Events were a success

What fun!! The Soiree in the hills was wonderful with many sells, great food and wine. Many thanks to Erin and Mr. Greenwood (the winemaker - Greenwood Winery - Halifax, VA.)

Last Sat. Sept. 25th was the South Boston Harvest Festival and with the help of my husband we set up shop at 7AM - 5PM. The crowds were great, sells were brisk, music was wonderful - a great time was had by all. It was also in the 90's but a little sunburn never hurt anyone. I received a few special orders that I'm working on now.

Where do I go from here? I know of a few Holiday Shows but not sure I want to pay the fee.....these are big time events with fees starting at $100. I'm playing around with the idea of another website but then it's back to photographing ALL my pieces. I'm not the best at taking jewelry pictures - there is an art to it. I'm also thinking of purchasing a metal stamp set so I can personalize sterling silver blanks with names and/or dates. Another investment to think about.

For now I'll work on my special orders, work my very part-time job as a wellness traveling nurse and think about the upcoming holidays.

Thanks to all who read my blog for their support - especially my husband & my talented cousin Nancy Zapata who makes wonderful lampwork beads.

Soiree in the Hills

YEA!! A wonderful opportunity presented itself and I'm setting up as a vendor. The event will be on Sept. 17th at a new winery - music, food, wine and of course me!!

I have been spending my days cleaning all my jewelry, making some new things and getting signs ready. South Boston has been so gracious in lending me tables and a tent - I'M READY TO GO DO IT! Of course this would not be possible without my hubby, Tom. I know manning a vendor table full of jewelry is not what he loves to do but he does love me so......there you go.

I have so many pretty things to sell but I'm hoping for holiday special orders. I love making initial bracelets and necklaces from infants to adults - one of a kind - how special is that???
