happy new year!
i hope everyone had a merry Christmas and happy new year. i’ve enjoyed spending time with my family these last few weeks. i just wanted to take a minute and thank everyone for buying my scarves for Christmas presents…ya’ll are amazing! i hope everyone liked them and will send some orders my way. i’ve made some changes to the color combo and pricing pages. i will be making changes to the way i take orders soon, but haven’t done so yet. i’m going to include some pictures that a photographer sent me at the bottom of this post, because i told her i’d do it a long time ago and just haven’t gotten around to it…sorry, Desirae!

i hope to see you all at the downtown christmas market THIS saturday from 11-6…following the christmas parade in downtown monroe. there will be many vendors and lots of fun…i really hope you’ll make it. j.melcena will be there with a booth…in case you forgot to get your orders in. if you can’t make it to the market, but would still like a scarf for christmas…there are still a few available at bayou crafters mall. i hope to get a new stash to them as soon as i can…but it probably won’t be before christmas. i am working SO HARD to get everyone’s christmas orders out to them. thank you so much for your patience. if you’ve already submitted an order to me, you will get it before christmas. thanks again for your overwhelming love and support. i appreciate every single one of you!
~love always~

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.~

better late than never…
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~

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!
~love always~

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.
i realize that some of the pictures are cut off…i’m not very good at this. i promise i will get the hang of it…hopefully soon! thanks for stopping by…and come back often. i will post new pictures soon!
-love always-
