Mini Photo Shoot

My good friend Rachel called me up the other day and asked if I was free to come over, have some lunch and do a mini photo shoot of my new jewelry for the holidays. I am a sucker for free food and cool people so of course I headed right over to her place, where we spent the a few hours pulling decorative items off her shelves and walls + using them a props to style the shoot! It was so much fun, Rachel has such a great eye.  I always love to see how someone else is going to display and show off the jewelry I make. (How cute are those bracelets hanging from the tree like ornaments?!)

Rachel will be helping me at the Cleveland Bazaar Holiday Show this weekend, so be sure to come by and see us!

Crafty Supermarket / Cincinnati

A few favorites from the show : Chevron Beaded bracelets : On the Lookout / Fork Tine earrings : Spoons And Such / Dipped Triangle earrings : Line & Loop / Unicorn Magnet : Happy Bungalow

The Crafty Supermarket was this past Saturday in Cincinnati and it. was. AMAZING! I was lucky to have two friends make the trip with me I am so grateful they were there to help chat with everyone + manage the crowd.  At 4,000 shoppers, this was the biggest show I've ever done.  It was a phenomenal day and equally as exhausting!  I sold out of a lot of things, but luckily I brought supplies to make more bracelets on the fly -- People where buying them freshly made, right out of my hands!

My friends and I stayed at the 21C Museum Hotel in downtown Cinci.  This space is a perfect mash up of hotel + modern art museum in one.  The decor of the room was minimal and crisp, with pops of weird art here and there.

Crafty Supermarket happens twice a year and the talent there was so great. I hope I get the chance to take OTL on the road back to Cinci veryvery soon!
