Jewelry Care

Read a good post on a blog called Handmadeology today about taking care of your jewelry and thought I'd pass it on -

Keeping the Sparkle in your Jewelry

I like the tip about keeping your jewelry accessible so you actually wear it! I've had good success using a small box on my dresser for the things I wear frequently but you could also put something by the door so they're ready at hand as you go out.

Nightmare on Etsy Street

How fun! My skull earrings were just featured in a really awesome Etsy Treasury called Nightmare on Etsy Street. I love Halloween!

Wunderkammer

Mr. Happy was featured in a spooky Halloween Etsy Treasury today! I'm so proud :D Just look at all of those gorgeous things...*drool*

Simplicity

Wow. Made it into another Artfire collection. This one is called Simply Gorgeous. :)





Still working on some Fall designs. I've got some fun Day of the Dead things in the works. I should be able to start on photos soon. Yay!

I admit it - it's Fall

Well, it looks like I'm done with another summer's worth of street fairs and craft shows. I have no plans for any holiday shows at the moment and I'm really looking forward to taking a break from in-person vending for a little while so I can concentrate on getting my online stores in order.

One of my necklaces made it into an Artfire Halloween collection and I'm thrilled to see all of the fantastic Fall and Halloween themed stuff available out there right there right now. So fun!





I think I'm going to go make up a batch of cocoa, snuggle up on the couch and contemplate the leaves outside. :D

Belmont Street Fair is here!

This Sunday, the 12th, is the Belmont Street Fair and I'll be there in front of Paradox Cafe between 34th and 35th. It goes from 10-5 and is a good one to hit since there's a lot going on and they close the street to traffic so it's very relaxed and fun. Come on out and enjoy!
