4 stop by the Maum Market to adopt a Goose! 🪿✨

I will be bringing all of my lil handmade porcelain guys, like these cuties including geese, chickens, pigeons (the last batch I picked up yesterday are So Adorable!) or one of my last two Snow Fairy Birds.

I will also have my rainbow making suncatchers, earrings, pins, and my three ice dye t-shirts!

Magnuson Park Hangar 30

Must RSVP! Admission is free but they're requesting that everyone RSVP to ensure safety at this event. They have also increased security at today's event as well. 💗

Just a couple of seagulls, together, against the world. With a snack and a little egg. 💗

This was a custom request from a very sweet human, for two friends of theirs.

This last batch of seagulls I made are so darling. A few of them have tiny little wings, but every one of them will have a french fry, a little woven nest and an egg.

I'll be bringing seagulls, pigeons and (new) geese (🪿!!!) with me to Maum Market tomorrow in Seattle and next weekend in Chicago with Renegade Craft

"All the months are crude experiments, out of which the perfect September is made." 𝑽𝒊𝒓𝒈𝒊𝒏𝒊𝒂 𝑾𝒐𝒐𝒍𝒇

I can't believe it's already September. The nights are cool, the days are shortening, I'm looking forward to Halloween and Cookie Swaps. But in the meantime...

Thank you so much to 𝔩𝔬𝔰𝔢𝔯 𝔳𝔲𝔦𝔱𝔱𝔬𝔫 for sharing this photo with me!

With her bright splash of rainbows, a cutie kitty hiding in plain sight, and these warm tones vibes, it makes me want to visit the desert again sometime soon.
