Trunk Show Happiness

My friend Cherie is a great friend and also a fellow Etsy artist. We met last summer at a craft fair and became fast friends, finding that we had much in common (although Cherie's Etsy shop, http://www.jimmypickles.etsy.com/ is a soaring success, and mine is...well...still a fledgling. But that's another story for another blog). While my medium is gemstones, Cherie's is fabric. She has a very good eye for color and pattern, and her display is always a visual treat. Last fall we teamed up for an accessories trunk show, and it was a lovely night. We were invited to do our second trunk show together on Friday night in historic Cold Spring Harbor at a private residence. My fun and amazing friend Samantha also came along for the evening. We had a great time! A much more enjoyable event than sitting behind a craft show table all day, that's for sure! The trunk show guests loved the colors of all of the accessories, the range of product, and I admit: it was total eye candy. :)

Here's my jewelry display:

Doesn't this just say, "welcome spring"? :)
