Sawdust Festival Winter Fantasy 2013-1 "I'm In!!!"

Hi All, I'm back and I'm determined to be a consistent and interesting blogger here from this day forward! :)

Thanks to you who are reading my blog, and I know you are out there! I will have a lot of news and interesting stories to report in the coming days, weeks and months as I was just officially accepted to exhibit in the Sawdust Festival Winter Fantasy this coming Holiday Season! 

Here is a link to the Winter Fantasy, I hope that if you visit you will stop by my booth and introduce yourself so I can meet you in person!

There are so many things there to keep you occupied, and the Winter Fantasy is so fun for kids and adults alike! I'll be talking about some if the fun times we have had in the past. Keep on checking back as I also will be posting about the items I'm working on to show in my booth, and will post about the progress of getting ready for the show. Did you know that the booths are torn down each year after the show ends? This year I was lucky enough to be using a booth built by a summer exhibitor, so there will be so much less to do. In the past my husband and I built my booth from the ground up, and it's literally like building a room in a home, as it has to pass city inspection and all, to be safe enough for all of the visitors who come! 

One more item: I participated each winter 2006-2010, and always sold plenty of stained glass items. Ornaments, candle holders, you name it! This year I will have my oil paintings as well! I'm so excited because I have never exhibited my oils! Nervous but excited as well. I have a lot of work to do between now and then so keep checking. I will make posts at least twice each week. Some posts will be informative, such as basics of creating a stained glass piece. 

I hope you enjoy!
This business card holder is my latest to go out to a customer. It's made using a very unique 'Kokomo' glass which is made in the beautiful USA. I love the deep shades of blue with greens, all swirled together within the glass. I always use good quality, true stained glass for all of my pieces. Here I added 3 glass 'globs' to embellish the front of the holder.

I'm hoping to hear from the new owner of this piece soon as I believe they received the delivery today! I'll let you know when I do get feedback. 

Thanks for stopping by and keep on coming back. Have a wonderful day!
