WOW! What a crazy day Glitterfest was and way too much fun! The patrons were lined up before the doors opened and when the flood gates separated it was 3 1/2 hours of non stop, wall to wall, table to table bliss! It thinned out around 1:30 and was semi normal.....unfortunately there was a
THIEF amongst the crowd and he or she stole one of my newest crosses that I spent hours creating and will never have another exactly like it. If you see some one wearing or selling a large 4 inch brass cross that has a key layered on top with the letters "peace" stamped into it, layered onto another black cross LET ME KNOW! The cross has 2 tiny and one larger religious medals hanging from it. It's on a very long beaded chain with black and torquoise crystals. It is also signed by me on the back of the cross with the initials RDH, actually stamped. I think its really stupid on a cosmic level to steal a cross! BAD KARMA WILL COME TO THE IDIOT WHO STOLE FROM EVERYONE! I wasn't the only one who had merchandise stolen. Several others did too. It won't stop me from going again because it's such a great show.....in fact it's the best show I have ever done with the best organizers and artists around!
A BIG THANK YOU TO SHERYL AND ALL THE ORGANIZERS AND HELPERS FOR GLITTERFEST! Also a big thank you to my pal Karen. I wouldn't have been able to manage my booth without her. Check out her
blog and
etsy! She sells really cute vignettes of vintage findings, cool banners (custom too) and some other hand made goodies. She is also unofficially one of my "reps" and is always promoting me. I can't wait till the next Glitterfest, Oct.2. The theme will be for Halloween and Christmas! I also want to thank ALL of my students and friends who came by my booth, gave me hugs, bought stuff and wore jewelry they made in my classes!!! That is the best endorsement ever! I felt so loved!!
