As you may be aware, Harry Hambly is looking to wind down operations at Hambly Studios. As a result, they are no longer designing new products and I am no longer working for them. I have had a wonderful experience designing the Hambly products over the last 8+ years, and working with such genuine people. I will of course continue to design and be a part of this great creative community. The Hambly blog and Hambly facebook page will be on hold while I transition into new projects and opportunities. I'll keep updates on my personal blog or facebook page. If you need to reach me, please contact me through email.
I have also started getting e-mails and notes from a bunch of you. Thank you all for the nice comments, they mean alot to me. It is very sad, and still hard to believe. Hambly's products really were so different from anything else out there.
Recently I've been working on a collection with Echo Park which I'll share more information about soon. It's been nice to focus on something positive and exciting during this difficult transition with Hambly.
Sincerely,
Allison Kreft Abad
Giant hugs to you! I'm so sad to hear about Hambly but I will look forward to your line with Echo Park, I love them!

I was sad to see this posted on the Hambly blog this morning. Now I'm REALLY going to hoard my Hambly products! (Shirley Birley on FB)

Always sad to hear about a company closing and I loved how different Hambly products were from everything out there, but I know I will be grabbing your Echo Park collection as soon as it comes out! Love your designs :)

I will miss Hambly's products terribly. You've been one of my favorites for so long....
All the best to you, Miss Allison! I look forward to seeing what else you've got up your sleeve. Your designs are what made me love Hambly, and I'm sure I'll love what you offer next!
