Wow. What a ride loved all your trips and adventures. You and your sister yet have come a long way, watching you learn and the efforts you two put forth. To be where you are at know was well worth the journey, not to mention the friends you made along the way. May all go well can't wait for the report, good luck to you both.
Thank you for your inspiration!

If I have learned anything about myself so far it’s I DON’T WORK FAST!! I’ll never mass produce anything. If I start rushing myself I mess up.

An I’m gonna take it. I’ve been thinking... my bracelets are my passion. After this week I’m going to start focusing on and possibly specializing in one-of-a-kind bracelets. If I feel lead I’ll create pieces that go with them from time to time.

Sorry for the late response Mel! Congratulations on everything! Con is a lucky man! You're logo is fabulous as is your set up! I can't wait to hear how week you do, your work is perfection!!! Not on the Withoacoochee!! Too much water. Took my Mom to Michigan to visit family. Spent the afternoon with Rob, Jugglerguy collecting some petoskeys and pudding stone goodness.

Sorry guys I thought I posted an update. The show ended up being more of a Flea Market Craft show than an Arts Festival but we learned a lot and sold a few things. I’ve taken this week off and haven’t worked at all. Trying to gear back up to get at it next week. I have 2 pocket knives, top inlay cuff bracelet and box pendant I’ve been commissioned to do for Christmas. Who needs to vend??!! Then I’m going Full On Mel and getting back to creating. New things are coming!!!

I hope the public rewards you well for all the work you have done getting to the show time, the bling and the mockup look great. Congrats on the vows too.

melhill1659 sorry to hear that it was more of a flea market. Did you take pictures of your set up to use for future applications? My daughter, best friend, and I just did our hospital craft show on Tuesday. Sold a little bit and took several orders for Christmas. But it was good to have one done. I seriously stressed about prices, displays and such. Was surprised at what sold and what didn't. Helps me understand more about the market. What I made was simple smithed jewelry items, not the cab set work that I would eventually like to sell.
