So I was being a complete nerd and checking out my book listing on Amazon. I noticed that we had one review and it was fabulous, so I thought I might share (yes, I definitely would have kept a bad review to myself ; )

Anyway – Here is the lonely review below.

Has anyone received their copy and has something to say about it? Send your reviews and comments about the book my way. I would love to read them and see what you have to say. I would also love to post them here.

Send me all comments to my email address megan@maverydesigns. Can’t wait!

You’re in luck! Not only are we starting our jewelry making classes this month, we would also like to extend a special discount for the new class just because you are reading our blog.

Read on for details:

Nancy Green, Jeweler, Designer & Owner of Nancy Green Design, will be teaching a wire wrapping jewelry class at our Shop on Wedesday January 21st from 7-9pm.

The two hour class will teach all students the skills needed for making their very own wire wrapped earrings. And more than likely you will walk away from the class with a couple of new pairs.

Wanted to send out a quick thank you to the City Weekly Website of Omaha, Nebraska. They did a little feature about easy accessory shopping for the Holidays,earlier this month and included us.

As they so kindly pointed out, you don’t have to live in Omaha to enjoy your bags. Customizing a one of a kind M Avery Designs creation can be done entirely online and then you’ll have your bag in 2-3 weeks!

Thanks again!

I have been spending my holiday time in Austin Texas this year and for fun wanted to check out if the local Borders Book Store was carrying my book…

Hooray, we found the book! And just cause I was so excited to have found it, we took a little photo for posterity!

I then, of course, put it in a much more visible location on the shelves!

Check out all the cool projects the ladies accomplished in the Fall 2008 Fashion Lab Boot Camp that just ended last week!

Diggin’ this stuff and want to do it too?

Sign up for the Winter 2009 Fashion Lab Boot Camp!

On November 21st, Megan Avery was lucky enough to be a guest on the “Morning Living” Martha Stewart Radio Show on Sirius Satellite Radio.

It was pretty cool, since Megan is just a little smitten with Martha. She didn’t get to talk directly to her, but just being in the “Martha” presence was quite an experience.

If you missed the interview live, you can listen to it here.

Stay tuned for more…

Very exciting news just in!

We just set the date for our book signing party.

My book “Bag Bazaar – 25 Stylish Bags to Sew in an Afternoon” comes out on or around November 19th, 2008 and to celebrate, we are OF COURSE going to have a book signing party.

Mark you calendars for Friday December 5th starting at 5pm.

More details to follow, but I just wanted to make sure no one double books! (Ha! Get it? double “books”…)

Anyway – Good times are sure to be had by all! What better way to jump start your holiday shopping, than with a gross of my new book for all your nearest and dearest, this holiday gift giving season!
