Two big fairs to go...then fun in the snow! (hopefully)

Hi Wire Harmony buddies,

I have been working to prepare for the biggest fair this year, coming up on Sunday.  I have devoted a lot of effort and time to my glass gem collection, which has bedazzled pendants and rings.  These gems have captured my imagination for a really long time, and I hope you find them as cool as I do.  They are simple, funky, unique and completely had made (except for the gem itself, of course).  These pieces allow me to incorporate my old stained glass skills and my newer jewelry making ones.  Add a little bling to any outfit, dress them up or down.

I also wanted to bring back a style that I did a while ago, the convertible necklace.  Wear it as a longer necklace, or separate the pieces and sport a short necklace and accompanying bracelet.  I love the versatility.

One of my popular earring styles has always been the Celtic knots.  Some people find the original style a bit big, so I have created a mini version!  A cute little knot that does not have as long a dangle factor.

So, in addition to the Encinitas Fall Festival on Sunday, I was accepted into the Coronado Artisans' Alley!!  I am really excited because this is a long standing high class affair with amazing artists and talent.  Acceptance is not automatic, you must be selected.  Yea!  I am really excited to be at this fair, which will be my last large scale event this calendar year.  Of course, I will continue to do the Bernardo Winery on Fridays, except for a couple around the holidays.  I will update as that gets closer.  We are heading to Santa Barbara in mid December then off to Reno, NV for Christmas.  The kids are praying for snow!
