Mistaken Identity

I recently applied to an event in my home town, as was quite excited about catching the deadline right at the last minute. Granted I still have to make it past the jury process, but its always nice to squeeze in right under the cuff.

The evening I applied I was left a very nice voice message explaining to me that I would have to apply as a retail vendor because in order to apply as a crafter I would have had to actually make the jewelry myself not buy it.

I just about died. Well of course I had to laugh and I immediately called and left a message explaining my innocence. Only to follow the call up with an email pleeing my case and a bunch of photos attached of me working in my space. Of course I received an email back that very next morning excusing the confusion, but boy for a hot minute I was panicked.

My husband says that is what happens when you have quality jewelry and a great photographer. The only thing I could say is, I guess so.

Because being beautiful makes you the bad guy.

New Canopy

I have had my canopy for my 10x10 for about 3 years now. Though it was sturdy and relatively inexpensive it was Blue. Not sky blue not periwinkle blue deep natural shadow blue. Today I have ended the tyranny and finally picked up a new canopy top white in color for only $32 at Walmart. Yeah recession that I am able to afford an new canopy. and saved on shipping by having it shipped to the local store.
I am looking forward to my new friend the white canopy.
