some of you may know and some may not, but matt & i are expecting baby #2 in february.  we are having another little girl and couldn’t be more excited!  i’ve had some complications and will be taking time off between november-march.

christmas orders have to be in by october 31st in order for me to complete them before thanksgiving.  any orders received after october 31st cannot be guaranteed until march 2010.  i hate to have to do this, but it is very important to me to be able to spend time with my family during the holidays and time leading up to our new arrival.

in the meantime, plans for a new & improved website (with a shopping cart & improved ordering system) are underway.

j.melcena scarves are still available at bayou crafters mall in west monroe, so stop by and pick one up…and while you’re in there, check out the other amazing vendors!

thanks so much for your patience and understanding.  it really  means a lot to me and my family.

~love always.~

i’m just getting around to posting pictures from the downtown artfest.  i’m sorry it’s taken so long, but i really don’t get on the computer very much these days.  it’s so easy to check email from my phone that i usually just do that and don’t get online very much.  we use firefox instead of explorer, and seem to have a photo sizing problem.  it looks fine on my computer when i post pictures, but then if i look at the page from another computer…the pictures are sized wrong.  please forgive me!  these pictures are from the artfest.  it was raining and we had to move inside the parking garage, but it was still a great day.  thanks so much for coming out and supporting j.melcena.  i really appreciate it!

~love always~

just wanted to let everyone know that the downtown artfest is happening THIS saturday, 4.18.09.  i expect to see you all there!  i am sharing a booth with my friend, lisa. she is going to be selling some of her new orleans prints, as well as introducing her new venture, syla, to the world.  we are going to have a great time…i’m so excited!  there will be paintings, photos, jewelry, music, dance, theatre, spoken word poetry, food, and much more!  there’s even something for the kiddos.  i know the weatherman says it’s going to rain, but that doesn’t matter…if it rains, we’re taking it to the parking garage.

tuesday, christie jones from the downtown artfest called. i thought she was going to tell me that they were very sorry but there was no room for my booth at the artfest. i was so nervous! but, it wasn’t bad news at all. in fact, it was very good news. she told me that she really loved my scarves and wanted to wear one on wednesday morning when she went on good morning ark-la-miss to promote the artfest. i was so excited! you can check it out here.

see you saturday!

more pictures

these pictures are some that my amazing friend, vanessa, took a while back.  there are some from senior sessions and a few with her little girl, kyndal grace.  all of the scarves shown are the “treasure” color combo.  please check the color combo tab in the upper right hand corner for all available color combos.  i am working to have display models of all color combos…i have to work on them in between filling orders, being a wife, mother, and my full-time job as a social worker.  also, look for me on april 18th at the monroe downtown artfest.  i’ll be sharing a booth with my friend, lisa.
