Holiday Wishes

Just wanted to wish everyone a happy holiday season and wonderful new year. All the best in 2012!

Claremont Village Venture

One of my favorite art shows is coming up on October 22nd. The Claremont Village Venture is a must if you are a fan of handmade and unique gifts. A huge show, it boasts over 500 art and craft vendors. The community supports this show and people come from all over Southern California once a year to enjoy a day in the fabulous small town atmosphere of Claremont, California. They have a morning parade and costume contest for kids but my favorite part is seeing the dogs dressed up in their Halloween finery. I've seen bumble bee dogs, devil dogs, surfer dogs, etc. It is a super fun day for everyone. If you're in the area, please join me in support of this wonderful event. I'll be on 2nd Ave., booth space #388.

Coronado Artwalk

Mark September 17 &18th on your calendar as the Coronado Art Walk will return to the Ferry Landing. You don't want to miss this wonderful art & craft event along the waterfront. My booth is across from Candelas Restaurant. The show is from 10-5 both days.

San Clemente Art & Craft Festival

On August 20th & 21st, the San Clemente Art Association will host their annual Art & Craft Festival at the Community Center downtown. Please come out for a lovely day of fun in the sun. I'll be there with some awesome new beach glass jewelry designs.

My Wonderful Customers

It is always my goal to have happy clients and it is always a pleasure to hear from them.

Once in a while a customer will write me a special note, sharing their personal stories as to why a piece of my jewelry is meaningful to them. I've received several stories in regards to my Pennies From Heaven Locket. My favorite one was from a girl who had received it as a gift last Christmas. She was so overwhelmed with emotion and grateful that I had made such a perfect necklace for her. You see, her mother, whose name was Penny, had just passed away. She loved the necklace so much and said it was a perfect keepsake to honor her mother.

I'm so lucky to have such wonderful customers! They take the time to send me kind words, thank you notes and great photos.

Thanks so much to all of you! I truly appreciate it.

Montrose Arts & Crafts Festival

On June 4th & 5th the town of Montrose will be hosting their annual Arts & Crafts Show.

This will be my 6th year participating and I'll have my newest jewelry designs on display. As usual, there will be food and fun for the whole family and, of course, awesome artists. Show hours are 10-5 daily.

Happy New Year to Everyone!
