A New Era

As May nears its end, CARTER SAFARI embarks on a new beginning. Honestly, I have been reluctant to post a new blog as there have been a lot of changes in my life as of late. The last blog written by Kayla Rae made reference to an April 5th & 6th shopping event in which Carter Safari was present as a vendor. That was a new & interesting experience in which I may participate again in 2009. It is called 'Spring Shopping Affair,' and this year it was located in Oak Grove/Milwaukie Oregon.


April was a month for finishing projects and gathing supplies for the future, along with some time for a vacation break. I needed it. Also, much time in the month of April was spent searching for a new home & studio.
May has been very busy. New fabric orders have been received, new underwear prints are in production, as well as a new underwear style. Now, along with the thong, the tap short, and the no-wedgie underwear, there is the cheeky brief. Look forward to seeing more of these:


I have been packing up the home and studio for the move, and in the midst of all of this, CARTER SAFARI was a participant in the Alberta Street Art Hop. It was so hot! 95-97 Degrees and I must have spent at least 6 out of the eight hours in the direct sun. If anybody has a canopy for sale, please consider selling it to me! Anyway, with such extreme temperatures (for Oregon), many ladies were excited about a new pair of panties. I had one young man come by very interested in my men's shorts, so hopefully he will contact me for a pair in his size. He had mentioned wearing them to the "Burning Man" festival. At any rate, sales were good, and the event was fun. I encourage anyone to go to the Alberta Street events in the future.

I hope to have the new studio set up by June 5th, and look forward to getting back to work.

Thanks for reading my blog!

January 2008

This is the first Blog. Today marks the end of the first week with an intern at CARTER SAFARI.

k. is helping with pressing, and cutting and a little bit of sewing. She has minimal sewing experience, so we are taking that slowly. We are getting things going and she will be posting pictures as the items are completed.

As part of her internship, I have given her the assignment of posting blogs. She seems to be into the idea.

I will sign off for now and let k. get more into detail regarding who she is, where she comes from; she will tell you what cartersafari is all about, the general concept, and what we do on a daily basis.

Cheers!
