Markets and Rings

So, I have a newish ring design - three of each bead and three metals (well, all Copper but two are plated and then they're all enameled so they're non tarnish...) AND five new faceted gemstone rings in Argentium Silver for this weekend's Markets. See:

How does $10 each sound? Well, that's what they're gonna be. Sizes range from 4 to 8 and each one is a different size... half sizes, quarter sizes, eighth sizes, nine different sizes in three metal and three bead choices so you can see which one fits best... as always; no two are exactly alike.

Or, get a new non tarnish Sterling Silver faceted ring:

There's a London Blue Topaz (size 5), Lab Ruby (size 4.5), Natural Blue Sapphire (size 7.5), gorgeous Natural Amethyst (size 7 and a bit more unisex), and a Natural Garnet (size 6 1/8). All very different and very lovely on.

Ok, that's my shill for this weekend.

Downtown Salt Lake, Pioneer Park, on 400S by the ATM from 8am to 1pm. Park City, Main Street by Zooms and the back entrance to the Kimball Center from 10am to 5pm.

Maybe I'll see you there? Maybe I'll be square? Maybe I'll have funny hair? Do you care?

Ok. I probably should get a little more sleep? Maybe...

Craft Lake City, Here I Come!

So... Hope you all had a good 4th!

Found out I got accepted to the 2nd annual Craft Lake City Arts & Crafts Show at the Gallivan Center in Salt Lake... coming up mid August and hosted by Slug Magazine (who did an interview with my cousin Matt last year).

That's good.

Should be a rip roaring good time... as a matter of fact... and I'm taking that day off the Downtown Market so I don't get burnt out by the end of the night. See, I get up at 5am so I can be ready to drive an hour to get set up by 8am... then go to 1pm. The CLC show starts at 2pm and goes to 9pm, with music going later. So, if I go to the Downtown Market, then I'll have to pack up early to be set up by 2pm and I'll be totally wiped out by 5pm so... I wouldn't be able to enjoy it as much.

Plus, I plan to do a full (two table) set up under a tent for Craft Lake... but, I'll rant more about it later when I give more details in August.

Right now, I'd like to direct your attention to some pictures:

I'm in the process of making new rings this week, so I'll show you those on Friday so you know what to expect for next weekend's Markets. Oh, and please: Feel free to e-mail if you want anything you see posted and can't make it to the Markets...

Feel free to e-mail if you want custom work, or want to host a Jewelry Party... or leave a comment if you just want to say something about something that says something.

Ok. Well...

Yep.

Friday.

More then...

The Fourth is FREE!

Well, I'm not working a show anyway...

Will be at the Downtown Salt Lake Arts and Crafts tomorrow though, in the same place along 400 S in Pioneer Park. I made a couple new little Catseye pendants... had to order more wire so I can make some more knot rings and cameo pendants though... oh, and I had to order more cameos too... so... you'll get more of those next weekend.

Hope everyone has a great 4th weekend!

Freedom!! ;}

Last June Weekend Under the Sun

Well, it's time for another weekend of outdoor vending fun!

Listening to Phil's latest composition and sweltering in my little trailer studio (give you visual next week;). Checking e-mails and getting ready to put my Etsy store on hold while I head to bed so I can get up at 5am to get to Salt Lake City by 7am... it's an hour's drive...

Yes, back in the same place in Pioneer Park along 400 S tomorrow morning from 8am to 1pm and then up early again on Sunday to hang out on Main Street in Park City for the Silly Sunday Market.

Got my silly hat this time... unless it's too windy (whew it was brutal that wind last weekend!) Gonna be bright and sunny both days though - and a mild mid 80's in the high desert sun.

If I look wilted by the time you get there, please feel free to bring me back some ice and try again. Thanks!

See you there - if I see you there.

Gettin Silly on Sunday

Well, I survived the rain last Saturday (thanks to Kristin for letting me borrow a canopy!!) and will have a sunny day to test out my new umbrella tomorrow AND Sunday.

Yes, my weekly stint in Pioneer Park continues on Saturday and then, on Dad's Day (happy happy to the dads!), my first day at the Park Silly Sunday Market. Hurrah!

Did I mention my umbrella is Lemon Yellow? Well, maybe Canary... it's yellow. And I'll be under it both days.

I have rings for dads too... you know.

And for Grads...

And for, um, yep.

Anyway. Saturday, Downtown Salt Lake 8am to 1am. Sunday, Main Street in Park City from 10am to 5pm. On the 400 S side of Pioneer Park on Saturday (in the middle on the street side by the giant ATM machine). Between Heber and 7th on Main Street on Sunday.

Hope to see you there!

Come to the Market

Well, I got back from NM - Cloudcroft was fun and so was the stroll through all the National Parks on the way down and back up - and almost immediately the river we cross to get here started flooding and washed the road away on our side; first time since anyone remembers. That got fixed, then I got sick.

However, I feel much better, even though it's pretty cold and rainy today... And, it's my first Saturday at the Downtown Salt Lake Arts & Crafts Market in Pioneer Park tomorrow. Looks like the arts and crafts will mostly be along the 400 S side of the park - that's where you can find me on the street side close to 300 W (in space B18 incase you know where that is;).

Looks like I'll be out in the open tomorrow, so make sure you come by and keep me company. I've got the umbrella, just no base to put it in (supposed to be here next week;) so I'll have a big straw hat on if it's sunny... and if it rains... well... I hope it waits until we're all packed up... ;]

Ok. I have a ton to do to get ready for my EARLY rise tomorrow (before 5am!) so, I'll put some pics up next blog....
