First Place!

I am excited to say that I recieved "First Place" at the 42nd Colonial Beach Arts & Crafts Festival this weekend. I also did really well selling my handmade nature-themed jewelry. Some of the biggest hits included my portrait of Hugh Laurie (from HOUSE), my handmade pmc "Mod Bird" necklaces, and my antique key jewelry.

You can view some of these items here--

One of my most favorite comments was:

"We only buy the best stuff, and you have the best jewelry on the beach"

and the fact that I named all of my jewelry theme names like "Night Fire" etc. went over really well.

Thank you to everyone for all of their support!

My next craft show will be November 8th in Falls Church at Falls Church High School located at 7521Jaguar Trail, Falls Church, VA at the junction of I-495 and Route 50. I hope to see you there!

My Second Craft Fair

SO, I did my second craft fair in Culpeper this past weekend and overall it was okay, but I didn't do as well as expected. It just wasn't my target market, but I did meet some really nice people, and I also met some very "interesting" ones.

Even though I made little profit, I can chalk it up to experience and do better on the next event which will be an arts and crafts festival in Colonial Beach, Virginia September 13th and 14th. It will be my first juried show, so I am very nervous!
