Oh the Cuteness!

Art Beat Bazaar was totally awesome! I think my booth display was cute, and it was filled out with an assortment of goods at lots of different price points, so I did really well! I debuted a couple new products to very positive reviews and made a ton of new owl pincushions to sell. I'll be doing a shop update this week with the new stuff so keep an eye out! Johnny came with me and manned the booth while I was wandering around photographing everything like I do when I sell at this event (I'm the official photographer!). There's a ton of photos of the other vendors and the on-stage entertainment on my flickr set (scroll to the bottom of the set to see them). Cori, one of the Art Beat organizers makes beautiful tile earrings and necklaces. Katie makes adorable plushies, clothing, and accessories! (See the little ice cream cone in the lower right? Yeah, he had to come home with me!) Brigette makes beautiful jewelry from reclaimed vintage pieces. ...

Oh man, seriously people, Art Beat Bazaar was so much fun! The musicians, Christina Baily and Kelly McFarling, were so good, and Karen Finlay, the spoken word artist, was so cute! All the other vendors were so wonderful, I wish I had taken more pictures! But I hope to be at the event again next month (It happens every 3rd Sunday), which will give me another chance to capture more. My friend Emily gave me a ride and ended up staying with me all day and helping me sell! What a gal, she's my hero! A bunch of my friends came out to say hello, and sweet Carolyn gave me a ride home. I have the most awesome friends. Ever. Anywho, here are some photos, and some fun news: I've got tutorials in the works for both the bunting banner and the enamel key and locket necklaces coming up soon! I was able to spend some time on my table for once, and even got to set it up and test it out at home. I made the table cover out of the fabric I had left from making this skirt . Luc...

Hi all! I'm pleased to announce that I will be selling my crafty goodness at a new monthly venue, the Art Beat Bazaar! The Art Beat Foundation is an organization that helps foster local artists, especially musicians. They hold an event every 3rd Sunday at the Starry Plough Pub in Berkeley that consists of local musicians, spoken word performances, and crafty vendors. I hope some of you will come by and support local artists, and as always if you mention that you're a blog reader you get a discount on my goods!
