WOW! What a crazy few months...it's been a true pleasure meeting all of you out there at the various art fairs. Plymouth proved once again why it is one of my favorite art fairs (that and Milford) the people are so nice and truly appreciate my work, the atmosphere is fab and the sales are always great (which really is the main reason I do this - I know...shocking!)
My art fair help has been my saving grace! My son Kody even had to pull a few shifts in Mt. Clemens (I believe he was a little board, but I couldn't blame him - he did an awesome job!) A huge thanks to Juli, Julie, Jayme, Christi, Carina and Kody.




Flint is a fantastic little art fair - perfect mix of artists and beautiful grounds of the Flint Institute of Arts. I really hope to get into that show again next year!


Chicago's Custer fair was a bust (sorry Custer Fair) and I would suggest avoiding it to all artisits!!!! However, Julie was great company and we did finally learn to laugh about the odd crowd and lack of sales - just flat out wierd!!! I finally started taking pictures of the crazy street performers, flea market booths and hippie vibe. (Aren't you sorry you missed it?) We did, as always meet a few nice people and am thankful for that. (Thanks FireHouse pub for letting us ride out the storm with some friendly locals!!)





Ann Arbor was long and grueling - ahhhhhhhh! Kings Courtyard was a great place to be and a heart felt thanks to Danette and her husband Bob for taking such great care of us. It was all in all a good art fair and probably wouldn't have been quiet so exhausting if I hadn't just come off of three days in Plymouth with only one day at home to make more jewels.


There was even a dog that came into my tent wearing a dress that matched my booth - gotta love it!!
I'm heading back to Chicago for one more art fair this weekend. This will be a wonderful show put on by Amdur Productions. It is in Skokie at Westfield Old Orchard July 25 & 26 and is a fine art fair. After that....one of my favorites - MILFORD Aug. 7, 8 & 9. Then Sept. with Rochester Art & Apples and Birmingham Art in the Park.


By the way....there has been some pretty cool jewelry along the way..............







I look forward to seeing many of you again this art fair season and can't thank you enough for your business. And yes......I'm busy getting all your "Imprint" orders done :-)
