Stop! Collaborate…

And listen up!  I’ve added a new aspect to the website.  My friend Lindsay of Rae Wolf Designs, and I have been working collaboratively to make some of the signature Lottie Hop Baby Octopi into super detailed, Steam Punk works of imagination!  These octopi can be show pieces, pins, hat pins or hair clips.  It’s still early days, but every single one we’ve offered for sale has flown off the table before we can say Benedict Cumberbatch.  The great thing about them is that you can find them at any show either Lindsay or I are participating in, but also … Continue reading

The baby octopi are invading!

So, if you’ve never seen one of my baby octopi, here you go! I love them so!  Each one is it’s own little dude, it has a personality, and a name!  If you want a baby octopus of your very own, you can find me on Saturday at the Golden Hill Farmers Market from 9-4, OR at the So-Cal Derby bout at Skate San Diego in National City from 7-???  Honestly, I don’t know when the derby is over.  Probably when the after party starts is my guess. As a new feature, I’d like to direct you to a blog … Continue reading

Thrifting Thursday #3

Hey!  It’s Thrifting Thursday!  Did anyone go thrifting today?  I’ve been thrifting on and off all week (like I do).  Tuesday I went to a thrift store I don’t visit as much because I don’t live in the area, called Baras.  It’s uptown from where I live.  They were having a killer sale on kids clothes!  Are you ready?  TEN CENTS APIECE!  I found some Carter’s items, a sweet dress, a blankie, a bib and bloomers.  I also found a mother load of yarn, all fifty cents a skein.  I picked up a set of knitting needles as well; I’ve … Continue reading
