Updated Sales Map

Yippee! I've had a few online sales this past week, plus a GREAT show at the Holiday Craft Fair in Carmichael. I'll definitely be back for that one next year and will also give their spring Craft Fair a try. So, I've updated my sales map to show what new places are now home to my creations!

I've also started a Picasa Web Gallery for my creations, so please check it out!

Holiday Craft Fair this weekend...

Saturday November 5th, I'll be at the Mission Oaks Community Center in Carmichael (off Gibbons Drive) for their Holiday Craft Fair! from 9am til 3pm. Come by and see all the creative vendors and find the best in unique holiday gifts!

Great things coming!

This weekend - TOMORROW - I'll be in Historic old town Folsom, CA for their Fall Harvest Festival and Craft Fair. From 10am til 4pm on Sutter street. There will be LOTS of talented artists and craftspeople, including me! I have gobs of new items not yet listed in my shops and all kinds of pretties I'll be finishing tonight. Come check it out!
And in the mean time, check out this great Rainbow Treasury on Etsy!

Davis Ranch Harvest Festival

You really should stop by! It'll be so much fun! Saturday and Sunday both, 9am -5pm

Pictures taken, more listings coming soon!

I finally got pictures taken of about 80 jewelry items not currently listed in any of my shops. I didn't have my favorite model but I at least had my good setup with light box. I have another dozen or so jewelry items still to be photographed, and a half dozen crochet items and almost as many beaded ornaments still to be photographed. But before I try my next photo-shoot I'll get the 80ish item photos (usually about 3 pics per item) cropped and ready to list. SO coming soon will be many new items to my shops!!!

Competing with my desire to get those things listed is my need to get my new table covers made before the Lodi Street Fair, which is Sunday October 2nd. I got the fabric washed and dried so it's pre-shrunk, and will get one of the tables set up in my craft room behind my sewing machine so I can measure out what I need. I'll be SO excited to return the borrowed table cloths I've been using for the last year to my momma. :) The new table covers will be a light-to-medium purple swirly print that completely covers each of my 6' tables down to a half-inch above the ground, and over that I'll have big diamond shaped overlays that are a cream-on-cream print of butterflies. I'm so excited! I'll post pics of my booth at Lodi when I'm done so y'all can see. OH, and I just remembered I need to make more business cards...

Have a great weekend and hope to see you in Lodi on the 2nd! OH and I'll be in booth #1004, on Church street, near Elm street - almost smack in the middle of the handcrafts section.

Craft Fairs - update

Hey All! I'll be at Midtown Bazaar for Second Saturday tomorrow - noon til 8pm, in the WEAVE parking lot at 18th and K, next door to Harv's Car Wash, Sacramento, CA. Come check it out! I'll have all the new necklaces (finished since the last pic I posted) and some more new fun stuff.
Also, good news, I think. I haven't heard for certain where my booth will be, but my registration fee checks were cashed for the Folsom Fall Fest and the Folsom Christmas Fair. So I'll be selling at those too!

Plus, my items have been featured in two Etsy treasuries recently:
Smoke Gets in Your Eyes - featuring my labradorite spiral earrings
Hush! The rain is coming but not today - featuring my gorgeous chunky lace cape

Craft Fairs

Well, I did NOT get into the juried craft fair I applied for. I'm a little disappointed, but then again, it's probably the mark of a growing artist to get your first rejection notice. :) I followed up on two other shows in Folsom I hadn't heard about yet, and the coordinator emailed me the apps and asked me to apply again, something was wrong with the online app I filled out. There's another show I'd been wanting to do that was the weekend before the juried show, so now I'm free to apply for that too. I'll mail all my new applications in tomorrow. So the plan is:
1) Lodi Street Fair on Oct 2nd (already accepted and booth number assigned)
2) 3rd Annual Fall Fest in Folsom on October 29th
3) Midtown Bazaar 2nd Saturday November 12th
4) 3rd Annual Davis Ranch Harvest Festival November 19th
5) Folsom Christmas Fair on December 3rd
6) Midtown Bazaar 2nd Saturday on December 10th.

That's assuming my applications are accepted for the Davis Ranch and Folsom shows. :) They aren't juried shows, but if they already have too many jewelry vendors (for example) they'll probably turn me down.
And, since I haven't been doing much creating (grad school is almost done, but it still calls!) here's a sneak peak at the new items waiting for clasps! 8 knotty crystal necklaces, 2 bracelets and 2 rainbow pearl knotty necklaces. I have 2 more Renee 3-strand knotty pearl necklaces that are almost done too!
