My newest!

I have been so busy creating because I finally booked my first show! I found it to be more difficult than I expected, because the jewelry category seems to be the most popular,  therefore it fills quickest. Some fairs accept vendors on a first come, first served basis. Others have a deadline and review applications once they are all received. Some of the fairs I inquired about have already filled their jewelry category for November shows. YIKES!

The fair I will be selling at is the Fremd High School Spring Boutique. The school is only a few minutes away from me, and from what I understand their shows have a couple hundred vendors and attract quite a crowd. The bonus for me is that it is not a juried show (meaning they don't have to "accept" you, as long as you pay them for your spot, you're in!) so I didn't have to worry about whether or not their jewelry category was full. It should be a good first show, and I will get to take photos of my display to submit with applications to other fairs.

For this show I have been trying to create jewelry and accessories in a variety of styles so that there are items that will appeal to both young and old. Here are some of the newest things I've come up with...

Puff flower necklaces

Bow bracelets

Fabric covered bead necklaces

Woven bracelets

I am also making lots of pins, hair accessories, and tiny rosette earrings. I hope to at least have a colorful, attention grabbing display... and to make back my table fee!

Any feedback on my new items is appreciated!!
