Hello All! I have an updated sales map and news for you! First off, I've had a few more international sales, and a few more domestic sales, which make me SO happy. So here's the new sales map:

I am taking custom orders for domestic shipments through the 17th of December. I am taking custom orders for Sacramento Area locals through the 21st of December.

I will be giving my website a major overhaul after the holidays and will HOPEFULLY be able to set it up for sales directly through my website at that time. More on that in January.

I have two craft fairs left this year. I hope to see you at them!

• December 8th - RESCHEDULED from the 1st!: 45th Annual Christmas Arts and Crafts Fair, 8am-4pm
  • Historic Sutter Street, Folsom
• December 16th: Nevada City Winter Craft Fair, 10am-7pm
  • Miners Foundry Cultural Center, Nevada City 
  
  

Check out the sale in my Etsy shop! I'll activate the coupon codes late Thursday night, and won't deactivate them until sometime early Tuesday morning. So November 23 through 26th you can get the best deal of the year in my Etsy shop!!!

New Sales Map, Fall Craft Fair Schedule, Treasuries and More!

Hi All! First, I'm so excited, I have had two international sales in the last 2 weeks and that means I had to update my sales map! So I zoomed out and re-centered and Ta Da:

News!

After a SUPER busy May, June and July at my day job, things are finally calming down a bit there.  But I've been busy with Rocks, Maps and Crafts, too! I have a ton of new items listed in my Etsy shop and more on the way. My very own website is up and running. I made my third ever international sale about a week ago (new map below)! I was commissioned to do a hand drawn map for an independently published book (check it out on Kickstarter). I am accepted to Nevada City, Placerville and Bella Vista  High School Craft Fairs (details are on the home page of my website). I sorted piles of pearls so I can make new rainbow pearl necklaces, laid out about 4 dozen pairs of lampwork glass earrings - can't wait to make them! - and made some new knotty silk necklaces with lampwork art glass beads from Megan Ellis and Barbara Steffen and so much more! I'm starting to ramp up for the holiday season and there are so many good things coming! Check back regularly for more!

Updated Sales Map and Other Fun Things

I'm delighted I've had a few online sales in the last month - 1 from my GroovePress shop and 2 from my Etsy Shop. I've added the locations my handmade creations have been shipped to and I must say, I like the new look of my Sales Map!

I have applied to over a half dozen craft fairs, been accepted at some, rejected from some and am waiting to hear from 5 or so. So here's the updated list of craft fairs, until I hear more:

• Taylor's Art & Antique Park, Loomis, May 5th from 10am-5pm
• Spring Antique, Craft and Garden Show, Cameron Park, May 12th from 9am-3pm
• Art and Wine Festival, Walnut Creek, June 2nd 11am-7pm and June 3rd 11am-6pm 
• Downtown Davis Art & Craft Fest, Davis, June 23rd

Hopefully I'll be back at Taylor's Art & Antique Park on July 7th and August 4th (it happens the first Saturday of every month), and in Placerville on August 12th. Still waiting to hear about one in Benicia in September, one in Napa in September, a local Sacramento show in October,  and a Napa show in November. 

And as I'm typing this blog, I just had another sale in my Etsy shop and now get to add a new star to the map in Florida! YIPPEE!
