Tonight’s the night! It’s a small gallery, but a big step for me… It’s my first forum outside my own little world. Up until now I have sold jewelry on my web store, at open houses (I booked and ran), but tonight I am in a retail setting that is totally new to me. I am excited and a little nervous, although I have sold a piece already! How I wish my husband were here to share this with me. He would be so pumped. As a salesman he understood this world of retail much better than I, and with his personality and charm, handled it with ease. This one’s for you dear…

Rutilated Quartz Surprise
I received a call last Wednesday inviting me (my company) to join the 40 plus artists at Gallery East! After my initial shock and awe, I realized not only do I have a fundraiser this month at my son’s school (my company is supplying the jewelry) but I have a jewelry show in 4 weeks! So I am working feverishly to create fabulous pieces for two large events and one fundraiser… when it rains- it pours! I am so pleased to be counted among the artists at the gallery. I have seen their work and they are a talented group. It is an honor.
So, goodbye sleep. Goodbye social life. Hello heaps of blessings. .. It’s OK, I’ll rest after the Holiday rush.. sometime in January.
