Bust Purchases

I didn't get to do much shopping this weekend because, frankly, I have bills to pay lol! But I did treat myself to a few goodies at Bust on Sunday.  It is 10 days until my birthday after all.

I cannot be in the same room as TattooedGeek without leaving with some candles, and look how festive! Tis the season!  I don't know how many candles I have purchased from them. I've lost them.  Their scents are the best.

A lavender bar of soap from Meow Meow Tweet. I can't wait to start using it.

I think other than my own shop of course, my favorite jewelry shop has to be Jantar. I fell in love with this lotus flower.  I have already received many compliments from it when I wore it work today. Would it be silly to wear this every day? I know I make my own jewelry but damn I love this necklace!

I was chatting with Nguyen from KnitKnit when I noticed she was wearing these adorable felt leaf earrings. When she mentioned that she was selling them, I had to have them. I just had to have them!!

The aftermath

A shot of the Holiday Handmade Cavalcade on Saturday.  Can you see me? It's like finding Waldo. I'll give you a closer look...

 

Ta da! With a cup of joe in my hand. Lord knows I needed it.  Can't start any day, especially a day of selling, without it.  I didn't get a chance to take photos. It was pretty busy and crowded most of the day so I didn't leave my table too much. It was a good selling day, I was expecting to do a little better but on paper, it was probably my third best selling day after last year's Holiday Handmade Cavalcade (will I ever have a show like that again???) and the Bust Craftacular yesterday. Which leads me to Bust!

More madness! But it was so nice to show up at a place with only a suitcase and a backpack and given an 8 foot table to work with.

 

I think this was my best display yet and it paid off.  I was not nearly as stressed out as I thought I was going be.  It was actually a fun day. I was in a good location with good lighting and not too close to any speakers so I didn't have to shout to any customers.

 This cute little fella snuck under my table as the owner was browsing. He had big Yoda ears.

 

I guess he didn't find what he was looking for but look at that cute skull sweater. :)

I didn't do any shopping on Saturday but I did on Sunday which I will share in a separate post. I have to finish taking pictures for it.

Closed for the Holidays

The Black Friday/Cyber Monday madness is over!

I know it sounds crazy but I am closing my shop this week in preparation for this weekend's double-duty selling extravaganza! If you are in New York City this weekend, this is your chance to check out my jewelry in person, pick it up, try it on and purchase without worrying about shipping cost! =D

SATURDAY, December 5th

SUNDAY, December 6th at booth #134

And in my mind, I am doing this....

But that's ok, this is NOT a bad situation to be in - as I keep  having to remind myself.  So I need to focus on my inventory and continue working up until late Friday night.   Sincerest apologies if you visit the shops to find them closed.  My goal is to reopen again by December 15th. 

Weekend Recap

I hope everyone who celebrates Thanksgiving had a lovely holiday with delicious food and safe travels.  I'm envying any of you who had pumpkin cheesecake - I've seen your photos. :)

We had a pleasant surprise at our door Wednesday morning.

Isn't this a pretty bouquet? Makes for a wonderful (and large!) centerpiece.  Otherwise, I had a very fulfilling Thanksgiving dinner Thursday, bummed around Friday and sat in front of the computer adding items to Etsy and promoting my free shipping - which ends TODAY btw, took a break Friday night for some coffee in Peekskill.

Saturday was a beautiful day and I couldn't stay cooped up.  I paid a visit to fellow team mate from the Hudson Valley Etsy Team, Letitia from MaryJane's Heirlooms who was selling at the Van Wyck Homestead Museum 15th Annual Craft Boutique.

It was very cute place. We had some yummy apple fritters. My boyfriend treated me to an early birthday present, a pretty brooch from Letitia. I put it on my coat right away

Isn't it beautiful? I love love love the colors. I can wear this so many items. I can't wait to show it off some more.

Otherwise, I have been working on more pieces for next weekend. Here is a sneak peek.
