We’ve been enjoying every ounce of summer around here. The slip and slide, waterpark, VBS, and our garden have received the most attention. I’m loving every bit of it. In fact, it was a little strange to flip the calendar to July. I hope time slows down for the last half of summer break!

It’s hard to switch gears sometimes and think about scarves…but I must! Scarf selling season hits pretty fast after school starts.

As mentioned earlier, it has been a busy time of photographing the fall/winter line. I thought you might like a sneak peek.

The scarf designs are created out of reclaimed wool and cashmere sweater knits. Each unique and eclectic scarf is handmade in the beautiful mountains of NC. In order to keep up with demand, I have a few local friends helping me this year with my cutting and sewing. You can find our joint sewing efforts here on my website (as well as in a number of fine boutiques across the US). And if you would like a scarf that came straight from my personal sewing machine, I will list some of those here at EismanDesign.com AND my etsy shop will be devoted to items that I’ve personally sewn. Basically every scarf goes through my hands several times but I just like to clarify so that you understand I have a number of people helping me sew this year.

Edited to add: Etsy has redefined its terms of service and allows you to have help as long as your business and product stays within your direct control and the handmade spirit of etsy. So you’ll find our joint efforts in my etsy shop as well now!

The goal is to have the first round available to purchase in our online stores (here and Etsy) by August 1st. The scarves were a hit last year for Christmas gifts so if you’d like to get an early start on your Christmas buying check back in a couple weeks.

Hoping we don’t sell out quite as fast this year! We are working like little elves.
