Purple Boxes and Portobello West

This is my table at Portobello West on Sunday May 30th. The purple boxes are new and I can say that I am super pleased with how they ended up looking. I finally found a way to add some colour to my display. Which it was definitely lacking before!

The over all day went really well. There wasn't a whole lot of people coming in but there was a steady stream right up until 5:00 or so. I am not doing any more shows this year until October or November. I think that it is to much of a hassle to do the out side shows that usually happen in the summer. You have to think of the elements like wind, rain and sun then modify your display to work with all that. Plus the scorching hot weather! I would rather just focus on my Etsy shop and getting my jewellery into local shops during the summer. What is everyone planning on doing for the summer? Will you do shows or focus on something else?

Tribut To Vanocuver's Creativity

I missed the treasury opening AGAIN because my computer was being slow, but I was so excited to share this collection of items made by Vancouver designers and Vancouver related items that I have to share it here!

I thought of making this treasury this morning when I turned on the TV so my son could watch cartoons and saw the torch being run past my old apartment in downtown Vancouver!! :) I though hey why not showcase some of Vancouver's talent in the spirit of the Olympics.

Designing in Style!

I am now rocking my new work space with my newly purchased Ikea headboard as a table! Check it out!...
I bought the headboard from the as-is department for 10 bucks and the legs were each 5. The table is way bigger than my old one! Ok exactly 6ft instead of 4ft!

I am excited to get working on some new designs. I think that my head and my table will be clearer and I will be more able to concentrate! I also want to decorate the room with all the cool things I can find at craft fairs and on Etsy! I love to have art and creativity all around me. It helps with inspiration too!

So...What are your studios like?

Blim, A Hot Day On Main St

So I did the Blim and car free day/ 1886 festival today and it was HOT! I got the weirdest sun burn from standing in one spot all day. My one arm is way darker than my other arm because it was on the side the sun was shining on all day. I was also wearing a t-shirt that ended up giving me a circle tan on my chest! Yay, circle tans rock!
As for the festival, it was great! There was lots of people and every one was very chatty which I like. Here is a picture of my cute little table and me!
