Festival of the Arts 2009

This past weekend I spent showing my jewelry at "Festival of the Arts" in Libertyville, IL. We had a lot of rain on Saturday, which made the people disappear for awhile. Totally made up for it on Sunday though with a beautiful sunny day with the temperatures in the upper 70's, could of not asked for a better day! Enjoyed being beside my talented friend Cindi with her paintings and meeting many new people. Here are a few pics of my booth and jewelry.





I cannot believe summer is coming to an end and the kids will all be going back to school soon. As we get older it seems each year goes faster and faster. I just want life to slow down so I can do all that I want to do and spend time with those that I miss! Enjoy what's left of your summer everyone and know that a wonderful fall is just around the corner!

The Cindy/Cindi collaboration project~

One of my favorite people in the world, who also happens to be a very talented painter Cindi Sartain and I worked today on some pendants with her paintings in them. We wanted to do some this summer for the "Festival of the Arts" in Libertyville, IL. , since we always have booths right next to each other. Here are some samples of the ones we put together that are still drying. Love the way they look in the pendants! I will post some more pictures as we do more and will be putting some on the website.
