really.... some day... i give it a year.

so.... as some of u know i am in the middle of creating a line of jewelry mostly earrings...other pieces too
i want to incorporate this necklace made out of recycles items.. shh its a secret and i will get to that later...right now its in the beginning stages, but i think it will be out of the ordinary and really marketable any way...i digress....some cute cuffs...and other items that would tie into the overall concept of this line..all hand made..
i am really writing this post...as well more of a diary entry..
my goal it to be doing this for a living in a year and i feel this in not an inconceivable route to be taking.
once i get my stuff photographed i will be well on my way.
i will have a website, a catalogue, samples and i will be taking my stuff to various places to sell.
but what i really want to do is go to the trade shows and sell my line whole sale. 
this all seems like a pipe dream in a way , but to me i really thing it could grow into something amazing really great for me and my jet setting wanna be life goals......
we will see i will keep anyone posted who gives a crap

green lego robots


from my totally original series of  "toys as jewelry" i give you green lego robots.
these lego robots could also be morphed into a variety of different things, use your imagination and i will use mine, lets bang out heads together and come out with something sweet. 
$15.00

circles and triangles


these were some of my first earrings that i created
i found the orange triangles at a garage sale
hideous old lady necklace
broke it apart and saved the beads to make more repurposed jewelry
love them take them off my hands....$10.00

pink balls


its been almost a year and i am still here 
here meaning alive and well..
here meaning still chugging along at Panera
i still think about and love creating stuff for piece by piece
i just had to take a break due to work load and buying and selling a house
here are some nifty earrings ...
these guys need a new home..$15.00

to the MARKET we will go...

OK, my efforts in stepping it up a knotch or two landed me head first into the local open air market. 

Market at the Square @ Lincoln Square in Urbana Illinois

it was very windy, but all in all it was a wonderful experience
i learned a LOT, mostly what i will be doing differently

  • i figured that i need to weigh down the tent..
  • display my stuff vertically and have more tables..
  • that is the short list..

the other vendors are awesome 
very helpful
great stuff
the patrons are curious and eager to chat

all in all i am looking forward to next time.....
sat sept 27

i want to give a shout out to everyone who came out in the not so lovley weather
thanks
