she's a little pooped out........

Yeh...I'm a little worn down, tired and crispy, but ready to get on with new projects and keep the fall momentum going that seems to seek me out and kick my ever-loving arse this time of year.

Just to clue you in on the goings-ons of the show this weekend,  I got a chance to hang with Mary Ann, Melba, Heidi, Mindy & Karen. What a treat to see some of their work in person, and to do a little holiday shopping. I have to admit (confess) that my big purchase was for myself. This is the second purse I've bought from Karen of Simply June, and as usual the quality was perfect, and the material was to die for. My friends and family have been making fun of the old yard sale purse that I've been hauling around, and I have to say that not only do I feel ultra-organized, but quite fashionable with this baby slung over my shoulder. organized? fashionable? Moi?

You can head over to my Flickr if you'd like to check out more photos.

While there, I also got to meet two talented girly-girls that I had never met until Saturday, Kari and Jana, both making a long distance trip to partake in the show. I am familiar with both of their sites, so was psyched to make their aquaintance. Another super-sweet darling was Melissa, someone who I was not familiar with, but I stopped by her site this morning and immediately linked her! I knew right away that her art and design would be something that I would love.

Across the aisle from us were two wonderful ladies from Kaleidosoul.  Colorful and dear is how I would describe these gals. Well wishes to you both!

Here is a piece I made for display at the show. She was well received....I think I've got to name her. Any ideas?

Now that I am back home, I can start uploading jewelry to Junque Revival, so if you are interested in finding out when the new goods are coming in, you can always sign up for the newsletter (in the right column), as I'll be sending out a note to let you all know when the new pieces are up for sale! I'll also be offering a fun freebie to some of you customers. Stay tuned.....

If you are in the area, don't forget to visit us at the Gardiner Art Walk this Friday night. I'll be in the Art Dogs building drinking wine and telling tales. (OK...forget the tales, I don't know what in the hell I'm talking about, I'm just trying to be silly)

Oh... just in case you're not sure where you are, it's still me, Jes. I decided to clean this site up a bit, it was starting to feel like one of my closets. I've moved all of my links to here.

I love the new look of your blog.
The new necklace you've designed that's displayed on the banner is gorgeous!
Some of the pictures in your other posts have disappeared (it might just be me though?!)

I LOVE the model that you created. So clever and lovely and feminine, but not in a too-soft or fluffy way. LOVE it! What to name her? Hmmm...I think on it.
