Who Did I Tick Off????


I had a really interesting week this week. Last Friday, I was hit from behind by someone as I was going to my daughter's first production of the year at school - she's the stage manager for her school and this was the first time she was totally in charge! Still dealing with that. I "sold" (for lack of a better term) at the Delmont Apple 'N Arts Festival last weekend. It rained the entire time. The mud was 5 inches thick. They closed early on Saturday. I never opened on Sunday. I sold nothing...all that preparation I did and money I spent and now I have a pile of muddy stuff to put away. Yesterday I got a migraine and still have the migraine hangover today. Glad this week is past me.

I made several sets of these cute pumpkin earrings for the show, but if I don't disassemble them for the beads or sell the earrings pretty soon, they will go to waste! So, I am offering anyone who wants them a special price of $18 for a pair of pumpkin earrings with my own lampwork beads and my own handmade ear wires! I would normally charge $22 for them at the show, so you are getting a bit of a deal! If you want a pair, let me know. I have 6 available! I can send you a paypal invoice - free shipping too!

I am so sorry you had such a bad week and that the rain ruined your show. How frustrating and disappointing. Hope this warm weather cheers you up.

YUCK! sorry you had such an awful week. I've had horrible and rainy shows too. Nothing worse. Feel better and I hope you sell lots of pumpkin earrings, they are cute!
Hope things start going better real soon!
If I had not just received the pumpkin beads today that I ordered from you, I would definitely buy a pair of your earrings! Sorry you had such a bad week...hope your weekend is better!

Sue, what a bummer! Getting in the fender bender, then the awful, muddy show! :-( I'm sorry things were so bad this week. I hope things turn around for you this weekend! ...thinking of you!

Sorry you had such a rotten week. I hope this one is much better, and that your daughter's production was a huge success!

Each beader was paired up with another jewelry designer and tasked with sending the following: ~ A focal ~ A special clasp (not just a lobster claw) ~ Some coordinating spacers or beads Using the focal and the clasp was mandatory, but we could use anything from our own stash to round out the rest, and choose to use the coordinating beads or not.

The Tacky Earring Blog Hop

Diana Ptaszynski had a great idea, instead of a Tacky Christmas Sweater blog hop, a Tacky Holiday Earring blog hop! I was on it.  I had ideas right away.  I had so many I had to control myself.  You can buy these for $15 each, too!  Here we go! I found these awesome wreaths in the miniature Christmas section in Michaels, and they go perfectly with silver and copper colored plastic beads! These trees were found in Michaels, on an end-cap - I assume they are scrapbook or card making supplies, but make fantastic earrings.  The holes were a little small and far down, so I had to make LARGE loops.  Paired these with cute little gold colored jingle bells! And, finally, the ones I had in my head the moment she announced the blog hop.  Dr. Seuss sparkly puff balls with ribbons.  The only thing that would have made these better for me is if I could have found the red ribbons I really wanted to pair these with - don't get me wrong, the silver is cool and all, but in my head they w
