You know, I thought I was on cloud nine when I got my magazine issue on Tuesday... but I was wrong, I am even higher with excitement now.
Today was my best day ever! I feel terrible that I don't have many photos for you but there just wasn't the time. I actually had a line in my booth at one point. I had some of my favorite pieces sell, I am kinda sad to see them go. "Autumn Threads","Fiesta", "Breeze", and "At The Playground" are all off to new homes. Out of two dozen bangles, I am down to 5. I am trying to mark things as sold on my website. I am so relieved I didn't spend a ton of time putting everything up on my website just to have to take it down. I will have to make updates this week with what pieces are left after the second day of the show, tomorrow.
I had a WONDERFUL helper today. Lauren's speech therapist, Susan, who I have really gotten to know over the past year & a half, was there to be my buddy first thing in the morning. She was such a great help. She has many years of retail sales experience under her belt and was busy rearranging/straighten/boxing/writting up jewelry with me. She even got some Hoilday shopping done too. We filled up with lots of roasted cinnamon almonds and a crepe for lunch.
I am really tired so I hope this makes sense and that I haven't made too many spelling errors, LOL. My sister will be with me tomorrow! I will try to make one or two things tonight to fill in gaps but for the most part, I think it will be a pretty easy day.
Thanks so much for all the supportive emails you all have been sending! I really appreciate it!

Kerry, I too - like you, am on Lake Ontario - I'm in Burt, NY (Newfane) but live my weekends in a house that my father (recently passed) built in the Fingerlakes (East side of Keuka Lake).
THANK Goodness to him for showing us the area - our Love of the area and appreciation of the beauty that beholds us each morning - the view of the lake & the bluff have never waned. (Probably my Dad, who pronounced every day a "celebruios day" was because in my Dad's mind, it was 70 degrees and sunny, no matter what the weather, to him it was always perfect...I wish I inherited his outlook on life....") We would've been totally absorbed in work - had my Dad not insisted on showing us the "finer things in life = PEACE...QUIET...MORE hard work...LOVE of family....and every day we miss him for it...
Just have to say LOVE...LOVE your work. I've been flameworking on a hothead ever since a class at Corning 2 yrs ago. So addictive. Just wanted to say I'm so happy to see a local girl do good, and how much inspiration you give to "budding artists" like myself who can only dream of doing a show - Thanks for your BLOG and your postings.
