Hi all!
The sun is finally out, on a
regular basis, here in New England. The sun and I have a troubled
relationship (I'm allergic) but I'm still glad to see it! Things are
blooming, and my allergies are punishing me, but I'll take it! It's
Summer show season, and I can get back to taking photos for Hieropice
outside, in gorgeous natural light. Doing that in January was brutal.
We're just coming out of a tricky, scary period here in Boston, and I'm
happy to feel good about going outside again. After the Boston Marathon
bombings and the manhunt for the bombers that followed, we were on
lock-down here in my neighborhood as they turned up about 10 minutes
away, in Watertown. We were prohibited from leaving our homes, and it
turns out the local man who they car-jacked in their escape attempt was
car-jacked two blocks from my house. I have several friends who live in
the neighborhood that was a constant fixture on the news for days, as
the police exchanged gunfire with the bombers and searched for the
surviving bomber in resident's homes. Everyone I care for is safe,
thankfully, and I'm relieved the worst is over.
On a positive
note, on May 18th, I'm taking on my first craft show as Producer, and
I'm quite nervous, and excited about it! I've been reaching out to all
the artists' whose beautiful work I've seen at shows, purchased on Etsy,
found in consignment shops like Boutique Fabulous and Magpie,
or elsewhere online, and asking them to apply for the May 18th show,
particularly those with Etsy shops. Somerville Beat interviewed me about the show, and did a great piece on it here , wherein they featured my Orange Flower Terrarium Necklace
and we chatted about the vision behind the Assembled show on the 18th.
And, I'm even more excited about some new, one-of-a-kind pieces that
I'm about to launch. I'm finishing them up now, and can't wait to show
them off, I'm really proud of how they've turned out and they're really
different/unique, which is my constant goal.
I've never seen anything like them in my 31 years of life, so I hope you'll all respond as positively to them as I hope you will! Anyway, get outside and enjoy the proliferation of Spring, if you can! I know I will.
I've had this vision of making an all-Etsy craft show happen for a while now, and it's finally going to happen! The
Cheers!
