hi there. welcome back! how was your weekend?
i spent all day on saturday in philly at the buyer’s market of american craft. i was so lucky to be invited as “press” again at this prestigious – and exclusive – event. megan auman, from crafting an mba, walked the floor with me. she had a great perspective since she exhibits at other wholesale shows. she’ll have the show recaps from a biz perspective on her blog – and i’ll show you the passion & pretties!
later this week, i’ll be introducing you to some of the great artists & crafters i met, including betsy from foundling (the necklaces & rings above are hers).
til then, i’m going to leave you in the capable hands of the sg contributors as i continue to catch up on a bit of other work and present at my alma mater on tuesday afternoon. wish me luck!!

Love those rings! Best of luck to you tomorrow! I’m hoping to make it.
Look at all that inspiration!!
wow how lucky! looks like it was filled with lots of great finds!
Good luck on your presentation!
I’d love to attend that show sometimes. Can’t wait to hear more about your finds!
Wow, that show looks huge!!!!
Holy crap, that’s like every Christmas and birthday ever all rolled up into one and made into a place to visit and dream. I am so jealous!
Visted w/ Betsy today! So fun to see an old school etsian on the floor of the BMAC!
Wow…looks like a shoppers paradise. I’m envious.
