Last Show of the Year!

Just a friendly reminder...this Saturday, December 2nd will be my last Arts and Craft show of the year.

I'll be exhibiting at the Union Grove High School on Highway 45 from 9am - 3pm. Stop by and say "Hello" and check out some of my new designs! I'll be offering free gift boxes with every purchase...perfect for gift giving, stocking stuffers, and even secret Santa gifts!

Hope to see you there!

Thanksgiving

This Thanksgiving was filled with the usual fare....Turkey, stuffing, cranberry relish, green bean casserole, and pumpkin pie. As our family tradition dictates, we went around the table and shared what we were thankful for. Won't my son's teacher be surprised (and probably delighted too) to find out she was mentioned as a person he was thankful for!

I have had the past few weeks off from exhibiting at craft shows. But, this does not mean that I haven't shopped at craft shows!

I feel refreshed, recharged, and ready to work on some new designs I've been wanting to implement. Check back for photos.

Wishing everyone a merry holiday season, no matter which holiday you choose to celebrate!!

Has Crafting Hit Its Peak?

I remember once upon a time, there were two really large Arts and Crafts shows in my area every year. Our family would plan for these events for weeks before the actual show!

Gas in car - check
Bottled water - check
Picnic - check
Cash - check
Sunscreen - check
Hat - check

We were ready!

Today there seems to be an Arts and Craft show in just about every town, every weekend. My love for these events hasn't faded. I still make it a point to go as often as I can. However, with these events being so common now, some of the excitement and thrill has subsided. I know that if I miss a show this week, there will be another one next week.

As a consumer and lover of all things crafty, I am well aware of this fact. As a crafter and jewelry designer, I too am well aware of this fact. So, my big question is....is a craft show every weekend in every town sustainable?
