Post-Manito Ahbee

Ah! Hello everyone!!

Things are finally settling down for a hot second (before they pick back up again for the Michigan event) and I wanted to tell you a little bit about this past weekend at Manito Ahbee!

First off, two of the Beyond Buckskin Boutique artists flew into North Dakota and they camped at the Metcalfe compound in Gardena North Dakota for a couple of days before we dashed past the North 40 up to Canada.

Insta-Win Earrings Competition

I'm very excited to announce that MaRia Bird and Andrea Preston are putting on a cool competition on Instagram. They made the official announcement in the video below (where you get to learn a bit more about them as people - which is very cool, and they are silly).

So if you have an Instagram account, and own Mea B'Fly or DreLynn Designs earrings, take an awesome creative picture of the earrings (either of you wearing them, or another person wearing them, or in a cool setting), post the pic on Instagram, and tag @drepreston and @meabfly.

At the annual Gathering of Nations Powwow, I always get to catch up with some great artists/fashionarias. Check out these three super fly ndn chicks and their badass earrings!:

She was reppin' a huge selection at GON (see left), and even spotted me some dope black and white earrings featuring the badass artwork of one of my favorite artists, Thomas Marcus (aka Breeze).
