Festival Acadiens & Creoles!

Festival Acadiens & Creoles in Lafayette, LA is this weekend! This is a fabulous festival with lots of great food, great music and wonderful local crafts being demonstrated - fishing nets being made & other local talents. I'll be there as a vendor, selling my handmade jewelry. We'll be there Saturday & Sunday, 10-5 pm. Should be a wonderful weekend - hope you can come join us!

Earrings!

Here are a couple pics of some new earrings i have for the fall shows. All are sterling silver.
The first is called Out of This World - it matches the bracelet and necklace of the same name. It is a chainmaille pattern that i have recently begun making as earrings - they have been popular - i like the "knotty" look of them.



The pair above right are made with tiny daisy spacers and the y are similar to a bracelet i make called "clover chain" because it reminds me of the clover chains we used to make as kids - fun, no?
One more -these are great fun - 3 simple hammered rings looped together. they are attention getters although the design is simple. Bright & shiny!

Fall Plans

I have pretty well finalized my plans for where i will be showing my jewelry this fall. Here is the line up of shows i have planned -

October 9-10, Lafayette, Festival Acadiens et Creoles - lots of fun, lots of dancing.

October 30th, New Orleans, Palmer Park - this is the monthly NOLA Arts Council show. Last month was incredibly hot which was followed by a thunderstorm, complete with lightning - which is pretty exciting in a little 10X10 EZ Up tent....surely the weather will be better this month!

November 6-7 - Peter Anderson Festival in Ocean Springs, Mississippi - this is the first time I'll be a vendor at this show and i am really looking forward to it; i have heard great things about this show.

December 3-5 - Chimneyville Crafts Show, Jackson, Mississippi - this is the third year i have participated in this show and it's always lots of fun. It's an indoor event, which means i don't have to contend with weather - woohoo!

December 11 - Baton Rouge Arts Market, 8 a.m. - 12 a.m.; my 'home show" - the December shows are great fun

December 18- Baton Rouge Arts Market, 8 a.m. - Noon; last show before Christmas!!

So, that's the plan for the fall. I may add another date in New Orleans but i don't have that firmed up yet; it would be on Dec. 19th, if i decide to do that. It's all about have the energy at that point.

More later.
