Maybe I Should Travel More?

by katie on August 11, 2011

We were gone for about 10 days visiting friends and family.  During that time I actually sold 4 items on etsy.com – including the earrings shown here in this post. This is a welcome and interesting turn of events – and makes me wonder if I should simply be traveling more?? LOL

Other items that sold were some of my beaded ponytail holder/hair ties as seen on the right——>

I am not doing many crafts fairs or artists markets this year – due to all the traveling we seem to be doing. So I am listing more items on etsy. You can visit my shop by clicking on the gallery on this site, or simply going to http://fireblessedart.etsy.com

I may only do one more Trinidad Market, which ends this month anyway, and perhaps the December Arcata Community Arts & Crafts Fair this year.

While we were visiting friends in Tahoe City, I found a very cute little shop that wants to carry my jewelry. I also discovered a controlled burn that the US Forest Service did that resulted in lots of broken glass. I brought a bunch back, and you can expect more recycled jewelry and windchimes as soon as I get the glass cleaned up and into the kiln!

And finally, just before I left I funded 3 more Kiva artisans. I will post their pictures and more info about them soon.

Enjoy your summer! My grandkids already returned to school (yesterday) – whatever happened to starting school after Labor Day????

54th Annual Trinidad Fish Festival

June 19, 2011

Today was a very beautiful day in Trinidad.. As happens on days when the sun shows up, it was rather windy, but in many ways that made it very nice. Except of course, that it made the booths very precarious, and I found myself spending as much time keeping my neighbor’s booth from crashing into [...]
