winding down

The market season is coming to an end. I am ready for a short break before the holidays, but I know I will miss them as soon as they are over. Today was my last day in Tacoma (unless there is sun on Oct. 11. Yesterday was my last day in Kirkland (unless there is sun on Oct. 10)

The rest of my schedule goes like this:

Saturday Sept 29
Edmonds 9-3 (MY LAST DAY!!!)

Sunday Sept 30
Ballard 10-3

I will continue Ballard on and off for the rest of the year. And continue again full time in March.


Now is the time to gear up for my fall shows. I am going to have a trunk show at Peridot a boutique in Queen Anne sometime in December. My studio show will be in December and I will have many private shows between now and then.


Phew.. I can't believe it's the end..

pictures around the neighborhood

My Cousin and her friend were visiting from Maine this week. Every morning we would walk around the neighborhood. Here are some photos that came from our walk. The flowers, the colors, the designs all very inspiring to me.

email problems

Well, my website has been having some problems. I've been using this web-hosting company for several years and suddenly, they no longer exsist, without even warning us. So, I am working on getting a new host and in the meantime. Please email me at samiashalabi@gmail.com. My website is up and running and of course this new blog is a great place to check out what is going on with Karazi Design.

Enjoy the photos of recent hikes we've been on.

more CAbi jewelry

Here are a couple more pictures of jewelry I have designed to go with the fall/winter 2007 line of CAbi clothing. If anyone is interested contact me. I apologize for the quality of the photos. It's something I am working on.

The earrings are sterling silver wire wrapped and soldered $30. The necklace is black onyx with turquoise and carnelian accents with a brushed sterling pendant $60 and the earrings (my best sellers) brushed sterling $30.

Have a great weekend.
