New work keeps rolling in!

Check it out! This past week we got a lot of great new work from some of our awesome artists.

First up: Abby Flanigan! That's right, our girl has brought in some more great pop-up illustrations!



Next: Jeanette Wintjen! Jeanette makes great leather jewelry! Check out all the new jewelery she's brought us.


Finally: Matt Cavanaugh! Matt has brought us some totally different work, and we couldn't be loving it more. Check out those "mix tapes", so smart!



We anticipate even more things to come in these next two weeks! Keep your eye on the blog, and stop in the shop!

Meet our new employees!

All By Hand is so excited to have actually hired some help over here at the shop. Woo hoo! And yes this does mean that we've filled all available positions, sorry. Believe us, it was a tough decision to make. Everyone who applied is so great!

However, we couldn't be happier with who we've hired. We're loving our new employees and we think you should love them too! In case you can't make it into the shop right away (I mean really why aren't you running here right now?), you can meet them on here first!

First up is Jennifer McGowan! She's an amazing metals and jewelry artist. Check her work out here, and at All By Hand! Jenn's a ton of fun and has such a great personality. Be sure to come in and visit her on Fridays!



Next up is Jon Vozzo! Jon is an awesome graphic designer. Check out his work here! Jon will be here on Wednesdays and Thursdays, so be sure to get in to meet him and listen to jams like Saves the Day!



Next we've got the always lovely Bridgett Bonn-Wagner! Bridgett makes amazing jewelry using everything from silver and gold, to Gulf War trading cards. Check it out here, and at All By Hand! Bridgett is only working shifts that need picking up right now, but we hope to get her part-time soon!



Finally (just because what fun would it be including the employees silly photos and not ours) is us! Abby and Julianna!




We hope you stop by soon to meet everyone! Be sure to be on the look out for a lot of new work we'll be getting in too!

New Happenings at All By Hand

Hey all! Phew, it's a new month and let's hope all this blustery, snowy weather is behind us. Come on spring! Fingers crossed.

Well the future of All By Hand is still a little up in the air, but we sure do have a lot happening here in the month of March! Check out our new St. Patty's day display. What better way to celebrate drinking green beer (ew?) and avoiding the drunken Erin Express riders, then with some great new jewelry and green gear from All By Hand.






We've also got some great new work from Danielle Taraschi. She makes all her jewelry from recycled vintage pieces. Pretty cool!



We're also hoping to get a special going on all prints for the Philagrafika print event this month! We'll give you more info on that as soon as we get it all figured out on our end.


Be sure to stop by All By Hand this month for all the festivities!!! Hopefully seeing you soon!

The Future.... Part 2

Well Abby and I got some answers this week but not all of our questions have been responded too. The plus is we will at least be open in our current location for another month! We will find out more about new locations in the next couple weeks. Keep your fingers crossed for us still!

On another note though, ALL BY HAND IS HIRING! Looking for a part time job? Well we're your girls. We've already hired one great new employee, Jen McGowan, but we are in need of another. If you are available to work Wednesdays and Thursdays from 9:30-4 let me know. Those are currently the hours we need to fill. I can fill you in on more details via email. (allbyhandphila@gmail.com) We look forward to hopefully hearing from you!

Thanks again everyone for all the warm wishes! It all means so much to us!

xoxo,

Julianna & Abby!

The Future.....

Today Abby and I will get a definitive answer to the future (or at least the next 2 months) of All By Hand. Here's hoping the accountant gives us some good news. Keep your fingers crossed for us! We really want to keep selling all our great local artists work.

Hugs and kisses and nervous feelings,

Julianna & Abby.
