Postponed Show!

The Garden Art Fair is postponed until next Saturday. It was supposed to rain all day. I think it started in the afternoon. I think it would have been ok, but maybe next Saturday will be a beautiful sunny day.

The Nebraska AIDS Project event was alright. Not many sales, but I'd definitely do it again. What a great group of people! I had fun. The very large, very tasty Hurricane probably helped my mood immensely :)

Anyway, today is Button Sunday. I've listed "new" vintage buttons on Jade Dog Beads, so if you are in the market, now's the time! I've made some fun rings out of the larger buttons. They are fabulous.

Great show!

The Rockbrook show was a success. A vendor didn't show, and unloading vendors were parked in my original space, so I was able to snag THE supreme spot at the fair. It doesn't hurt none that my work is awesome :) My back is killing me. So today is a day of rest.

I sold some fringe rings and fringe beads, a few PMC necklaces...a little bit of everything, but none of my newer works, except for the PMC pinecone pictured a few posts ago.

Jinx!

I hope I'm not jinxing the upcoming craft show at Rockbrook, but I am looking forward to it. Everything has just come together for it, that it feels like SOMETHING is going to happen. Like the feeling you get before a big storm, except you don't know it's a storm until it's rushing right past you, whipping your hair around your face like when you are standing feet away from the railroad tracks and a train passes you and almost knocks you off your feet. That kind of feeling.



It could be the Funky llama talkin', but I have a good feeling about the next couple of weeks. Stay tuned to see if I've got the mojo :)

New Plan

I'm in the craft show at Rockbrook on Saturday. I kinda called in a favor, and there you go. I've done this one before...not terrific sales, but I feel like I need to do a little "dry run," so to speak. I washed and dried tablecloths and the mannequin's outfits :) today, and still need to spray paint an earring display and clean my tent weights. I don't think I'll have time to finish the freeforms I wanted to have done, but we'll see.

PMC

I finally finished several PMC nature pieces and strung them with some semi-precious and glass and wood beads. I'm not putting any of my new work up on Etsy until after the shows the weekend of the 10th. I have plans for 3 freeforms and 3 more necklace using the raku beads I have purchased from Jon Almeda.

Vintage Lucite Up on JadeDogBeads

I just listed several strands of awesome lucite beads, mostly leaves. I love lucite. It has a great feel, almost velvety.

WOW

What a day! I sold two freeform bracelets, two fringe beads, and few beads and charms. AND to top it all off, Hy-Vee has restocked my favorite frozen pizza, Palermo's Margherite. Can life really get any better? Oh, yeah, and I was mistaken for 23 by two customers. :)
