Exhausted!

The Art Star Craft Bazaar was terrific - my sales were great, the weather was beautiful (if a bit windy the first day), and it was so much fun to see friends and meet customers. I met a number of people who told me that they had bought from me in the past, and it was very gratifying to know that my jewelry is thought of as distinctive and memorable by many people. One woman even saw my Corsico Rings on my table and told me that her husband proposed to her with the very same ring last year at Art Star! I'm still completely wiped out from the experience, though - two full days out in the elements, long days of travelling, and no breaks after returning home.

Next up, working on wholesale orders and getting ready for Bele Chere 2010 in Asheville, NC. Details of that to follow!

Art Star!

Just one more day to prepare for the Art Star Craft Bazaar! I take off early tomorrow morning, catch a quick flight from Charlotte, NC, to Philadelphia, where I'll meet up with my friend Jessie from SodaBomb, then head out to Penn's Landing for the festival on Saturday. It's a bit disconcerting that my entire inventory fits into two plastic shoebox-sized containers, while I can barely fit all of my display material into the largest suitcase we have. The weather should hold out (unlike 2008, the first year I attended; we left early due to severe thunderstorm warnings and tornado watches), and large (!) crowds are expected. My one regret about festivals like this is that I usually don't get a chance to check out the booths of the other participating artists. Art Star is chock full funky artists and crafters, so if you're in the area, it's definitely worth checking out!

New Blog!

Welcome! I've switched over to Blogspot in the hopes that it will be a bit easier to maintain. New posts are coming soon. In the meantime, take a look at my new website, courtesy of Other People Pixels, here!
