Thank you for joining us for GhostChella 2025

GhostChella 2.0 was SO much fun!!

We were awed by Jillian Rae performing spooky favoites, Oak and the Woods as Vulfpeck, Bryn Battani as the Talking Heads and Poison Ivy And The People as Lady Gaga. Alek and I sang a couple of Johnny and June Cash tunes to warm up the stage at Eagles 34 this Halloween.

Another huge thanks to our sponsors: Utepils Brewing, Fulton Beer, Minimum Wage Tim's Coffee Co, Leviticus Tattoo, and Eagles 34. We can't wait to see you next year!

Happy Birthday Ally at Arlo!

We had so much fun at Arlo last night at Ally's 37th birthday party. Arlo Boutique in NE Mpls has the cutest and most well curated women's capsule wardrobe items around. We were honored to be asked to be a part of Ally's special day and to provide custom embroidery for recent Arlo purchases at Ally's birthday celebration on Aug 14, 2025.

We did 10 custom embroidery pieces for Arlo customers over 3 hours. We especially enjoyed adding the word "nope" to the back of a white denim jacket. It looked so cute that three more customers bought them, and I got to add red accents to those jackets as well.

We also got the cutest new necklace from Goldfine Jewelry (love the fish charm!) and got to reconnect with Bound NOLO. What a treat!

Do you need custom embroidery for your next event? Each flash piece takes about 15 minutes to stitch. Embroidery works best on denim, tea towels, tote bags, and other sturdy fabrics without too much give. Contact me today to get a price estimate for your event.

Thank you for having us, Ally!
