Summer is here!

Ok Summer isn't "technically" here but it's 90 degrees out and vending season is in full swing!

Jeez it's been so long since I posted I don't even know where to begin!

I guess I'll start with what's been my goal for the last few years...

I got in to Market Day!! WOO HOO! Here's a picture of the June Market Day. My table is pretty sad in my opinion. I need to work on my displays. My issue is I enjoy making the jewelry a lot more then the "business" stuff.

But I've had fantastic response to my work...and even my display! It's been great so far meeting so many different people. Vendors and customers. I love doing this!

My next show is Reiman Gardens Art in the Garden on July 7th.

Very excited about this one. I was here last year and the response was great. The only bad part was the weather. Typical Iowa summer. One minute a thunderstorm is rolling through and the next it's 100 degrees with 1000% humidity.  Hoping for a lot better weather this year!


On a brussels sprouts note:  Fried Brussels Sprouts from Zombie Burger + Drink Lab!  Otherwise known to me as "HEAVEN"

Spring is the time of new beginnings....right?

I've had an extremely crappy winter. I'm so ready for spring. 
Trying to concentrate on learning and making new pretty stuff and maybe finally find that "one thing" that I can call my own.  My husband gave me a few new jewelry ideas that I 'm super excited to try out.
Want a hint?  Recycled broom handles!! What the what? Should be able to finish the first proto type this weekend.

Monday I will find out if I was accepted in one of the first craft shows of the spring. Very nervous but optimistic.  There's another craft show application that opens on April 1st so I'm trying to concentrate on that.
OH and exciting news...
I was invited to be a vendor at the First Annual Central Iowa Yoga Retreat in May! YAY ME!!
Making some yoga and zen inspired jewelry. Ommmmmmm

So busy and exciting spring.
I'm SO ready
