New Things Happening

What a great weekend. Sat. we went to the race in Martinsville, VA. The weather was rather HOT for the end of October but I'm not complaining. The best thing about Nascar's Sat. race is the lack of traffic and crowds. Seating was great as I hate being crushed into a tiny space. More interesting were the loads of redneck men.....they are more fun to watch than the race. I mean, "put you shirt on dude!"

On Sunday my hubby made me a great jewelry holder. The best part is that we had most of the wood so the whole thing cost less than $2 - I LOVE bargains. I'll get to try it out on Dec. 4th at the Danville Community Market Christmas Show. My wonderfully talented cousin & lampwork artist, Nancy Zapata is making me some wonderful beach beads so once they are complete I'll be busy making new jewels!! Thank you Nancy!

For those local to my area I hope to see you in Danville and for all others please check my FB site for pictures and prices of my jewels.

Support artists - one of a kind creations!

Fall Weekends

Fall weekends are full of things to do - we went to the Halifax County Fair last weekend, this weekend the 16th is a big race at the South Boston Speedway with another race in Martinsville the following weekend!

Our garden is all planted (had to replace a few little plants that didn't make it) and it looks wonderful. I can start harvesting the kale next week - yes, eating off the land - you gotta love it.

Planning another vendor sale. This time we'll be in Danville at their community market Christmas event on Dec. 4th - YEA!!!

Working on a new website - trying so hard to find my niche - loving the jewelry but having a hard time marketing it. I have this BLOG and a business Facebook page but having a hard time getting folks to "Like" the FB page.

Something old, something new

Fall has arrived - a welcomed relief from the heat but a bit too chilly for me. I'm not ready for long pants, sweat shirts and socks! Guess I have no choice - it's here.

I've been working on special orders from the show and a few new things. When I'm bored a tend to take pieces out and re-work them plus I've ordered a few new things to try and I still have many beautiful lampwork sets made by my cousin, Nancy Zapata. I'm hoping to sell a few of those to make into little beauties and will send the rest back to Virginia Beach for Nancy to sell.

If you are interested in birthday, special occasion or holiday presents just send me an email. One of a kind jewels make the best gifts.

On another note Tom and I spent last weekend in Natural Bridge, VA enjoying the great weather, hiking, sightseeing and relaxing. We stayed in a restored caboose!! If you want a difference experience and are heading to the Virginia mountains check this out: www.guestcaboose.com

Hope to hear from you soon!
