Hello dear blog readers-it's been so long! But I have pictures today! The Arts Market has been going great. The whole set up of a weekly market is new to me, but I like it, and it's really fun. I meet great people every week I'm there, and it's so close to my house, I can't complain. Some days at craft shows are great for me not because I make a ton of money, but because I get re-motivated to make stuff! Yesterday was one of those days, and now I'm excited for the upcoming 3 day weekend so I can get some serious accessory making done. At the market this week, Katy, the organizer, introduced me to someone and said, " This is Alison and she makes accessories." I feel like I've referred to myself as a jewelry maker for so long, it's time for me to start thinking of myself as an accessory maker. It doesn't sound as catchy, but it's more accurate, and just thinking of myself that was is inspiring me to expand my product lines.

Anyway! My handyman J made me a new jewelry display for the arts market, and it's working out great lately. The arts market is a great excuse to try out new displays and be creative. This one is fantastic!

Isn't it nice? And it does a much better job of not blowing over than the last display! Now that I think about it, the display with the metal pipes that kept falling over the first week also came crashing down at the Bazaar Bizarre! And that was inside!

I also had some mirrors for sale this weekend for the first time!


And, I made a sign, finally.

Yay! Thanks for listening to my ramblings; I'll leave you with some Bonnaroo pictures, because I really did go!

Here's the sign I made for the car window for the drive down

It was raining when we got there and I had a chance to take the pic, but the sign looked sweet!

And, a shot of the What Stage, when we were waiting for Snoop Dogg's performance (yeah, we were far away!)
Have a great week! Hopefully it stops raining before the 4th!
