A bust!!

Well the Honesdale Festival of the Arts was a big waste of time. Only about half the stuff was handmade (I was assured it would all be handmade), and I was contending with $2 earrings and almost no customers to speak of. It was more like a low-end craft fair circa 1970! I did however get to spend time with my friend, and get a taste of small town life. I love some of the cute shops in town like Selina's Giving Tree, which is now carrying my jewelry and purses, and yummy ice cream stand on the corner. I'm off to Lake George where I'm going to help my roommate get their cabins ready for the summer season. Here are some new quilts I've posted on my riff raff co. etsy site.http://www.riffraffco.etsy.com

It's that time of year again, and I'm gearin' up for my first festival. It's the Honesdale Festival of the Arts in Honesdale Pennsylvania. Come on out for what is sure to be a fabulous weekend, May 22 &23. I've added purses, totes, and baby quilts to my wares, and can't wait for their launch at this fun and festive event. The sewn items are part of my new line called Riff Raff Co.. They have their own Etsy site. www.riffraffco.etsy.com

Fall Markets

Just sold my jewelry at the BUAM this past Sunday! What a party. Started out slow, but picked up with people dancing, Matt playing his congas with several local drummers, and terrific sales. I plan on doing this market again at least once this month. Next time, I'll post before I do the market, not after (sorry). I also plan on doing the Chelsea Craft Market in October and the St. Anthony's Church Market soon. I'll keep you posted.

Yorkiest Block Party

Lower East Side "Yorkiest Block Party" is this Saturday from 12-7. I'll be selling my jewelry at wholesale prices! The block party is on 7th St. between A and 1st Ave. near Thompkins Park. The web-site is: http://www.citylightnyc.com/blockparty.html

Farmer's Markets

PD Markets have created some new farmer's markets in the valley that feature both fresh produce and artisan wares! Come on out and see us on Tuesday in Sherman Oaks and Friday in Woodland Hills. I'm offering wholesale prices at these markets which is a super deal!!! For more information on these markets, visit http://www.pdmarkets.com

New Show!

It's been 9 months since I've blogged, but it has been 9 months of moving from one place to the other, making jewelry, making contacts and planning a wedding. I am planning a move to New York City in June, getting married June 13th in Las Vegas, and applying for jobs, internships, and residencies. When I sit back and look at what I do, it amazes me that I can sleep. It is just constant go go go! Well, I have a jewelry collection at the 29 Palms Creative Arts Gallery http://www.29palmscreativecenter.com/ going on right now. If you are visiting Joshua Tree, California, be sure and drive to the gallery in 29 palms. The owner, Gretchen Grunt, is awesome and features her art as well as that of some local talent. I have also started to sell at a local farmers market in Sherman Oaks, and Woodland Hills California. http://www.topangacanyonmarket.com/
Come on out and see some really talented artists and enjoy some awesome food!!!

Many thanks!

Many thanks to everyone who came to the show at Kobo Gallery. I enjoyed meeting all of you and I hope to see you again.
