Upcoming Shows

I have been so busy with jobs, kids, traveling...I need a vacation! A week on the beach, just sitting there staring out at the ocean all day would be great...however, no vacation is in site!

I'm going to be very busy in the next two months!

Last weekend was the Long Beach Craft Fair on the boardwalk on Long Beach in Long Island. It was so incredibly beautiful...right on the beach...couldn't ask for anything better! Saturday was a great day, Sunday was a wash out! It rained and then the wind kicked up around 2 so we packed up and left. It was kind of disappointing that Sunday was such a bad day, but we roll the dice doing shows outside.

The next shows I will be showing at are:

Sunday 9/26- Atlantic Antic in Brooklyn
Sunday 10/3- Hoboken Craft Show
Sunday 10/10- Nyack Street Fair
Saturday 10/16- Crafts in Chelsea

Whew...four shows back to back might just put me over the edge...but I will try and keep it together!

I hope you can come to see me at one of the shows!

Carnivals, Fairs, Summer, Fun

As the end of summer is in site, we are trying to do as much "summer fun" things as humanly possible in the next few weeks. One of the thing we all enjoy is Rye Playland. The kids love it, we love it... fun for everyone!

I draw inspiration for my work from so many places. I love carousels, ferris wheels, all the color of amusement parks.

Here are some really great pictures from Etsy of all things I enjoy...hope you do too!!!

Natural Stones Inspire Me

Natural stones of all kinds really inspire me. I love the colors and inconsistencies that natural stones have. I have started making a lot of pieces, just with stones...no other pendants, metals, or anything else mixed in. I really like big, chunky necklaces and bracelets and am wearing one now that is a triple strand made with citrine, amber garnets, seashells and some other stones. I will try and post of picture of it shortly.

What else can I make??? There are so many possibilities!

It's August Already???

I can't believe it's August already! I am busy signing the kids up for their fall classes and thinking about what school supplies, cloths, and shoes we need before the start of next month.

I love summer. Love everything about it. Well, maybe not the humidity. It has been EXTRA hot this summer in NY. I love the heat, but add in the humidity and I need another shower as soon as I head out of the house!

I have a busy month ahead of me. I am doing a show on the Long Beach Island boardwalk on Long Island in a few weeks. I've never been so it'll be a new experience for me and looking forward to doing a lot of business. I'm also thinking about my every-changing set up and display. Will take pictures and post after the show for all to comment on!
