Treasury!

Finally! I got a treasury! If you are not an etsy regular, the treasury is a place where people hand-pick items, usually with some kind of theme. There can only be a certain number of treasuries at the same time, though, so it can be really hard to snag one! I got one by accident last night--woo hoo for happy accidents!! Anyway, short post today, I just wanted to share. If you haven't done so already, vote in my poll to the right, then scroll down to my "Portraiture" post and leave a comment so you can be entered to win a free pendant!

Labor Day Weekend!!!

Yes, it's true, I madly-at-the-last-minute signed up for the Etsy at the Beach End of Summer Art Sale, and it is going to be super-fun.

I will be sharing a booth again with the fabulous Danielle, and along with many other Oregon etsy-ers will be selling our work at this humongous event. It's being held at the Lincoln City Cultural Center, 540 NE Hwy 101 (for any of you who feel like venturing out this weekend), from 10am to 6pm.

Personally, Steve, Indigo, and I will be hauling our butts out there early Saturday morning, beating the holiday rush to the beach. They're going to drop me off at the sale and go laze around the ocean all day. Then it's a night of camping at River's place (Stone River Studios), the amazing woman who has worked her ass off to coordinate this event. Sunday morning we're packing it up, and I am going to force Steve and Indie to spend another day at the beach before we head home. Poor babies :D

So, How'd it Go?

Yikes! Almost a week since the PDX Etsy sale and I haven't written about it yet! So, how'd it go? It was awesome!!

My super-sweet tent-mate was the fabulous Miss Purl (Danielle), who couldn't have been a better person to share with. She makes gorgeous jewelery! And she made the best etsy banners for our booth:
My very good friend, the Awesome Mary came and hung out with us for most of the day. It is always good to have lots of company! My pendants looked super cute in their new boxes, and people got a kick out of my moveable ACEO's. It was so much fun to hear their reactions. I sold some pendants (two even to a lady buying for Christmas! Talk about planning ahead!!), and a bunch of buttons and my friend John bought some ACEO's. Steve even managed to come by for a bit in the middle of his 8-hour-pinhole-photography class. Sweetie :)

The weather was PERFECT, I got to enjoy a fantastic breakfast burrito and the best peach ever from the Farmer's Market, and I had so much fun people watching and chatting with everyone. Yay etsy show!!!
