Tina and I had a great weekend catching up at the Art & Orchard art fair. She insisted on getting us a beautiful hotel in Rochester and we had a fabulous "rotic" dinner
...(that's "romantic" without the "man" in case you didn't know.)

It really was soooo wonderful - thanks my sweet friend!

Ahhhhh Spring has finally sprung! I can't believe it's been sooo long since I've posted anything (I know... as I've said before, for those who know me, it's no surprise).

Life is just a little hectic as I'm sure it is for all of you. Between the Holidays, 3 kids playing basketball (what a long grueling season), getting my taxes done, the loss of a dear friend, my daughter playing the part of Dorothy in the school musical, both boys in track with Invitationals every weekend, and now tournament baseball - whoo hoo!! It's amazing that any jewelry gets made!!!! I do LOVE my life and cherish every busy moment.

I've posted my Art Fair dates for 2010 so please scroll all the way down the blog and check them out. I will be at a show this weekend May 8th at Clarkston High School and then start the outdoor season with MSU May 22 & 23. If you need a last minute Mother's Day gift let me know in the next day or so....and hats off to all of you who ordered early. Imprints are the perfect Mother's day Gift!

Hope this post finds you all well and I look forward to seeing you very soon.

Hey everyone - Ware "Imprints" are the perfect gift idea for Christmas but you'll need to order soon. Go to old blogs from 2008 at the right and there are FAQ's about imprints. They are $32 for the chain and one disc and $8 for each additional disc. Yes....I am almost caught up on orders that have been placed, hopefully they will all be out by Dec. 4th - FYI Thanks!!!!

Merry Christmas and a Blessed 2010!

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 :-)

2009 ART FAIR DATES now posted @ the bottom of the blog!! Come and check out some of my new designs! Hope to see you all this summer!

Lots of new "Imprint" styles! Don't forget about Mother's Day...it's the perfect gift.
