Urban Craft Uprising

2009-12-13T10:54:00.001-08:00

This was my first big craft show and the experience was amazing!!!! There were almost 9,000 visitors and about 200 vendors. The organizers and volunteers were so accommodating and friendly! I hope to be a part of Urban Craft Uprising again this Summer and next Winter. Here are a few photos from last weekend.

here are a couple of pics from i heart rummage this weekend where i met carolyn, a wallet/clutch designer (will post info soon, still looking for her card; carolyn-i can't find that cool card of yours, so hopefully you'll end up on my blog somehow!) that seemed super cool! we're thinking about going in on a fremont membership together.

can you spot waldo in this pic? tee hee. marissa was

being camera shy, so she would only let me take a

pic of her forehead, boo.

here's me being special, as usual.

it's my yay-i-sold-something look.

so i asked cassandra how big the tables were

before i went (it was my first time vending at i heart rummage)

and she told me that the tables were only 3' in diameter, so it

was totally my fault. i guess i didn't realize how small 3' was!

she was kind enough to give me two tables. thanks cassandra!

it was slow for the most part, but i sold a couple of things. someone bought a couple pairs of earrings and another lady bought a necklace, but other than that (oh and marrissa finally bought the tourmalinated quartz necklace she's been wanting! hope she gives me a picture of her wearing it so i can post it on here) it was pretty slow. it may have had something to do with the weather, it was gorgeous out! it would have been a great day for hiking or something.

hopefully it will be better next month! :)

a few new things...

i found someone to help me with my jewelry... my boyfriend eric <3! he helps me open jumprings while he watches tv. he only opens about 20 until he's over it, but i appreciate it anyway!! :)

THANKS FOR ALL YOUR HELP, ERIC! i forgot to thank him in an earlier post :P

i'm FINALLY moved!

2009-10-01T20:37:00.000-07:00

i've had to put production on hold for a while during the long and tiresome process of moving, but now that i'm almost settled, i'm ready to start making jewelry again! :)

i'm excited about the new place. i now have a whole room dedicated to jewelry making. and thanks to my hardworking family, it looks great! i'll have pics posted of it soon.

looking for something to do this sunday? check out i heart rummage at chop suey!

My first time selling at the Fremont market was a great success! I'll definitely be vending there again soon. Thanks to all my fam and friends who stopped by, especially my mom and aunt who stayed with me the whole day!! :) Here are a few photos...
