New Earring Designs...

I had created new earrings just before last Saturday and didn't have time to post any pictures so I just took a few at the show.  Just a note...the red rose earrings in the second photo were sold last weekend and can't be repeated exactly.

Here's a shot of a new design I was creating last night...this is a small creative process mess in relation to what my studio looks like at this moment....The necklaces are something I have dreamed up for the little ones inspired by a sweet little girl who desperately wanted to have ANY necklace lace Saturday...start them young I always say....

My Next Sale on Saturday Nov 12th

I am getting ready for the next sale...it's a bit out of the way for some, but worth a little journey don't you think!  I have always loved craft sales and look at it this way - parking is way easier than the Butterdome sale...just sayin'....

Hunters Green Golf Club

Sturgeon County

9:00 until 5:00


Rather than me attempting to give directions, here is the link to the Google map

I hope to see you there!  By the way...only SIX weeks until Christmas.  (Sorry...)

It was A Great Day Yesterday!

It felt so good to be at the table yesterday! 


I meet so many wonderful artisans who are creative and brave!  Why brave?  It takes a lot of courage to put your soul on display for all to see, to critique, to walk away from or to make their own by buying a piece.  We who create truly put ourselves on the table, for I am sure most would agree when I say that my being is in each piece I create.  I wonder if those who attend the sales realize that?  


I had the pleasure of meeting an amazing photographer and couldn't resist purchasing a photo.  Carly's personality radiated through our end of the room, warming up a very cold space...literally it was freezing in the hall!  She is passionate about her work, has a wonderful sense of humor and a brilliant point of view through the lens.  Check out her website and make some of her work your own.  You will be pleasantly surprised at how affordable her beautiful work is.  Like Carly says..."Your home deserves presents too".  Love her!

I am the first to appreciate beautiful jewels when I see them, and let me tell you Ronda's pieces are special.  She has a design aesthetic that is brilliant.  I know how difficult it is to believe in your own work and how wonderful it feels to be recognized by someone else.  It's easy as an artist to be too close and far too critical of your own work and, this is where the bravery comes in - to still believe in your pieces when your show didn't get the reactions you were hoping for.  Take a moment to visit her shop and treat yourself to something special.

I didn't quite get the reaction I was hoping for from either show, but I still had fun, my sister met some inspiring people and my work met hundreds.  


If you attend a show, I hope you will think about the person who is sitting at that table and how hard they worked to produce those creations and that you will spend a brief moment at each table admiring what the artist is offering, even if it's not your style.


Speaking of...I need to get back to creating for this Saturday!

Two Sales TOMORROW!

Well..the day is finally here, ready or not!  I have been busy all day getting it all ready for you to come and enjoy!  


I will be selling at the Ermineskin Community Center from 10 until 4 ... location is 107 Street and 32A Ave...just off of 34 Avenue.  Here's the link.  By the way...there is a $2 admission fee...don't ask me why...

My sister Nicole will be at the Beau Meadow School in Beaumont.  There are 50 tables there so well worth the drive out!


I have full information in my first post.


I hope to see you there and please say hello and let me know if you found me here.  Don't forget that if you have your eye on a piece it may be sold tomorrow and no longer available!

More Jewels to Tempt You....

Oh my the first sales are getting close and I am feeling the pressure!  I have too many designs in my head and not enough time to make them all before Saturday.  This just means you will also have to come to all my other sales this month...I will be at a different location EVERY weekend in November, everywhere from Beaumont to Morinville.  


I hope you enjoy....

These remind me of snowflakes and sparkly snow!
