Alt Recap: New (to me) Bloggers You Should Follow

Ok, so I lied yesterday. I said I was going to talk about my favorite business card designs, but we had a slight issue w/ photos, so I’ll have to reshoot them today.

Moving on.

Today is all about new-to-me blogs that you should be checking out. This is by no means a definitive list of the amazingness I met at AltSummit! Also? If you attended Alt Summit, would you do mea  huge favor & comment on this post w/ your URL? My only complaint about AltSummit is that they didn’t give us a directory of all the attendees. Wouldn’t that have been helpful?

Little Pincushion Studio – along with fellow Virginians Petals in Prose, Art.Fashion.Furniture, Tribal Times. (the cutest girls you’ll ever meet – and the nicest, too).

Maiya – Design. Art. Robots. What else is there?

I LOVE Style&Pepper. Plus, I can’t wait to show you her business cards.

Best wardrobe of Alt Summit award goes to Mara with A Blog About Love.

Separated At Birth Award goes to The Alison Show. Y’all, she gave glitter nailpolish out with her business cards. This is my girl.

Blue-Eyed Yonder has the most gorgeous branding ever.

You can’t not love a guy who goes by “Uncle Beefy.”

The Bedlam of Beefy

These girls need no introduction. I absolutely adored everything they’re about.

The Girls with Glasses Show

Again with the fabulous branding – Michelle Edgemont is wicked talented.

    unfortunately I didn’t get to meet you at Alt (there were just so many and a directory would be nice) but I did see someone with one of your cute iPhone cases and wondered where it was from. Love it and your little shop, so fun!

      Yay! I loved getting to meet some of my clients in real life. It was so cool when people would come up to me w/ their iPhones in hand and say, “IS THIS YOU?!?!?!”

    I’m hoping they’ll still put out a list! For some reason I remember when we signed up that we had to check a box asking if we wanted to be public. Am I making that up in hindsight? Wishful thinking :)  My blog is http://hellomoxie.blogspot.com/ & can’t wait to get it gussied up !

    Rachel!  You are a dear!  So happy to be highlighted here.  THANK YOU.  I must say, it is just awesome to know the women behind these blogs….cause they are all so, so great.  I met most of these people, too, and thought they were amazing & kind.  I’ll just add that Michelle Edemont does indeed have ridiculously fun branding.  And The GWG Show – they have the biggest hearts.  I just loved them.   And the Alison Show is ADORABLE.  And Style & Pepper was one of the nicest women.   Thanks, again!  p.s. I am in love with your stripes.

    Rachel loved your post on the “new” kids to follow, I was at Alt Summit as well and could not agree more on needing a full list of all of the attendees! Meg from Mimi + Meg did a great one if you haven’t already looked at it. But just wanted to say “hello” and thanks for the great post. Hope to see you at next year’s Alt Summit! 

    Cheers,
