Dress for Success Seattle Designer Treasure Sale – October 12 + 13, 2017

Dress for Success is having their annual Designer Treasure sale this week! Recently I had a chance to volunteer for Dress for Success Seattle in preparation for their epic event and can personally attest that there are phenomenal finds to be found, you will not be disappointed!

In addition to taking home terrific one of a kind finds at the sale, you’ll also be supporting a terrific cause. Dress for Success is all about helping women get back on their feet and start from scratch again. Women who have fallen on hard times can go to Dress for Success and receive a consultation with a style professional and get a new outfit for a job interview. Sales are their primary source of revenue so when you shop the sale, you support women in need in the local community.

You can be first in line at the pre sale on Thursday, October 12 for $25, or go to the public sale with no entry fee on Friday. Get your tickets here. See you there!

  2. Pointed Pen Calligraphy on 9/26
  3. Our monthly Meetup on 9/28
  4. Hand Lettering and Design on 10/10 + 10/17 (2 part mini-series)
  5. Watercolor Lettering on 10/24.

When you register here you can save with coupon code SARAHENJOY (*Note the new code) to enjoy 25% off. See you in class!

And the #larkletteringchallenge winner is…

During the month of August we hosted a 30-day lettering challenge and lettered our way through the alphabet together. We loved the engagement it brought and are overdue on drawing one lucky winner.

@lbarstad79, you win a copy of Jessica Hische’s amazing book, In Progress — congrats Lily! She literally did the challenge every single day.

Stay tuned for another Lettering Challenge this fall!

#larkletteringchallenge Day 6: f

F is for favorite. And four-letter words. (We’ve discovered these words look particularly elegant when lettered beautifully, as discovered in lettering class!)

Don’t forget to use hashtag #larkletteringchallenge because at the end of the 30 Day Challenge, one lucky participant is going to walk away with some lettering swag! But let’s be honest. We’re all winners here because we’ll have adapted some great daily lettering habits.

#larkletteringchallenge Day 5: e

E is for effervescent. Electric. Eccentric. Exquisite.
