Important Bits of News!

I'm excited to have received strings over the last month from a few local musicians. Annie Benjamin, who's a constant supporter of eye on the sparrow designs was kind enough to pass on four sets of guitar strings, some of which were used in the Echo Theater production of Bible Woman where Annie played a rock and roll version of Esther from the Old Testament. Another local artist who I met down in Waxahachie for the Gingerbread Art Trail, Scott Fant, passed on four or five sets of guitar strings as well, including a set of bass strings. Always a score! In addition another set of bass strings came via Merritt Martin from her fiance Jake Barnhart who plays with The Naptime Shake and American Werewolf Academy. I'm super grateful for the donations and the support to help CAMF!

In store news, Make, the crafting mecca of Oak Cliff, will be adding eye on the sparrow designs to their storefront. I couldn't be more excited and honored to join the other local artists who have set up a portion of their shop at Make! I'll be selecting twenty pieces to pass on starting in September. And don't forget about designs in New Harmony, and the Museum Shop + Cafe with the JFK Museum; as well as the 15th Street Gallery in Wichita Falls.

In donation news, eye on the sparrow designs closed out 2nd quarter sales to cut a check to the Carter Albrecht Music Foundation for $754! I'm stoked about the power of the community from both local musicians and local music fans to be able to provide such a large donation. Look for more news from the Carter Albrecht Music Foundation. There are big plans in the works for next year including an event at the Granada Theater which will include designs from eye on the sparrow designs from strings provided from a multitude of Carter's guitars to be auctioned off!

And as always there are plenty of events up ahead as fall starts to approach and Christmas gifts are on the horizon. I'm excited to announce the addition this year of Market In The Meadow. Anyone who's grown up in Dallas knows this is one of THE places to get your Christmas shopping done!

More ahead... keep checking in!
