One of a Kind Show

October 20th, 2009 I'd like to thank everyone who visited Revival Ink at the Vancouver BC One of A Kind Show. I had so much fun, met so many new friends, and really enjoyed my stay in Vancouver. In fact, I enjoyed it so much that I'm going back to Vancouver this weekend, October 24th for the Portobello West market. I'm also very excited to announce that I will be doing the One of a Kind Show in New York December 11th-14th, as well as the Toronto One of A Kind Show March 31st-April 4th. I'm working on lots of new eco-friendly items that are perfect for the Fall-Winter season. So, come visit me at the One of a Kind Shows to enjoy the indie crafts, clothing, jewelry, art, and beauty products that are all made by independent designers.

Seattle Gift Show

August 10th, 2009 Revival Ink is going to be at the Seattle Gift Show August 22nd-25th. I am hoping this will be a good opportunity to discover some new stores in the Seattle area, and meet new people. This will be my first time doing the show, because usually I'm in Las Vegas at POOL TRADE SHOW during this time. Although I will be skipping POOL TRADE SHOW at MAGIC this August, I will be doing it again in February.

For now, I would like to focus more on my presence in the Northwest. I've been having a great time doing all the local festivals, craft shows, and fairs this summer, and I'm working on something big for Revival Ink! In addition to my casual mens and womens line, I have been perfecting 2 very special items for a more fashion-forward, womens dress-wear line. One of these new items will debut at the Seattle Gift Show, and the Boutique Culture show this August. The items are a collaboration between myself and another local designer: Sara from SPUN organic clothing. You will be hearing more about the new dress in our press release that's coming out soon. Here is a sneak peek at the new item, for Revival Ink blog readers only!

Show Your Revival Ink Contest!

August 8th, 2009 I want to see your Revival Ink! My favorite thing about doing events in the Northwest is meeting all of you happy people wearing your Revival Ink clothing around. I would love to have some photos of you, to look at when I'm feeling down because you are the reason why I create. Sometimes when the going gets tough I need reminders of why I started Revival Ink in the first place. Well, you are it! So from now on, every month I am going to give away a Revival Ink item to the customer with the best photo.

You can post your photos on the Revival Ink Facebook Fan Page or the Revival Ink Flicker group page. All you have to do is leave a comment on this post to let me know your photo is up. At the end of every month, I will announce the winner on my blog. If you are the winner, I will contact you to send the free item. To kick off the contest I am putting one of my most popular Dandy Tees up for grabs! Good luck to everyone, I can wait to see your wonderful photos. -Tara
