I was thrilled to do Amdur Productions, "The Inside Show" this past weekend. Only forty artists were chosen, ten of whom were jewelers. The air was rareified, let me tell you. But that is not what this post is about.
On Monday, I received an email from a lady (who shall remain nameless) telling me that anyone from "The Real Thing" show OR the "Inside Show" were being asked to join a limited engagement Co-Op of some artists at an abandoned Borders store across…
The Inside Show

Let's hope this show becomes another holiday tradition!
Here are some thoughts :
1) The Elegant and Central location of the Highland Park Country Club was a superb selection. The Club itself is beyond lovely and on high traffic roads. I feel the site and hostess details will be keys to drawing our friends back again and again. On Friday night, there were spotlights circling the inky darkness and trying to draw the Friday Shopper’s attention. On Saturday and Sunday…

In eighteen days, my second son gets married to a wonderful girl. I'm all ready. I'll even post pictures of the event on AFI for fun. So, as Mother-of-the-Groom, I planned the rehersal dinner, helped the kids pay a few extra bills, and made all the wedding jewelry........no sweat!
I've needed a break. LOL
Yesterday I received a Zapp notification for Des Moines.
NO WAY....thought I......deadlines sneak up .......Oh, OH!

I thought about going 'in the hole' and ordering up something REALLY PRICEY for you, but decided there's nothing more special than a Red Ribbon for those who put the FINE in ART. THANKS! KATHLEEN

- Have not found out any more on the show. There is also a popular show going on at the same time right on Michigan ave. So There may be some traffic that filters over from there. It's the Howard Allen or something like that show? I'm thinking it should be good. Amy is a great promoter and is quite good at what she does! Maybe I'll see you at the show? I'll be in booth # 425. Have a great show!
