Too Long Away

Its been to long since my last post - Sorry! Many things have happened good and bad, thats life I guess. I will start with the good, I survived my first Contemporary Craft Market (CCM) show with the help of my BFF Suzanne; don't know if I could of done it without her or that I wanted to. Lots of people came through and Roy Helms and Assoc. did a great job organizing and advertising. The sales where good, but not great, but as I talked to other vendors it seemed to be the theme of the weekend. Even so I applied for next June's show and was excepted YEAH!

I applied for Glitterfest and was excepted YEAH! YEAH! - I have heard so many great things about this show, that I can't wait to be part of it; October 15th at the Elk's Lodge in Santa Anna. Then I received information from the people at American Art Festivals, they saw my booth at the CCM show and invited me to apply for one of their shows so I thought what the heck and applied for the San Diego Holiday Art Festival and was excepted to the San Diego show, that will be held Dec 2,3,4 at the Del Mar Fairgrounds.

Now for the bad news - our 17 1/2 year old Jack Russell, yup I said 17 1/2 has lymphoma, we decided to go the route of chemo., she has had 2 treatments and seems to be responding well, not sure of the prognosis but we are happy to have her here now and give her lots of love.

So all that being said I'm keeping stiff upper lip and pushing on.

See ya later

Contemporary Craft Market

I'm so EXCITED! I can’t contain myself; I was excepted into the Contemporary Craft Market in Santa Monica June 10, 11 and 12^th. Whoop! Whoop! This is the 26^th season for this awesome show, its held at the Santa Monica Civic Auditorium, 1855 Main Street (at Pico Blvd.), Santa Monica, CA 90401

So now the production starts, finishing new items, getting the booth layout figured out, business stuff together; I’m getting more stressed just thinking about it. I know it will all work out in the end; it’s just getting to the end that daunting.

So if any of you out there are in the area, please come and check it out. You can print out free passes at http://www.contemporarycraftsmarket.com/free_pass.html . Come and say hi, I’m at booth 432.

Will let you know how it goes….

I’m praying to the art show gods for a good show.

Spring....

Spring is here....

And Spring arose on the garden fair,
Like the Spirit of Love felt everywhere;
And each flower and herb on Earths dark breast
rose from the dreams of its wintery rest.
"Percy Bysshe Shelley; "The Sensitive Plant"

Its a gorgeous day here to day in southern California, not a cloud in the sky and 74 degrees.
I love this time of year in California, seems like everything is blooming and everything is GREEN. I love the blooming jasmine and fruit tress, I always here the song Summer Breeze by Seals and Crofts when I smell the intoxicating aromas. All the spring flowers like irises, fuchsias', daffodils showing there sweet little faces and color. And lets not forget the ice plant along the freeways showing their beautiful colors of pinks, magenta, purple, and lime green.
Our yard seems to be a haven for the birds, each year we seem to have more. In the morning they sing and flitter around, building their nests. It seems that they will build a nest were ever they can, like our Staghorn fern.
