finally 40

tomorrow!
I turn 40!

wowza.

To make the day the best it could be for me I decided I needed to have a sale, and that way maybe I could wake up to some money in my paypal account.
Tacky?
Maybe.

But it's a great sale. Really! I've been photographing jewelry for days now and at 11:59 EST tonight I'll be listing it in my etsy store. Everything there will be 10-40% off and if you spend $100 you get this heart for free!


The sale will run for 40 hours. Hopefully I'll be able to stay awake until midnight to get it rolling ;)

I think tomorrow after I pick Isabel up from playschool we'll go pick out a fancy little cake from Wholefoods. Much better than having to clean up the kitchen.

Happy Birthday to me!

another show, another new store

omg how yummy do those look???
Those amazing looking treats are from Lavender Moon Cupcakery in Old Town Alexandria, VA.
Last weekend at Art on the Avenue the owner came to a screeching halt in front of my giant cupcake pendant display and promptly chose a fantastic selection to sell in her new bakery.
YAY!
Click HERE for more info on her new shop.

Also, this weekend I'm at Sugarloaf in Gaithersburg, MD. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE come see me if you can. It's a 3 day show and I'm by myself all 3 days.

Art on the Avenue

I'm almost ready!
As soon as I get Isabel to bed I'll be in the garage trying to get the car packed.
If you're in the DC/MD/NoVA area please come see me HERE.
This is always one of my favorite shows.

It's going to be hard for me to ship anything in the next 2 weeks, but my favorite online store SHANALOGIC has red hearts and marshmallow cream cupcakes in stock & ready to go.

See you later!!!

baby cupcakes

I never make little beads but for some reason yesterday I made a ton of these little guys.



If you're coming to Art on the Avenue this Saturday I'll have a bunch of different "flavors" to choose from. For now, the chocolate strawberry ones are in my etsy store.

I never get to be on etsy's front page!



Thanks PEtra and Cath for the heads up!

almost done

I'm finally taking the plunge into wholesale.
It's a little scary because basically you do all the work for 1/2 the pay, but it should cut done on the amount of traveling I have to do for shows. Although....and don't tell anyone this....since I've discovered priceline I've been enjoying some nice hotels instead of sleeping on friends' couches. Too old for that! You can get the best deals if you name your own price if you can get past the fact you don't know exactly where you'll be staying until after you pay.

Today I'm packing up my first large wholesale order for shanalogic. LOVE this site & Shana is the best person to work with. She's had my work on consignment for a year or so now, but it sells so well she's talked me into wholesaling to her.






I just need to put those hearts on the their chains and this order is outta here!!!
