Calgary Lilac Festival

The Lilac Festival was great. The weather was hot...almost too hot, and there were swarms of people...almost too many! It was so crowded it was difficult for some people to actually get to the different booths along the roadway. I was right next to the music stage so I was able to hear all the great musicians and bands through out the day. The "people watching" was very entertaining as well! Among other things, I sold my Champagne Super Nova pearl necklace and matching earrings. In the top photo, check out the "legs", that display my anklets! I still have a good supply of finished jewelry pieces, so I plan on listing new items in my Etsy shop this week.
Here I am in my booth, I was next to a lady selling paintings!

Hot Rocks Summertime fun!

"Girls Just Wanna Have Fun"

On Sunday I will be selling my wares at the Lilac Festival in Calgary. The Lilac Festival is a one day street festival that runs for 19 blocks, featuring artists, vendors, musicians, dance and theater performances, comic entertainers, face painting etc. This festival has been taking place for 20 years, and between 80,000 and 100,000 people attend. I have been busy building up my stock of jewelry for this event, so along with making a plethora of earrings as well as some pretty anklets, and necklaces, I made these fun summer bracelets that will be at this weekends show.

Bummed!!

Well yesterday was the day I had been waiting for since January...the big Fleetwood Mac concert! Just as we were ready to go out and meet our friends for dinner, before we all headed down to see the concert, the news came... The Fleetwood Mac concert is postponed! Ugh...no.....what a let down! Apparently one of the band members was ill, not sure who, but just hours before the show, they had to let everyone know that it was off. Well, these things happen, everyone tends to get sick from time to time, and the show is supposed to be rescheduled. So looks like I will have to wait a bit longer to see one of my all time favourite bands. My thoughts go out to whoever is sick in the band, and I pray that they get better very soon. Pin It
