Top is Kimberlee Edgar or "Edgar & Edgar". She is truly a little devil! Absolutely wonderful girl! And her Mom too!

Then it's Cynthia Morehouse and a terrific selection of her "Day of the Dead" jewelry!

Here are Kim Kostka and Kerri Judd behind their tables filled with fantastic hand painted pumpkins, beautiful velvet fleurs, and handmade treasures!


And finally, Caroline Carrera of "Twigs" specializes in crystal embellishments. Every frame and lamp is embellished by hand with vintage crystals and rhinestones! I think hers was one of the sparkly-est tables!

This is just the first aisle! I will post more soon!

As the Sparkle Fades Away.....

Well, Glitterfest Fall has come and gone and with it's passing I shed a little tear of regret that it's over so soon. I cannot express the wealth I feel sharing an afternoon with so many beautiful, creative and downright nice women! Every one of the artists at Glitterfest is a true treasure in themselves. So willing to share their knowledge and experience, their craft and techniques, and a bit of themselves along the way. I was in awe of each of them! What a wonderful sparkley, spooky collection of whimsy! I want to say "Thanks" to each of them as well as to each person that attended our event. I hope you had as enchanting a day as I did! I especially want to thank my friend Stacey Steimle. Not only is she full of energy, grand ideas, & advice, but she is consistantly there to keep me focused and on task! She is my other "rock" and for that I am truly indebted to her! Keep your eyes open for Glitterfest Spring...it won't be long now!

Time is of the Essence!

You know, I really enjoy all the processes that Glitterfst requires. As an artist, I am always attempting to make everything for our artists special in some little way, just to let them know how excited I am they are joining me for a truly magical day!

I just completed the first cache of packages for our group. Mind you, it took several days and many tense muscles, but they have been graciously released into the world to surprise and motivate all the creatives muses of Glitterfest!

This is the beginning of the storm of activity I will endure and conquer for that wonderful, spooky day in October! I hope you will join me in welcoming the fall season and our Glitterfest Gals on October 10th!

I've been busy....again!

I have been very dedicatedly been busy. I have lost weight from being busy. My brain is oozing with ideas and visions of what's next! I LOVE that feeling! The only thing is I don't want to do anything else! This includes-cooking, cleaning, straightening, gardening, snacking, shopping, & sleeping! The necklaces are very royal, very fun! And do you remember the Harlequin dolls of the 8o's? Dianne found these, ripped off their ugly clownish garb, & I made them new clothes and gave them all festive party hats!

This is just some of what I am up to-the rest is a surprize for Fall!
