Show Photos.

So I just completed the last in a series of four shows and man am I tired! It was a blast! Crafty Wonderland's Holiday show was especially amazing... A big thank you to everyone who showed up! I met so many great people and received such positive feedback. I feel so lucky to live in a city as supportive as Portland! I was so busy that I forgot to take pictures of my displays at my Holiday Party, the Flutter Trunk Show or Crafty Wonderland (I was especially proud of that one too!)... but here's a glimpse of my set of for the trunk show at the lovely Ginger Salon.

I Got Glasses!

I feel like a new lady! After years of working on jewelry so close to my face it turns out I'm nearsighted! I had to find out the hard way... the DMV told me I couldn't see very well when I went in to renew my license. Instead of getting bummed out I was actually really excited because it meant that I could go to Hollywood Vintage and pick out a pair of fancy vintage frames. It's amazing how well I can see now!
