cali cali ... (okay so that song stuck in my head for all of you who remember LL Cool J when he used to sing and not act ) 

I am gearing up for the huge Glitterfest show in Santa Ana this weekend and can't wait !!!
I am also super excited about this new venture ...

I now have over 20 Reps and am in 3 showrooms in the US  .... super exciting !! Its all been kind of a whirlwind ! SO as you can imagine I am trying to keep up with the blogging and the business stuff too ... but I still have some exciting plans for changing up the blog a little including some new "whats on her desk" ... what i would like to do is just show you what I am up to with more photos etc and "whats inspiring her today " with blogs and photos that are inspiring me !   so look for more photos and more posts coming soon !!! 

thanks so much as always,

xoxo,

beth

she is honored...

WOWZERS did i have a wonderful time at the Junk Bonanza !!! IT was AMAZING to say the least ... so many wonderful people vendors, shoppers and bloggers...... Unfortunately the bad news is I brought my little camera and not my big monster so I didn't end up taking that many photos ... but I met several wonderful women who did take wonderful photos and am happy to now call them friends !!! So go to their links so that you can see much more ..... this was the booth across from mine called hunt and gather ... Tracey ( aka French Larkspur ) got some wonderful photos of their booth ...

Here is a glimpse of my booth on day one  :

I got to meet so many many wonderful new friends and ran into lots of people I knew too !! It was such a wonderful time !! so be sure to check out these friends blogs to see more Becky, Traci, Jenn, Suzanne, Gretchen and Tracey....

until next time

what she's been up to....

so besides moving my entire house and studio (in the 100 degree plus heat) I have also been busy creating lots of new things for the upcoming Junk Bonanza event that takes place at the same time the Creative Connection event is going on ......   Here are a few of my new pieces that will be joining me ...  

so I have been busy putting things away and organizing and setting up a wonderful new studio that I cant wait to share with you...

I have also made a couple new halloween pieces for the fall :

well next week i am off to minnesota but I have some new plans for my blog .... lets just say you will get to see a much better view of my studio and what i am working on ..........

so until next time ,

she is moving ..

Yep we are in the process of moving our house AGAIN ... I know I know but this time we are hoping to stay a bit longer (we have had alot of issues with our current rental , which is a whole other story )  But this time I am going to have a huge studio 20x20 to be exact which is almost double the space .. . and I have some magical things planned for this space ( hint... you will be able to visit ) and the remodel has already begun ... don't worry our new landlords are perfectly okay with me remodeling their garage !   SO .. i may be absent for a another week or so but I will be back with lots of new photos and how my new studio space is coming along !!! 

In the meantime though I wanted to give a shout out to The Creative Connection Event ... I was so honored that Jo Packman and Nancy Soriano asked me to create some unique jewelry pieces for there event !! So if your going and you will definitely want to check it out !!!I will be doing the Junk Bonanaza which coincides with TCC.  So I can't wait to see all the wonderful ladies attending both !!!!!!

until next time,

She had a great time ...

I know I have been a bad blogger lately .. things have been a bit busy after the tradeshow and now that we have decided to move to a new home ( with a much bigger studio for me, more on that soon ) it will probably get a little bit crazier. But I wanted to share some of the photos from the Tradeshow at Beckmans in LA ....
After Heather and I set up the booth we were able to sneak away to the beach for the afternoon which was very refreshing since there is nothing like the beach and feeling the salty air and sand...
The Tradeshow was a ton of fun... and although the LA market was slower then usual from what we heard ...we made several new friends and met lots of new fun boutique stores and reps....so next week I will be heading to Art Unraveled ... can't wait to see all my art friends soon !!

Hope you have a wonderful week,

She loves cake ...

So yesterday was my birthday ... and one of my favorite presents is this wonderful crown I got from my mom at Glitterfest this spring ....... its made by the uber talented Michelle Legler (aka Mosaic Queen) ... I have been collecting her work for awhile now ... My first piece was this wonderful cake that my mom surprised me with for Christmas .... it says "she eats cake" ..... for my birthday we ate dinner at a fun family style restaurant and when they brought out the desert for everyonewe all laughed at how big it was ... now i didn't get cake ...yet.... (my mother n law makes all our cakes with the BEST buttercream frosting in the world and she is out of town right now so I am waiting for a bit ) but this HUGE dessert was yummy... and of course i ate the cherry ... because really Life is all about the Cherry on top ....

Hope you have a wonderful 4th of July .... I will be relaxing by the pool ...because in a couple weeks I am heading here ... (oh , and the website will be shutting down for a couple weeks in July to get ready for the fall stock ... but we will reopen again August 1st ..with all NEW inventory )

until next time ,
