Hi folks, vanished again due to a last minute (like, a week in advance) decision to get a vendor booth at C2E2 (Chicago Comics & Entertainment Expo) this weekend (March 18-20). I'm in booth 858, under House of Darkly. I am NOT in the paper guide but I am in the app and on the website. If nothing else, wander around until you feel lots of plastic eyes on you... anyway, please come by and say hi if you're attending. I may be a bit comatose but am otherwise friendly.
I'd really like to post something about the terrible situation in Japan, but I honestly have only a few minutes to spare and no energy and that's hardly the time to say anything meaningful.

The Barrel Magazine...
I was recently contacted by one of the editors asking if they could include me in a section about Etsy shops. They're also doing a blog-based giveaway of a coupon code for my Etsy shop! So something fun for you to check out

Mashable-d, Megacon, upcoming stuff
So things got very very crazy right before Megacon when my 8bit LOVE necklace made Mashable. O_O I was on a supply run to Jacksonville at the time and couldn't believe how fast the orders were coming in! Trying to manage from my phone was difficult; I made more sales than I usually do in a month in less than 48 hours, and the majority were international. I've never been up until 2:30AM just packing orders before! It was total insanity. It was great though, especially the customers who got back to me about how it was their first Etsy order and how their SO got it for Valentine's and loved it. I don't quite understand Mashable but let me say a
Megacon!
I'll be exhibiting at MegaCon, February 17-19th in sunny Orlando, FL! Tentatively my booth number is 841, but I haven't got my packet in the mail to confirm that. It's hard work for me to be an exhibitor as a sole proprietor/operator/designer/slave, so I may not be able to catch up here as much as I'd like.
I'll post about more con plans in the near future, and upload as many teasers as I can nab some spare time to do. If there's something you see here that's for Megacon and you can't go, let me know and I can try to set one aside for you. I've been updating a bit quicker at houseofdarkly.tumblr.com, if you're willing to put up with some obs
Etsy updates, Tumblr and pears
Sorry for not being around... again! NYCC was insane (but great!), and things have just been non-stop since then. @_@; I do a lot of work at 12-2AM now. =_=; So that's when I'll try to be on dA again tonight... ahahah. I also had my 30th birthday argh! D: last week, but I didn't do anything at all for it so... I'm going to pretend that didn't happen, ooookay....?
BUT you can check out some new stuff on my Etsy store, and I have several other things that I still have to add! I have LOTS of ideas that I want to follow through on. There is also a COUPON CODE for Etsy which has just started for last-minute holiday shoppers: FESTIVE2011 for 10% o
New York Comic Con - Booth #480
News time! I'll be vending at New York Comic Con, October 13-16! With your razor-sharp minds, you have probably sussed out that it's in NYC, but check their site for more info. I'll be in the "Anime Pavilion", so I'm technically a vendor for NYAF as well. That's two! TWO cons for the price of one! *end infomercial voice*
I've already announced that my first exclusive for the con will be Black & White Cookies; I'll share pics when I have some, and update here on any other exclusives. :)
Let me know if you'll be attending so I can harass you to come say hi :) I may do something special for dA users, I'll update closer to the con. Special bonu
