"Hello All...I just received a bit of clarification, for the directionally challenged among us...me being the most challenged of all, on the way to the golf club. I hope this helps!
Access to the golf course - you can use 127 Street north to Twp Rd 542 and turn right. go 2 km and we are on the right. You can also use 66 st or 82 st and go north to Valour Ave (195 Ave). Turn left and follow the road west over the overpass and then go 1 km and we are on the left side."

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

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!
