...and on it's own...this classic piece from the Roving Spinners

...happily showing some of my new pieces, now neatly packed away for the move to Colorado!!!!

It was my last show in Rhode Island. I started selling jewelry out of the house on Albert, when we first moved to Rhode Island, and it organically evolved into showing my wares at craft shows round and about Rhode Island along with the hundreds and hundreds of other gifted artists and crafts people from the New England area. My virgin voyage with the photos was 4 years ago at the Boathouse, and the rest, as they say is history. This is a small sampling of the beautiful work from yesterdays' vendors.

Many thanks to Margarita, the enormously gifted jewelry maker from her own studio,
Margarita Designs, fun and feminine vintage glass jewelry designs with contemporary flair, for orchestrating such a welcoming event!!

Aspray Boathouse Holiday Sale

The weather was perfect for December 11th. Sunny, 45 degrees. The Aspray Boathouse was a very busy place in the 1700's; now a refurbished and most lovely waterfront venue. The vendors were all ready to roll by 10:30AM. The shoppers were non-stop for a good part of the day as the Aspray show was planned in conjunction with a historic walk around Pawtuxet Village (founded in 1638 by Roger Williams). Some people left and came back with more cash in tow. I had my best day of sales to date...and for me, the thrill was that I was just selling the photos. Over 50 different cards, framed 4x6's, framed 5x7's. All the gluing, pressing, signing, dating, labeling, stuffing, matting and gluing some more, and framing (whew) paid off!! We were even treated to a live operatic performance at 5PM. I hope you can get a feel of the warmth of the venue, along with some of the gifted vendors from the photos!!

A hearty thank you to all who came out!!
