Although things have been quiet on the blog front here, I've been cooking up a few upcoming events! I'm very excited to announce that Nibby Co. will be attending both the PCBA: Book Arts & Printers Fair and Capsule/Union Design Festival!

MAY 15 > PCBA: Book Arts & Printers Fair
@Fort Mason Center

MAY 23 > Capsule/Union Design Festival
@Hayes Valley (along Octavia, between Grove & Fell)

Hope to see you all there! They're both going to be exciting events with loads of talented artists and crafters. And hopefully the weather will behave!

New Work: B-I-N-G-O.

My mother is turning sixty this year, and we're throwing her a big party in Oroville, my hometown. My mom is so many things: a teacher, a quilter, a guitarist, hilarious. At first it was a lot of pressure, I mean how do I distill the essence of my mother and the way I feel about her in one little invitation? Once I calmed down, I decided to have a little fun with it.

My intention was to create a quilted look with the background pattern, and added just a hint of yellow and a lot of transparent white. On the backside of the invite, I mounted a page of family photos, which was different on each invite. Included in the invitation suite is a little "Practice Test" with trivia questions that will come in handy for a game at the party.

My sister and I had such a delightful time coming up with the questions—it's moments like these that I'm so grateful to be in this field. I'm so happy that I could do this for my mommy dearest. Love you!

Breathtaking.

Check out these gorgeous floral arrangements created by Paxton Gate, one of my favorite stores in San Francisco.


I love the palette and the textures! Paxton Gate is my retail soul-mate (next to Anthro of course), everything there is exactly my taste. I was there recently and considered buying an air plant. My Venus Fly-Trap idea failed miserably, but perhaps air plants aren't quite as picky.

We're Still Here!

Sorry for the massive delay in updates, Nibby Co. has just undergone a huge move and we're still getting our act together. Thanks for your patience, and stay tuned!
