As a thank you for your ideas, I'll draw the names of 2 lucky winners and each winner will receive:
1) Couch Potato Lavender DIY Eye Pillow Kit - These feature exclusive Scarlet Fig designed fabric
1) Wing Through Customs Passport Cover DIY Kit - These feature Anna Maria Horner designed fabric and a hand stamped passport label with my design
Here's what I think in terms of what kinds of stores I should target, but I'm anxious to hear what you think...
-Independent home goods / home accessories boutiques. They probably carry indie designers.
-Small fabric or crafting stores.
-Online fabric/supplies stores might also be a good fit.

I think this is a GREAT spot for your kits. And then they'll be available locally, JUST in case I don't win. :O)

The owners name is Carrie. She's always interested in homemade items.
Best of luck boutique hunting and thank you for hosting this great giveaway.
Los Angeles has reform school and it is awesome: http://www.reformschoolrules.com/
the kits are so cute!
I would suggest Blue 7 in OKC. They are a great local, independent business, and they're very supportive of local and out of town artists!

Sew to Speak in Columbus Ohio!
I actually JUST wrote a blog post about this place yesterday!!
my blog (so you can see some photos and a link to their blog!)
www.runningstitch.typepad.com
Sew to Speak is only a year old and is independently owned! Your fabrics would fit in so well there as well as your kits!
I think you would do great in a boutique . Check out "The Muse" in Frederick, MD.

There's a lavender field here that has a gift shop. It might be cool to hook up with them. You'd need to use their lavender though http://www.thelavenderfields.com/
also, upscale gardening shops might like this, or even gardening websites, since you're featuring use of something that comes out of the garden. Try contacting Annies Annuals http://anniesannuals.com/
and Summers Past Farms http://www.summerspastfarms.com/
I'll go blog about your giveaway now.
I subscribed to your newsletter. Thanks!

You might try a store called
confetti in Richmond. The owner's name is Barb and she is always looking for kitschy stuff.

I think this store in Sisters, OR would be perfect for your stuff.
http://twigs-sisters.com/index.html
It has a sister store, which is a quilting fabric store which also may be appropriate.

I think your work would also sell well at Fireworks in Seattle, WA.

Eclectic in Austin, TX
Gabby B in New Braunfels, TX

Hmm... you might try this little shop - Ink Ink - www.inkinkpapers.com. They're mainly an upscale stationery store, but they're expanding with some household items and other handmade fabric items.
My girlfriends and I go to a little place called The Tea Room for lunch as often as we can! The front half of the restaurant is a little shop area with handmade gifts. It's a somewhat random assortment, think: stuffed animals, pincushions, salt & pepper shakers, tea sets, handmade candles etc. They do a TON of takeout (a lot of elementary schools are nearby, and us teachers love to order out whe we can =) So when people come to pick up their orders, there's a little time to browse and shop. Anyway, here is the link:

Eddies Quilting Bee in Sunnyvale, Ca

Thanks so much!
I've subscribed to your newsletter and will mention your giveaway in tomorrow's posting. Sorry to say, can't think of a shop nearby that might be a good match. Wish I did!

There's one in my area called Sarahs Fabrics and they carry the best selection of fabric, patterns, notions, etc. that I've seen.
They're in Lawrence, KS.
I think Patina in Minneapolis, MN would be a good fit for you. Best of luck!

You would fit in very well with The Red Tree in Baltimore: http://redtreebaltimore.com/ Would love to see you over here!
Your items would fit in really well with the group of artists at Funky Finds, it's a Ft. Worth (TX, obviously lol) based website (sort of Etsy-esque) but they support a more local scene. I stumbled across their Spring Fling a couple of weekends ago, and it was FANTASTIC, I could see your DIY Craft Kits making a big splash there. www.funkyfinds.us
