News, News, News.
Coming today! is the Philadelphia Inquirer at 4pm to shoot some photos of the store. The article is about art stores that are "popping up" all over the city for the holiday season! We're pretty excited to be in the piece. Here's hoping they use the photos the shoot today! Once again I'd like to invite all graduates from UArts and Moore to the shoot. They want to have as many artists as possible. Think of the great free press for your art, and why not make Mom and Dad proud at the same time! "See Mom I put all the money you spent on my college tuition to work!" Thanks guys and hoping to see you later today!

Love always,

Julianna & Abby

The Inquirer!!!!!

Q. Could we be more pumped!?!?!?!!?

A. Nooooo!

The Inquirer is coming for an interview and to shoot photos at All By Hand on Thursday! We're so excitedddddddd. (hence the extra letters) Here's hoping the story doesn't land on the editing room floor.



To all UArts and Moore Grads involved in the store:
Come out Thursday at 4 and make your parents proud! They want to interview current students and alumni of both schools featured in the store. The piece is about 2 (totally rad, awesome, cute, and nerdy) girls both recent grads and one still a student opening an artist consignment store featuring their friends, which also happen to be recent grads and students! (aka you!) So come be famous for 15 minutes and live in the lime light. See you Thursday!

Flickr time.

Hey guys! I'm posting this from the shop and our internet seems to hate me today. So instead of posting a thousand photos here like I normally do, I'm attaching a link to my friend Lauren Chesnutt's flickr. Check out the photos from the opening! (and while you're at it...check out our sweet bowling pics too!) Thanks Lauren!!!!
