Holladay Harvest Fest This Saturday

Hey everybody... Hope you all had a great long weekend.

Speaking of which, Thanks to everyone who stopped by Park Silly this past Sunday... and I hope to see some of the Salt Lake folks this Saturday evening at the Holladay Harvest Festival (4pm to 8pm) too.

I have two new rings in Gold Fill:

and a necklace I made while I was being the Featured Artist on Sunday:

Plus a lot of other stuff some of you haven't seen yet. And, best of all, I'll get to see some of you (hopefully) who I haven't seen since last year too... Definitely: the best part! ;]

So, if you can make it to the Holladay City Hall for the Harvest Festival this Saturday (the 10th) I'll be in booth space #14... though I'm not sure where that actually is... guess I'll find out when I get there.

So'k. Just look for my yellow umbrella... and me.

Come See Me Saturday...

Ok... My Mac is still waiting for the parts to get fixed. Hopefully by the end of the month. IN the meantime, all newsletter communication is suspended, since all my photos are on the Mac and it's virtually impossible for me to upload, edit and add pictures to the newsletter - or the blog for that matter - on public computers. However, I will be sending a newsletter out as soon as I can add pictures again and, I'll also put up pictures of new jewelry here too.

If you can't wait that long to see some of my new jewelry, you can always come by and see me in the parking lot of Broadview University at 240 E. Morris Avenue in Salt Lake from 11am to 2pm tomorrow (Saturday the 16th).

Thanks for being patient and wish me luck getting the computer fixed (cause I can't afford a new one right now;)!

Holiday Market in Trolley Square

Hi-lo there.

Well, I had that cold thing that was wicked and made my head feel like it was gonna explode and every tiny little bone and muscle in my body ache. I got over it, but it took more than a week. My advice: Don't get it!

Ok. That said. I'm all better. Spent a couple days getting my custom work finished - mostly - but nothing new to show you for this weekend. This what? The Holiday Market at Trolley Square...



I'll be in the Auditorium, which is to the right of the Atrium when you come in through the South Entrance off 600 S.

There's gonna be all kinds of great local arts and crafts and food AND a Food drive; so bring some non-perishables to donate.

Starts at Noon and goes to 8pm.

I'll have a nice selection of jewelry with me, but if there is something you particularly want me to bring, let me know. If I don't have what you want, I can make it for you next week and bring it on the 18th. Yep. Two Saturdays in Trolley Square in a row. So... if you can't make it to this one, you get another chance.

Yay.

See you there?!

Mayfair: In the Clouds of NM...

Well, I meant to do this before the show, but I had limited access on the trip across and down and then I had to make rings... Silver with faceted gemstones mostly...

Mayfair... Cloudcroft, NM... it's beautiful up here... amazing coming up from the heat of the desert to thick forested, back in time, mountain town in the clouds. Great people, cool mountain air, surrounded by tall pines and really nice people... Did I mention how nice the people are?

Think I might come back next year...

Sorry, no pics... maybe next year...

Tighten Up the Bulls & Bears!

Ok New York peoples... upstate and, well, really the Brooklyn peoples... Saturday I'm winging my way up to Troy to join in on my first ever Tight Knit Winter Market. Heading up there with my friend Eileen (a real artist) to share a space and spread some holiday shopping cheer.

I've got jewelry, Eileen has fine art and will be making Origami Ornaments on the spot as well. You've just got to get your butt outta bed early enough to get there (I'll be out the door at 5:30 in the morning to pick up Eileen on the way North so we can be there with plenty of time to set up before the 9am start!). Yep, Tight Knit starts at 9am and goes to 1pm so you better be quick!

Then Sunday, Phil will be joining me (probably against his will) for a full day at the Bull and Bear Market at The Invisible Dog in Brooklyn. I'll be taking whatever I have left from Saturday (and some tools and a few things to make rings on demand if I have time) out to Brooklyn to party with the Bull and Bear for the Recession Art event of the season.

For that one, you have no sleeping in too late excuses 'cause it runs from 11am to 8pm! Plenty of time to get your butts over for a handmade shopping extravaganza!

Well, I'm going to try to get a couple things made before tomorrow, so I'm off. Hope to see some of you this weekend, with cash in hand (hint hint;). Ok, I'm happy with a smiling face and a warm - I saw it on your blog - hello too...
