Well I've been a way for awhile working hard getting ready for my flea market business this summer. I have been busy buying, pricing, sorting, and making items for sale for the up coming summer. My business is a combination of supplies that one would use for fiber arts/crazy quilting and finished jewelry. For the crazy quilter/fiber artist I will have many wonderful laces, beads, buttons, silk ribbons, and fabrics. For finished jewelry I have earrings, necklaces, and bracelets. Here are a few photos of some of the earring and necklaces.
 




 
I have also made some altered art items. One is a shabby chic shadow box.
 
 


 


 



 
And other items are altered spoons and forks. I made a few of these last year and almost sold out of them. So I decided to make a few more.
 
 
Here are a few close ups
 


 
I will attending this years Bead and Button show in Milwaukee, WI again. Last year I just went to shop. I had a great time. Three days of shopping for beads. I was in heaven. This year I will be shopping again but I have also sign up for a class. I will be taking a class with Sherry Serafini and Hannah Rosner. Here is a picture of what we will be learning:
 
 
I can hardly wait. Shibori seems to be the latest craze and I am looking forward to learning how to use it. If anyone else is going to the show maybe email me and we could get a soda or something.  Well back to work. I have been researching about possibly doing some sales on Ebay.  We will see. It's a lot to learn. Any whooo..... have a great day.
