So,it's official. I decided to quit one of my 2 P/T jobs, keeping my main one in veterinary medicine. It just became way too much to keep up with, especially with the fall show season coming, and I really need to work on creating enough inventory for all the shows I will be doing. BTW: I got into another show; found out this week, so November and December will prove to be busy months for me. Yesterday I went to my first PAVA meeting. I'm glad I joined this artist's group and wish I would have done it sooner. It's a great way to get involved with other artists, support and promote each other, and learn more about being an artist, PR, get news on events and shows, etc. I think I will learn much and hopefully grow my business as well.

It was not an inexpensive show either. It was a "girl's night out" plus weekend on the beach for the guests. I thought it would be a good opportunity, as it was advertised well, and I expected it to be only one type of each vendor, plus it sounded like it was a bit upscale. A good place to sell my hand crafted jewelry, I thought. It did not turn out that way. This was not the right venue for my artisan jewelry, and I don't think they had 30 people throught the door. Quite a disappointment to all. I thought about titling this post as, "The most expensive meal I've ever had", since they had a free pasta station, so I got to eat a small plate of bow ties and a piece of cake. I will not do this again. Live and learn. ******************** Here's a couple of ne...

I happened to walk in and find these 2 cats sharing a sleep space. The orange one, (Jinjaa) hates the grey one, (Achilles). He always chases her around and beats her up. So I was quite surprised to find them sleeping together. Luckily, I had time to run and get the camera to take these shots.

I wanted to share here my new listings from the last couple of days. I ask the question, "is there anybody out there?", because I've gotten only a couple of views in my Etsy shop and feel like I'm lost in Internet space. It's pretty bad, when I'm posting on FB , and in the Etsy forums, and team forums. Oh well, let's see what happens here.
