La busqueda sigue - Since the crafts show, I haven't been able to get my mind off of finding another venue to sell my jewelry.

In the last weeks, I've been on the internet checking sites and pounding the pavement. There's so much information out there, but yet there isn't! I suppose there are only so many venues in the NY metropolitan area. Strike: Street festivals (no tent nor table & chairs nor vendor's license, oh and the season's pretty much over); and high visibility arts & crafts shows (same as above AND application period closed at the beginning of the year AND the fee is daunting - yikes).

The greenflea market at 76th Street was promising (low fee, availability, high traffic) but they are simply saturated with jewelry. I was delighted, however, to meet Juli of Julira Designs! She makes crochet silver jewelry which is beautiful. I also met the designer (did not get her name unfortunately) from anothai. Also beautiful jewelry and accessories. Both ladies are an inspiration!

Encontrada un otro lugar. Actually, I've been sitting on the fence about LAUNCH-NYC because of the fee - $100. I mentioned this to mij goed vriend, G, and being the artist herself, decided to join me and share the table! Fantastische! The date I've applied for is November 18, which will give her enough time to return to glass work (beads).

I'm happy now that I have an event each month for the next two months! I'll have to decide if I want to do a second show in Astoria, which would be December 2nd. Hmm ...
