I Never Sleep.


So - I will be participating in the North Salem Old Fashion Days craft festival in.... you guessed it - North Salem, Indiana. It is over Labor Day weekend - September 5-6-7. I will be in booth 4 on South Broadway - just look for the kick ass jewelry booth. Shouldn't be hard to find.. ;) I just bought more jewelry display cases tonight... ugh another $40 out of my pockets... I also have bought supplies to make my own necklace and bracelet bar displays. I'm really excited to see how my new booth will look. Should be effing incredible. I also bought today new metal tags for my "children's names" custom stamped necklaces. I now can fit up to 3 different names on cascading tags. The picture is from a two name necklace.


I've also started to transform my front living room into my jewelry studio - things are going great. I'm really excited about my new permanent design space. I'm planning on a goodwill trip tomorrow to get a nicer desk/table instead of using one of my booth tables. :)


ANNND - I just added a lot of the newer designs I made for the Brownsburg festival to my etsy shop - http://www.seizethenight.etsy.com/ I'll be adding the designs that sold out at the show soon too. Plus I've been shopping an awful lot lately and have a lot of new supplies and ideas. I'm really excited.


Did I mention that following me on facebook or twitter lets you know about secret sales (that I have ALL the time...) Check them out!

Rain Rain Rain


So tired of rainy days. It feels more like fall that summer. I love fall - and wish fall weather stuck around longer... but I was looking forward to some more pool days before it came around. Anyways - I've added some new designs to http://www.seizethenight.etsy.com/ - a lot of which I debuted at the Brownsburg Festival of the Arts last weekend. There are still a lot more to add - those which sold and I haven't had a chance to make more of yet. But today I have to start getting ready for my friend's wedding in Greensburg - an hour and a half away. My boyfriend was supposed to be able to go with me but now has to work. :( It's going to be a long drive - but I could probably use it. :) Have a good day!

First Official Art Festival

Whew. I've been so busy trying to get ready for my first official art festival. Brownsburg Festival of the Arts. It was an overcast and oddly chilly day in July - but the turnout wasn't that bad. I've made a ton of new designs - those that did well at the fair will be remade and added to my website on etsy. I can't wait to get them up there - I had a lot of great feedback at the fair. I plan on attending again. I'm also excited to participate in the North Salem Old Fashion Days. I need to buy a white - straight leg canopy before September though. Ugh. I really wish I had known about more festivals this summer to attend - as most of the deadlines are well past... Now I need to go through the mess I've left for myself after the art fair - AND GET THESE NEW DESIGNS ON THE SITE. :) Can't wait for everyone to see them. :)
