Shamrock Season!

Done making Hearts for Valentine's Day, now on to lots of Tie Dye Shamrock's for St. Patrick's Day! People seem to love them, for themselves and they make great gifts.

It's been tough, lately, squeezing in some late night tie-dyeing time. Funny how you develop your passion into a business, which then leaves little time for the passion that started it all . . . between managing our website http://www.lovelightboutique.com/ , daily business, taxes, shop and yoga studio upkeep, staffing the boutique all day, ordering raw materials and resale merchandise, there is often just too little time to make tie dye. I need to get a couple dozen shamrocks done over the next week or two to be ready. Last year, shirts like the one above, and other styles with shamrocks, and lots of green and green/yellow, green/orange spirals and other patterns, sold like crazy - I make a bunch ahead of time, and I take and make a lot of custom orders, too. I could make one for you!

St. Pat's day is extra tough, because I also play in Mixed Greens - a trio playing traditional, old-timey, Irish, Scottish, and other Celtic flavored music, and we book LOTS of gigs around the holiday, and we practice a lot during the month before. Time gets crunched, but it is a real fun time of year for us, too.  Check us out online, or if you are in the western PA area, stop by the boutique and say Hi!
