Button Up

I just had a wonderful write up on SilkFair titled "Button Up" which is ironic since I almost named my company that!


Button up

Now for some sales!!!
Newest here-I'm on a barrette roll!

My photos need help....

I love mother of pearl-buttons, discs, buckles,etc. but I find them hard to photograph. The light reflects and shines and absorbs odd colors. I've sold several pieces like this pin and barrette but the colors arent't true.

Here's my latest barrette in the shop but the picture could be/should be better. Anyone have any suggestions? In advance...thanks!

Time Flies

I haven't posted for a week because................? I feel a bit like my days are very short and are whizzing by but I do get a great deal accomplished. I am now preparing for my first (in over 7 years) little show which is on Sunday. It's a harvest festival, a first annual and a donation is all that it costs to show. There will be loads of kids activities, pumpkin decorating, food and about a dozen crafters. I had forgotten how much there is to do to get ready with deciding what to bring, pricing, packaging, set-up, etc. Sunday morning I will de-activate some things that are on etsy so I can bring them. It's hard not to be excited but I don't want to be crushed if there's a poor outcome so I'm trying to be level headed. With kids expected (and parents, of course) I'm bringing mostly my less expensive items like bookmarks , barrettes, and magnets but the purses and hats as well. Maybe 1 or 2 clocks...we'll see.
Wish me luck!!!
