Please excuse me all of you readers and friends for not being available lately, i have been hiding and trying to get ready to take thetulleroom.com to new adventures and working in new items for new customers and for this upcoming local art walk.
My halloween celebration spirit is running low because i celebrated last week, however the candy corn addiction still persists.
I leave you with the top selling items specially this halloween season who would pass up a 14k plated pair of skeleton hands?? Hurry because we have a few left.


i hope everyone has a safe halloween weekend and i will be back with some of my favorite halloween pictures !

la dee da...

The adventure came to and end. We are definitely doing this again and i also want to add that without the support of all of you that have believed in us,the tulle room would not be able to get anywhere. So like that Journey songs says ... Don't stop believing!

The inspiration is priceless, all the nice people i met, the people i only knew via phone or email turned out to be even sweeter in person. I am being dead honest i was not expecting that much love and collaboration specially being so far away from home.

Thank you,thank you for allowing me to take my creativity places and opening doors and possibilities to a deep in nowhere Texas Crafter. (i'm glad you all now know where Mcallen is, and no its not near Austin, and yes its way south.)

Following are just snap shots of places i ate, rested, indulged, and got inspired. <3








wine and dine at little italy


my favorite part of grand central station <3





marc jacobs bookstore, marc jacobs this and that and bla bla if he wasn't my fave i wouldnt care to share this.

Magnolia bakery, old school little bakery with the best icing i have EVER tasted!



giant margaritas ...thanks!


the lights will inspire you...or just make you dizzy idk what alicia keys was talking about.

that's me being a tourist all the way :D HIIII!!!






THANK YOU NEW YORKKKK!



of course i took like 1,000 pics of all adventures and MISadventures but those i will keep to myself ;)

New york taught me a couple of things. First, there is A LOT of people so yeah you can sure make it there but you have to wake up before thousands of people and fight for a seat in the train (which i can honestly live without,im borderline GERMophobe, i cannot stand the smells, coughs and sneezes of strangers in huge amounts)
Also Education is key and if you want to do what you love you have to be prepared people are street smart as well as book smart, so you ain't fooling anyone in the city.

I feel accomplished of taking us in this trip and learning so much from others and ourselves. I sure want to learn more from this great place now that our horizons have expanded which is why i am not saying goodbye but see you later alligator.

Part two : i made friends.

The second day of the fair i was mainly tied to my booth i coudn't enjoy much of the fair but when i did there was usually a nice friendly, crafter, artist or monster to greet me. You really wished you lived in wonderland.





they talked amongst themselves all creepy and whatnot



crochet monster. wears everything crochet.


are you a heart challenger yet?


rice filled bags you can throw at fuckheads...so they get the message ya know? from our friends at maybeyoushoulddie.com



also one of my favorite items i bought and another one of my favorite booths Grandwazoo! thanks for making a woody allen fan happy :D





last but not least my neighbor and golden goddess who i was so happy to meet and work with for that weekend. UZINYC she hooked me up with a set of classic metal bands pillow set that my metal brother would die for and that bring my living room together perfectly. Thank you darling <3


random dude.


oh and i knitted a hat for a baby in the bronx orphanage with etsy :)


After the fair was over i was exhausted so i decided to sleep in the next day...i dont know how good of an idea that was but after my 10 hrs of sleep i became a tourist! and i will show you more of my adventures as a tourist in the next post.

wonder world

The day finally arrived! I had no idea what to expect or how to feel about the entire weekend ahead of me, i felt scared and kind of clueless because everything was so new to me as well as the people. All fears and doubts disappeared the first day of setting up and makers party. As i walked in i heard bands play, saw people in different costumes, the check in desk was super kind finding our fixtures and our maker colleagues were such a pleasure to meet!
They served us Gerard's paella for dinner (food network's paella challenge winner) which was AMAZING!! I had the chicken and shrimp paella and the texture of such dish can't be described, it was so good i wouldn't attempt to make it myself.




yes there was an open bar and he wasted NO time.

the hooligan marching band

The next day the first day of the festival begun, with my heart in my hands i received my first customer 5 minutes after opening the booth and luckily that's how the day continued one after another different people from all over came to greet us, try on out items, tell us jokes or simply to give us a compliment. Which is PRICELESS! our top seller item was the vintage doll eyes!


Every time i got a chance i ran to see different activities going on and as i approached the other side of the fair i was blown away by all the creativity all around me, popular mechanics was there allowing people to do hands-on activities to understand certain mechanisms.


Everyone was representing their own style and what they were representing with their crazy outfits. Some were head to toe covered in gold riding cardboard gold ponies can you imagine that? My favorite bike was this one which took me back to some 1800's circus of some sort and i loveeeed it i followed him around like a creep.





orchestra made out of all kinds of random materials plugged into a mixer. INGENIUS to the max!

Every little sting and item made a noise like this beetle would have his own percussion set ha!


Hands down my favorite activity was Nelson with his electric chaircuts! He had an amplifier on his back and some sort of belt full of different tools and mechanisms that would make sick noises depending on the tool he was using to cut the hair. The customer was taped to the chair and also taped from eyes and mouth the whole thing was very asylum themed. Crazy awesome!!!




It was so amazing to have been able to be part of such a celebration of creativity as the world maker faire is. I could not believe my eyes in a lot of the things i saw and lived that weekend. i am Definitely honored to have been able to meet such great creative people from all over and specially being a part of the first time the world maker faire was in NYC. It was a whole other world were impossible things were possible and people from other planets existed. inspired yet?

I will post the second part and the customers hall of fame this upcoming week! stay tuned! oh and go visit us at the Mcallen art walk tonight ! We just landed back in town and we will work some more! come hang.
