TRUNK SHOW: candlelight, cocktails, costumes, and creations - in Hayes Valley
Halloween Trunk Show
The Blue Muse
Oct 18, 2011
Treasure Island Music Festival
Along with the ferris wheel rides, games, food, creative vendors and happenings, and of course--the music, Kelly Malone of Workshop SF created a huge, interactive, DIY/game/campsite area. People were having a great time building terrariums, sewing, chilling in the outdoor lounge - complete with comfy sofa and coffee table - or lounging in one of several pillow-strewn teepees... She makes a thoroughly welcoming environment, and people really enjoyed it.
But let's talk about the lovely festival-goers who came to my booth! I have such fun meeting people who love this mesh, and it's a special joy when they forgo the box and insist on wearing the jewelry right away. Here are three of several stylish gals who walked away wearing their recent purchases!

This time the booth was simply a six foot table, so one small display had to rise to the occasion. Note to self: if you triple the display height it will be very difficult to see around it to greet people! Fortunately my neighboring designers were very friendly and let me shift around a bit...
By the end of the weekend quite a few of these pieces had found new homes. Sometimes it can be a little hard to say goodbye, and with several one-(or two)-of-a-kind pieces gone, I look forward to the next vintage bag find, and all the new jewelry it will inspire!

And finally, in case you didn't catch that poster on the far left side of the table... please see the latest jewelry model - so ably demonstrating that the mesh looks great on guys, too!
Next event will be an evening trunk show at the Blue Muse in SF. Come have a cocktail and shop the local SF wares! It's Halloween-themed, so we may opt for a costume... more details soon.

Indie Mart was so much fun!!
Kelly Malone has made a real scene with San Francisco's Indie Mart, drawing talented makers and musicians - it's a really good time.
The weather was perfect, the music was great, and meeting so many people
who love this jewelry as much as I do - well, it's the very best way to spend a day!
  |
| The beaming faces of happy customers is my new adrenaline -- makes the late nights and long days worth every one. |
 |
| The wood displays are definitely an undertaking to transport - but once they're up it's such a nice space... |
 |
| ... and really makes it easy to see and shop all the jewelry. |
Huge thanks to everyone who came by the booth - you made my day. Now off to prepare for the next showing - Treasure Island Music Festival is this weekend!

first public market - first Press!
I'm so honored and excited to be named one of TheFeast.com's "favorite newbies" at the recent Urban Air Market. My first public venue, and my first Press! It's a real thrill to be mentioned, and in such good company...
booth at CAPSULE / Urban Air Design Market
I had such a great time at our first public show! Urban Air Market (formerly CAPSULE Design Festival) flourished in the sun, in beautiful Hayes Valley. I wish I could say I saw the entire show, but I was too busy in my own booth to check it all out... What I did see looked amazing.
Great day, great people, great contacts. Success.
