I had a successful day at the Westport Seafood Festival. It was a perfect sunny day with great friends and a fairly good crowd. I think it will be on my agenda again next year.
I was pretty busy so I didn't take many pictures.
My friend Debbie lives in Westport. She sells sterling chains and rings so she shared my booth. Her chains complimented my jewelry and I was able to change some dragonfly earrings into a pendant for a customer. Debbie is in the background in this picture talking on her cell phone. A friend from the Portland area also came and brought the canopy we used. She put her beaded amulet bags on the table and they attracted alot of attention.
This picture shows the tray I made. I pressed flowers, glued them to the inside of the tray and poured resin over them. It creates a plastic-like coating that withstands heat and cold. Alot of people were interested in the starfish I coated with resin. I was going to make mobiles with them but I didn't have time before the festival. Maybe next year...
My husband put some of his photographs out too. They were a good draw for men waiting for their wives who were looking at jewelry. His famous dragonfly picture was popular. It was used to make my business cards.
I had stiff competition right across from my booth. Angi lives in Westport and besides her jewelry she makes cute bags from recycled tshirts, little paperbag albums and tie-dyed onesies. I love the unique displays she made for her jewelry. For earrings she had two lamps mounted on a slice of log and had holes punched around the bottom of the lampshades. They are in the background in this picture. She made the rustic wooden fence surrounding her booth as well. We exchanged cards and hopefully will meet again next year.
I'm taking a short break then I'll be getting ready for Christmas. I'll be participating in two local shows this year. Hopefully I will also have time to add jewelry to my etsy shop soon.
Thanks for stopping by!
