It's time for me to start thinking about where to stay in Milwaukee during Morning Glory - August 13-14. Any female artists interested in sharing a hotel room? Any recommendations from locals/past…Continue

Getting ready to head south for my first show in 2011. I'll be down there for Estero and then Bonita Springs. Since I quit my "day job" (yes, a crazy move, but it was time), I'll be saving money by…Continue

Zee Galliano replied to Lisa Braun's discussion Taking Credit Cards - Newbie wants to know how you...
"I usually just wait to process charges on my computer later unless it's a high-end sale. I get the zipcode and *sometimes* ask (should be always, but I get lazy/careless) for a phone number "in case there's a problem later" (like…"

geri a. wegner replied to Zee Galliano's discussion Morning Glory - Milwaukee, WI
"Yes there were. I am sure that it was much lower attendance because of the weather but people were definitely there. I just wrote a blog on the show."

Zee Galliano replied to bill daniels's discussion 12V portable fan
"The Ryobi fan also runs off the NiCd batteries which are half the cost of the other type. I *love* my fan!"
Zee Galliano commented on geri a. wegner's blog post Hot, Hot, Hot...It must be the Buffalo Grove Invitational Art Festival!!!!
"Thank you Geri for reiterating my pet peeve: non-jewelers (in jurying terms) showing/selling jewelry! As if it's not almost impossible to get juried into shows in the first place as a jeweler! Then, when I'm lucky enough to get in, to have…"
Angelica Lee replied to Zee Galliano's discussion Morning Glory - Milwaukee, WI
"Hi, Zee
I'm a local :)
I was able to get a room at the downtown Hilton for $35 not too long ago last minute on hotwire. It's within walking distance of Morning Glory. It was a smallish room but clean and nice.
Downtown is great if…"

Morning Glory - Milwaukee, WI
It's time for me to start thinking about where to stay in Milwaukee during Morning Glory - August 13-14. Any female artists interested in sharing a hotel room? Any recommendations from locals/past participants for an inexpensive-but-not-too-scary place to stay? Thanks all. ZeeSee More
Zee Galliano replied to Ruth Finkenbiner's discussion Adjustable table legs
"Hi Ruth - I'm intrigued by these table legs since I'm constantly thinking about how to redesign my own booth! Do you find them nice and sturdy under the weight of a glass case when fully extended?"
Zee Galliano commented on Paul Zerjay's blog post Positive Energy Flow
"Hi Pat - Sounds like I had an identical experience to yours with a show in WI (I'm guessing the same one?). Except I finally *did* get an email back - telling me I'd been "dropped" from the waitlist! Two months before the show?…"
Zee Galliano commented on dolly ramot's blog post Doing shows by yourself
"I'm 55 and do shows on my own as well. Give yourself plenty of time. And practice! Since I've done 5 shows in 6 weeks this year, I no longer need to refer back to my "training video" to set up my Light Dome! But if you really do…"
Zee Galliano commented on Alison Thomas's blog post Osceola
"Hey - congrats to all of you that actually *made* a sale!!! This was my first - and hopefully only/last - ZERO show. That's not easy for a jeweler to accomplish you know :-)
It was beyond sad on so many levels. The ospreys nesting in the…"

Sold two of the granulated pieces that are in my jury slides!
Nice to do a show where silver art jewelry is truly appreciated *and* purchased.
- Worst show ever and why
- Hasn't happened yet - there has been something wonderful, fun, educational, etc. about them all. As a friend of mine says, the worse day at a bad show still beats sitting in an office! As an ex state worker bee, I couldn't agree more.

- Found it online - I spend way too much time on the internet...but this has been a great source of information - so it counts as working!
