Teacher Feature: Jessi Sanfilippo

Jessi Sanfilippo is a work-from-home mama of a precocious three-year-old and a not-quite-wife to her aptly named Husfriend. Born in New York and unwillingly transplanted to Arizona, Jess does her best to cultivate creativity at every sweaty turn. When she isn't glued in front of a computer screen making the magical world of social media spin, you can find her creating. She dabbles in everything from the glue gun to the seam ripper to her biggest creative passion, thrifting. She has developed a science, so to speak, to hunting for the greatest treasures at thrift stores and even next to apartment complex dumpsters and is beyond thrilled to share that passion and methodology with everyone at this October's event.

Jessi will be teaching our Treasure Hunting class at hello there! house home & garden event. Learn more about Jessi at her blog shugglippo.com

Sponsor Sunday: A Perfect Memory

Let's hear it for our vinyl sponsor: A Perfect Memory!

A Perfect Memory is dedicated to giving you a selection of products that you won’t find in other online vinyl shops. Since I am a graphic designer I am able to custom design vinyl pieces for your home, car windows and also scrapbook pages and books. Since we have designed these specially for our online store only, you will not find them anywhere else. If you can dream it up- we can design it! And even if you can't dream it up- we can still design it!

Shalin from A Perfect Memory supplied us with some mini vinyl's for our swag bags at our Herb Box Meet 'N' Greet, and we can't wait to see what she has in store for us at the Main Event & Boutique Market!
